The northern and southern sections of the Qutb Shahi Heritage Park are to be developed as ecological zones with dense native vegetation. Towards this objective, since 2014 a mapping of all trees has been carried out.
OUTCOME:
- Over 2000 saplings of 27 local varieties were procured to establish an on-site plant nursery.
- 300 saplings of local sturdy varieties were planted along the northern edge of the complex which otherwise was covered with garbage from the households.
- The existing plants are being treated properly and parasitic plants are being removed from the site.
NEXT STEPS:
In 2015 additional planting is proposed in areas outside the central archaeological zone.
