  • The Changa Manga (Urdu, Punjabi: چھانگا مانگا) is a planted forest which includes a wildlife preserve, in the Kasur and Lahore districts of Punjab, Pakistan. It is located approximately 80 kilometers south-west of Lahore. It was once the largest man-made forest in the world but has undergone illegal deforestation at a massive scale in recent times. Changa Manga is known more widely as "one of the oldest hand-planted forests in the world", and hosts a wide variety of flora and fauna. The forest is home to 14 species of mammals, 50 species of birds, six species of reptiles, two species of amphibians and 27 species of insects. Thus, other than producing timber for the local industry, the forest also serves as an important wildlife reserve. Named after two brother dacoits, the Changa Manga forest was originally planted in 1866 by British foresters. Its trees were harvested to gather fuel and resources for the engines employed in the North-Western railway networks. (en)
  • Changa Manga​ es un bosque plantado y un parque de vida silvestre en el distrito de Kasur, Punjab, al norte de Pakistán.El nombre de "Changa Manga" viene de la vieja historia de dos ladrones, Changa y Manga, que solían supuestamente esconderse en los bosques, junto con sus botines. Con el paso del tiempo las historias han sido moldeados en aventuras que cada niño en esa área cuenta. El bosque es accesible desde una carretera la N-5 cerca de la autopista Bhai PheruAnd Chunian. El bosque tiene una superficie de 48,6 kilómetros cuadrados (12.000 acres)​ y es uno de los mayores bosques artificiales en el planeta. (es)
