Mumbai Infrastructure Projects Affect Trees and Mangroves with Mitigation Plans
Two infrastructure projects in Mumbai—the Goregaon-Mulund Link Road Phase 4 flyover and the Coastal Road North project—may impact local trees and mangroves. The GMLR Phase 4 flyover could affect over 400 trees, including 187 mangroves, in ecologically sensitive coastal zones, with compensatory afforestation planned elsewhere. Meanwhile, about 100 trees removed for the Coastal Road North project in Charkop will be replanted locally to preserve green cover and urban wildlife habitats, following efforts by environmental activists and officials.
