Chandrababu Naidu Commends TTD for Achieving Nearly 90% Forest Cover in Tirumala Hills

The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) has reported that it has achieved a green cover rate of 89.40% in the Seshachalam Hills, an area known for its diverse flora and fauna. This milestone reflects the organizations ongoing commitment to environmental conservation and restoration of native species in the region.

In a recent statement, the Chief Minister praised the TTDs efforts to protect the forest ecosystem, highlighting the significance of preserving biodiversity and promoting sustainability in the area. The Chief Minister emphasized that initiatives like these not only bolster the ecological stability of the region but also support the livelihoods of local communities that depend on these natural resources.

The Seshachalam Hills, which are part of the Eastern Ghats, are recognized for their rich biodiversity and are home to several endemic and endangered species. Efforts to reforest and restore native species in this area are critical to maintaining ecological balance and enhancing climate resilience. The TTD’s initiatives include extensive afforestation drives, propagation of indigenous plant species, and soil conservation measures, which have significantly contributed to the remarkable increase in green cover.

As the region continues to face challenges such as deforestation and climate change, the TTD’s commitment to enhancing forest wealth will be vital in ensuring long-term ecological health and sustainability in the Seshachalam Hills.
