Stretches across Gujarat, Rajasthan, Haryana, and Delhi, forming a crucial ecological spine.
Guru Shikhar, located in Rajasthan, a significant biodiversity hotspot.
Significant deforestation due to urbanization, mining, and agriculture, impacting biodiversity and water recharge. (Illustrative estimate based on various reports).
Despite judicial interventions, illegal activities persist, leading to habitat loss and ecological imbalance. (Illustrative estimate based on various reports and judicial observations).
The Aravallis are vital for replenishing aquifers in the semi-arid regions of Rajasthan and Haryana, directly impacting water security.

The Aravallis are vital for replenishing aquifers in the semi-arid regions of Rajasthan and Haryana, directly impacting water security.
Geological Age: Formed during the Precambrian era, making it a relict mountain, characterized by highly eroded peaks.
Extent: Stretches from Gujarat (near Palanpur) through Rajasthan and Haryana to Delhi (culminating in Raisina Hill).
Highest Peak: Guru Shikhar (1,722 meters) near Mount Abu, Rajasthan, which is also a significant pilgrimage site.
Ecological Significance: Acts as a natural barrier against the eastward expansion of the Thar Desert, protecting the fertile plains to its east.
Water Recharge: Crucial for groundwater recharge in the semi-arid regions of Rajasthan and Haryana, feeding numerous rivers and aquifers.
Biodiversity: Home to diverse flora and fauna, including several endemic species, and forms part of important wildlife corridors (e.g., Sariska Tiger Reserve, Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary, Asola Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary).
Climate Regulator: Influences the monsoon patterns and acts as the 'lungs of Delhi' by providing green cover, moderating air quality, and reducing heat island effect.
Threats: Faces severe threats from illegal mining, encroachment, deforestation, unchecked urbanization, and land-use changes.
Conservation Efforts: Various government initiatives, judicial orders (like the current Supreme Court order), and civil society movements are focused on its protection and restoration.
