    The document discusses environmental initiatives at Lavasa that included watershed management, mass plantation of over 6 lakh indigenous plants, mass seeding of over 500 acres, plantation of local shrubs and stumps, fertigation to enhance soil quality, soil bioengineering for slope protection, and regular monitoring of environment parameters. Satellite images and vegetation mapping show that from 2002 to 2010, there was a reduction in barren land and an increase in dense vegetation and green slopes due to these biodiversity enhancement measures.
