Project Overview

In collaboration with Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd. and the Maharashtra Forest Department, a biodiversity hotspot was created at the Nature Interpretation Center, Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Mumbai. This initiative not only enhanced local biodiversity but also strengthened communal bonds, promoting environmental stewardship and a shared responsibility for preserving our natural heritage.

This sustainable gardening approach enhances the environment by assessing site conditions like soil and sunlight, and designing gardens that support local wildlife. Choosing native plants reduces maintenance and provides habitats for local species. Removing invasive plants, improving soil health with compost, and regular eco-friendly maintenance ensure a thriving landscape.
