Karachi to build its largest bird aviary – Location and details

Karachi Mayor Barrister Murtaza Wahab has launched a Rs200 million conservation project at Kidney Hill Park, which will include the city’s largest bird aviary. The project aims to promote wildlife protection, eco-tourism, and sustainable recreation in Pakistan’s biggest city.

The foundation stone of the project was laid at Kidney Hill Park, where a large bird aviary will be built on 1.5 acres of land. The aviary will be around 40 feet high and designed in a way that blends with the natural environment, giving birds a safe and natural habitat. The Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) is funding the project.

During the ceremony, the mayor shared his vision for protecting birds and improving tourism in Karachi. He said the area was once filled with encroachments but has now been turned into a healthy urban forest, showing positive change in the city’s green spaces.

The mayor has directed that the project be completed within 120 days. He warned that any contractor showing negligence would be blacklisted. Similar large aviaries are also planned as part of efforts to modernize Karachi Zoo and Safari Park.

Kidney Hill Park is already setting an example in sustainability. It is Karachi’s first solar-powered park, where daily operations run on clean energy. This makes the project environmentally friendly and future-ready.

KMC is also working to upgrade lion enclosures and reptile houses at Karachi Zoo to improve animal welfare and enhance the visitor experience. These developments show the city’s focus on better recreational spaces for the public.

With these initiatives, Karachi is moving towards a stronger urban green space strategy. Nature lovers and photographers can expect this new attraction to become a popular weekend spot by 2026.
