In association with the Ela Foundation, we identified a comprehensive biodiversity survey and carbon sequestration analysis of Maharashtra hydroelectric regions through field research along with Geographic Information System (GIS) technology. Located next to the Northwestern biodiversity hotspot, this area boasts rich biodiversity. When we surveyed nine sites where Tata Power plants generate hydroelectricity, there were 395 large trees and 2,260 tall trees identified. The community and the local ecology will both benefit from these discoveries, which will guide future efforts to increase the area's green cover and carbon sequestration



The Mundra Plant, in collaboration with Kutch University, conducted a Remote Sensing-Geographic Information System (RS-GIS) to develop a systematic intervention in the plant's challenging 453.04 ha Greenbelt area. In collaboration with Kutch University, a Certified Greenbelt Map was created, aligning with SDG 13 (climate action). This initiative enhanced resource management, tree survival, fire management, and land use cover. With over 70 dry land species, it achieved an 80% increase in tree survival, reducing drudgery, manpower, and costs while building trust. The model adheres to CDM and the UNFCCC Paris Agreement and introduces an innovative plantation approach in the region
