initiative taken by Sanjay Gandhi biological park for captive breeding
Answers
Sanjay Gandhi Jaivik Udyan or Sanjay Gandhi Jaivik Udyan or the Patna Zoo is a major city highlight. Counted among the largest zoos in the country, Sanjay Gandhi Jaivik Udyan was founded in 1972. The area that this zoo covers is about 153 acres. Keeping in tune with the guidelines of the National Zoo Policy (1998), the zoo aims at conservation and captive breeding of different species particularly the rare and endemic species of the Gangetic Plains region for preservation of bio-diversity, exchange with other zoological parks and rehabilitation of suitable species in the wild. It also offers scope for research and scientific study on animal behaviour, diseases and their control, food, nutrition and reproductive process. Kids love to be here as they get to see many animals that they had seen only on text books.
