Hyderabad Urban Forest – Kanha Shanti Vanam,Hyderabad

Grow Billion Trees has launched a transformative urban forest initiative at Kanha Shanti Vanam, fostering a greener and more sustainable environment. In collaboration with local communities and environmental organisations, the project focuses on enhancing urban biodiversity and restoring ecological balance. A diverse mix of native and fruit-bearing trees is being planted strategically to improve air quality, support groundwater recharge, and create a thriving habitat for wildlife. By integrating nature into urban spaces, this initiative promotes climate resilience while providing long-term environmental and social benefits. This approach offers a dual benefit: native trees enhance urban biodiversity and air quality, while fruit-bearing trees contribute to ecological restoration and provide additional environmental value. By strategically planting trees in urban spaces, the initiative maximises land use efficiency, creating green lungs that improve soil health, support groundwater recharge, and mitigate climate change. The urban forest at Kanha Shanti Vanam fosters a thriving ecosystem without disrupting existing land functions, ensuring long-term environmental and social benefits for the community.
