Biodiversity is only preserved if it is alive and
thriving in the area it belongs to. In keeping with
this philosophy we have bio diversity parks in different
regions which not only maintain local biodiversity
but also serve to educate communities of the wealth
of natural resources in their area.
Presently our biodiversity parks exist in the following
