The proposed Night Safari project in Lucknow threatens to destroy 50% of the Kukrail Forest, one of the city's last remaining green spaces. Over 1,500 trees will be cut, and the city zoo will be relocated here, risking severe disruption to the natural habitat. Home to leopards, jackals, gharials, and migratory birds, Kukrail's delicate ecosystem faces irreversible damage. Increased human activity, waste, and enclosures will harm wildlife and worsen air quality and rising temperatures. Saving Kukrail is not just about trees, it's about protecting life, climate, and the city's future.
