Kancha Gachibowli
Context
Kancha Gachibowli, a 400-acre parcel of land, is once again at the heart of a controversy in Telangana’s capital Hyderabad.
About Kancha Gachibowli
- Kancha Gachibowli is home to over 700 plant species, including thousands of trees and shrubs that act as the city's green lungs.
- The land is undisturbed for over 20 years, developing into a rich natural habitat. It hosts:
- 237 bird species – more than Kasu Brahmananda Reddy (KBR) and Mrugavani National Parks.
- Murricia hyderabadensis – a unique, endemic spider species found only here.
- Wild animals such as spotted deer, wild boars, Indian star tortoises, monitor lizards, and snakes like the Indian rock python.
- 27 bird species under Schedule-I of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972.
- 3 reptile species and 72 species of trees.
- The area also features two lakes—Peacock Lake and Buffalo Lake.
- Kancha Gachibowli falls under the western part of Hyderabad, an area well-known owing to the presence of the city’s financial district, a concrete jungle with little green space left.
