Description
The Occurrence dataset for Butterfly species in Banabitan Biodiversity Park(Central Park) , North 24 Parganas , West Bengal , India is published by Nature Mates Nature Club. Banabitan is an urbanized park located in the centre of Salt Lake City, is the second largest park in Kolkata. It is maintained under the Urban Recreation Forestry Division, Directorate of Forest, Government of West Bengal. Presently it encompasses a total area of around 65 acres , of which 46 acers are land mass and the remaining 19 acres are a water body located in the centre of the park. Urban ecosystems depend on land usage and other multiple factors. With the increase in urbanization parks, gardens inside the city play a very important role in maintain natural vegetation and sustaining its biodiversity. This dataset enlists Butterfly species in Banabitan. The study was conducted at various parts of the Banabitan Biodiversity Park. We are thankful to the forest department for giving us the opportunity to work at Banabitan since long. The respected CF, and DFO sirs of Urban Recreation Forestry Division are specially mentioned here for their unconditional support and guidance. Banabitan Butterfly Conservatory and lab is supported by CSR fund of the Linde Foundation from January,2024. We are thankful to Linde Foundation for giving us that opportunity to work with them.
