Biodiversity Park, Hyderabad
The pylon
The commemorative pylon is an artistic expression of great mystery of life on earth and its creation. The pylon is a 32-foot-high elliptical structure made of limestone depicting the evolution of species — starting from an atom, evolving to become molecules, proteins, various life forms and the intelligent human being. The base of the pylon is composed of concentric circles representing nature's five elements – Earth, Air, Water, Fire and Ether. The circular pathway of black granite is engraved with names of different species. The fire ring is depicted by red granite and yellow limestone. The lower "ether" ring displays a world map with blue ocean waters. At the top of the pylon stands a double helix representing DNA.
The park
The biodiversity park covers an area of 13-acre land and is divided into four sectors totally containing more than 200 different species of plants. Each of them is represented by a UNO-member country and planted by a scientist participated in the summit conference. It is currently taken care by the Telangana Forest Department.
