The Issue

KBR National Park in Hyderabad serves as a critical urban green lung, providing reprieve from the bustling city life while maintaining a delicate ecological balance. Situated in the heart of the city, KBR Park is not only a sanctuary for countless species of wildlife but also a beloved recreational space for Hyderabad's residents. However, recent plans to build flyovers around the area threaten to reduce the park's size, putting immense pressure on its ecosystem.

The proposed infrastructure development ostensibly aims to solve traffic congestion in the city. Yet, the construction of these flyovers could have irrevocable consequences on the PARK and its surroundings. The park is home to a variety of flora and fauna, including endangered species of birds, mammals, and reptiles. The diminishing green space jeopardizes these vulnerable species, increasing the risk of habitat destruction, fragmentation, and even extinction.

Moreover, KBR Park plays a crucial role in combating air pollution in Hyderabad. It acts as a carbon sink, absorbing CO2 and releasing oxygen, thus maintaining air quality and offering health benefits. Cutting down trees and reducing the park's size could escalate pollution levels, exacerbating respiratory and cardiovascular diseases among the local population. Preserving this green space is vital for the wellbeing of both the environment and the people of Hyderabad.

Alternative solutions to address traffic woes exist. Instead of sacrificing a pivotal ecological zone, we should invest in improving public transportation systems or seek less invasive infrastructure alternatives that coexist with nature. Expanding public transit would not only ease traffic but also reduce vehicular emissions, creating a more sustainable urban landscape.

We urge the authorities to reconsider the plan to build flyovers at the expense of KBR Park. Let's prioritize environmental conservation and make sustainable choices that ensure the prosperity of future generations. By signing this petition, you join us in safeguarding a vital part of Hyderabad's natural heritage. Please sign and share this petition to help us preserve KBR Park for the wildlife that depends on it and for the citizens who cherish it.
