From Wasteland to Wonderland: Before & After

The difference is stark. The top image shows a water body choked by invasive species, offering no support to local wildlife. The bottom image shows a healthy, restored pond, reflecting the sky and teeming with native life.

A former mining quarry at Aravali Nagar Van, once a scar of exposed rock, is now softened with green cover. This before and after view shows how native grasses and shrubs are beginning to reclaim the rocky slopes, preventing erosion and creating new habitats.

The Badshahpur Forest Corridor was once a neglected, overgrown dirt track. Today, it is a 5.6 km paved greenway used by thousands daily for walking and cycling, flanked by a dense, restored native forest.

Before, the Ghata Bundh was a dry, dusty area with scattered debris. After our restoration work, it now features a winding wooden walkway through a lush, green landscape, inviting the community to connect with nature.

At Behrampur Bundh, rough, eroded steps made of loose stones are replaced with properly constructed, stable stairs. This not only improves access but also prevents further soil erosion on the bundh's slopes.

The Chakkarpur Wazirabad Bundh was once a dumping ground for waste. Now, it's a beautiful, shaded walkway, a green artery running through the city that promotes clean mobility and community well-being.

This series of images documents the restoration of the Chakkarpur Wazirabad stormwater drain. We cleared over 180 truckloads of waste, installed fencing, and planted over 20,000 native saplings to bring it back to health.

The 'before' state of the Chakkarpur Wazirabad drain shows a channel completely choked with plastic, sewage, and waste. This blockage created a serious health hazard and prevented any water flow.

The 'after' shot of the Chakkarpur Wazirabad drain is a picture of serenity. Clean water now flows freely, reflecting the restored greenery on its banks, a complete reversal from its polluted past.
