Our mission is to preserve and expand the green heritage of Kashmir through thoughtful landscape and urban design.
We build beautiful, living systems that filter out pollution and clean our air, safeguarding a quiet, safe habitat for wildlife and a pristine sanctuary for future generations.
Through thoughtful landscape and urban design, our mission is to actively expand the green spaces of Kashmir. We build living systems that filter out pollution, clean our air, and create a quiet, safe habitat for every species.
What We Do
Ecological Landscape Design
Designing urban spaces and public parks that restore natural ecosystems and native biodiversity.
Pollution Reduction
Building living green barriers and natural systems that filter air, quiet noise, and clean our water.
Environmental Research
Publishing regional species records and educational resources to support long-term conservation.
Our first magazine edition is now accessible online.

Green cover in
Jammu & Kashmir
These 2023 figures show forest cover, one component of green cover, across Jammu & Kashmir.
Forest cover
as a share of area
21,346.39 km² of forest cover
Area by density class
Area in square kilometres (km²)
Forest density describes tree-canopy cover. These classes show how forest cover is distributed, rather than changes over time.
Scope: Jammu & Kashmir Union Territory, not the Kashmir Valley alone. Percentages use the Survey of India digitized boundary area adopted in the report. Scrub is excluded from forest cover.

Areas of focus
KASHMIR’S WATERWAYSEcological restoration & computational modeling
Advancing beyond traditional planting by utilizing environmental modeling to guide the restoration of degraded ecosystems. We simulate localized carbon sequestration and ecosystem dynamics to ensure resilient, self-sustaining habitats for native populations.
Urban design and complex systems
Applying principles from biomimicry and complex systems theory to engineer living public spaces and neighborhoods. This involves designing structural green spaces that actively filter urban pollution, manage thermal loads, and integrate human infrastructure with natural environmental rhythms.
Public awareness and ecological advocacy
Developing robust educational frameworks to elevate community understanding of environmental conservation. We empower the public with the knowledge to adopt sustainable practices, bridging the gap between advanced ecological design and daily civic life.
