Ahmedabad’s extensive tree census, launched earlier this year across 48 wards, has counted more than 12 lakh trees in eight months. The survey includes trees with a minimum girth of 10 cm or a height of at least three meters. Officials said the census will continue for another four months before the city’s final tree tally is confirmed.

The last such census was conducted in 2011, when Ahmedabad recorded 6.18 lakh trees and a green cover of 4.62%. After 14 years, the task has been reassigned to the agency SARS India, which has so far documented 12,07,967 trees as of November 25.

The data indicates growing green coverage in key wards, with Navrangpura emerging as one of the city's greener zones.
