Ekatra - Reimagining Urban Greening through Native Species
In collaboration with AmdaVadmA at Centre for Environment Education (CEE), Project Green Dream by Global Shapers Community - Ahmedabad Hub, is bringing people together to rethink how our city grows! 💚
We plant with good intentions, but how often do we ask ourselves: What should actually grow here?
Ahmedabad's rapid urban growth has created an ecological deficit, with native biodiversity disappearing from public and private spaces. Through field research and conversations with experts, we're building something to help our city make more informed choices about its ecology.
Join us as we launch Ekatra - our digital open-source repository of ecology in and around Ahmedabad, and explore how we can restore our city's relationship with nature. 🌳
Here's the flow of the event:
4:00–4:15 PM: Welcome Address
4:15–5:15 PM: Panel Discussion on "How to Know What to Grow?"
5:15–5:30 PM: Ekatra Launch
5:30 - 5:55 PM: Way Forward
6:00–6:30 PM: Citizen-driven Activity & Informal Networking
If you get excited about plants, trees, ecology, indigenous knowledge systems, and more, join us to exchange ideas and explore approaches towards restoring our planetary health.
For any queries, feel free to contact us at 9879490201 / 6354740486 or agsprojectgreendream@gmail.com.
We'd love to have you be part of this conversation! 🐝💚
