🌳💔 A senior citizen @Ilovehyderabad shares her sorrow for Hyderabad through a poem recited at the recent KBR Geo-Tagging Event. 🌳 A poem for KBR, Hyderabad & the future we want to leave behind 🌳 - Lyrics, music & voice by Ms Sanghamitra Malik 1️⃣ It is unplanned development all the way, No matter what the authorities say. It is trees, plants, parks & lakes any day, Flyovers, rotaries & skywalks — no way, no way! 2️⃣ We want greenery & open spaces — yeh, yeh, yeh, We want to walk, jog & run and have our way. The priorities of the government of the day Should be planting native trees all the way. 3️⃣ If there were no plants & trees, I can say, There would be no life on Earth, a single day. It is plants we need for food every day, And oxygen to breathe night & day. 4️⃣ The KBR Park is on a high ridge, I pray, All violations must stop straightaway. All thoughts of more constructions — take away, We only want our footpaths & walkways. 5️⃣ More birds will be back day by day, Butterflies will flutter their wings to portray Their happiness, and squirrels scampering up the trees Will be seen on the branches every day. 6️⃣ I dare say, we'll have our way, Improve the quality of life day by day. We'll fight to save the parks, not the motorways, We'll win this one — hurray, hurray, hurray! 🌿 As Hyderabad witnesses the loss of trees, lakes and green spaces in the name of development, these words echo the emotions of countless citizens who fear for the future of their city. #SaveKBR #Hyderabad #PoetryForNature #UrbanForests #CitizenVoices #HyderabadRains 🌿

🌳 EVERY TREE. MAPPED. COUNTED. NAMED. 🌳 Following the Supreme Court’s May 18, 2026 stay order halting further tree felling in the Eco-Sensitive Zone of KBR National Park, 15 citizen volunteers took it upon themselves to document every standing tree on the medians surrounding KBR. Each tree was assigned a unique identification number. Its GPS coordinates were recorded. Its species was identified. The result is a scientifically documented tree map that is now in the public domain. Today, citizens publicly unveiled this Geo-Tagged Tree Map at Lamakaan — a citizen-led initiative to strengthen transparency, accountability and the ongoing effort to save KBR from unscientific flyovers proposed around Hyderabad’s last green lung. “This is about creating accountability,” said @nuts2406, who led the effort. “While we cannot bring back the trees already felled, it is critical to scientifically document the trees that still remain. Once these trees are mapped and enumerated, monitoring and protecting them becomes far more effective.” Naturalist @asiyakhantrees, who provided technical support, added: “Contrary to claims that the median plantations were recent and of a single species, we found several old trees and a rich diversity of native species.” 💚 The citizen volunteers behind this effort: Aditya Lakshmi, Akanksha, Amit, Ankita, Ashu, Jayant, Kaajal, Naveen, Padmini, Sabita, Sashank, Teja and Vardhan. This is citizen science in action. This is public accountability in action. This is Hyderabad standing up for its last green lung. And through this map, citizens are sending a clear message to the authorities @revanth_anumula @GHMCOnline @CommissionrGHMC @TelanganaCMO @moefcc @INCIndia: We will continue to resist — scientifically, peacefully and legally — any attempt to choke KBR National Park with flyovers. Hyderabad is already witnessing the consequences of ecological destruction in the form of extreme heat, urban flooding, water scarcity, worsening air quality and shrinking green cover. The city cannot afford to lose its most vital ecological buffer. KBR is not just a park. It is Hyderabad's last green lung. Its survival is inseparable from the future of the city itself. 📍 The map can be accessed by scanning the QR code at the end of the video. #SaveKBR #Hyderabad #CitizenScience #UrbanForests #NowForClimate #HyderabadRains #WelcomeToTheJungleTrailer
