The State Government of Karnataka is responsible for the administration and protection of the Bannerghatta National Park (BNP), located near Bengaluru.
In early 2025, the government moved to finalize and notify the Eco-Sensitive Zone (ESZ) around the park to create a regulated buffer area that prevents harmful industrial activities and uncontrolled urbanization.
The declaration of an ESZ is a critical step in preserving the biological diversity of the region, which serves as a vital green lung for the city of Bengaluru.
The move specifically aims to curb illegal mining and stone quarrying activities that have historically threatened the park's boundaries and the movement of wildlife.
