Introduction

Cities in Delhi and Satara have new plans. They want to protect animals and plants in two special areas.

Main Body

In Delhi, the forest department has a 10-year plan for Asola Bhatti. They divided the land into three parts. One part is only for animals. One part is for protection. One part is for tourists. They found 23 types of mammals, like leopards. Delhi also wants to stop forest fires. They will make three fire teams. These teams will use GPS and special chemicals to stop fires. In Satara, the government wants to protect the Kiraksal-Kukudwad grasslands. They will remove bad plants and grow native plants. They will count leopards and maybe start wildlife tours. They also want to protect the forest from a new highway.

Conclusion

Both cities now use science to keep their forests and grasslands healthy.
