Vision Statement
To create a future where wildlife thrives in harmony with people, ecosystems are resilient and self-sustaining, and every citizen values and participates in the conservation of Haryana’s natural heritage. We envision Haryana as a model state in biodiversity stewardship—where forests, wetlands, grasslands, and wildlife corridors are protected, restored, and celebrated as vital to environmental health, climate resilience, and cultural identity.
