The Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) will use a dedicated mobile app to track the health and carbon absorption of trees in its parks. The 'Carbon Sequestration Assessment Tool', soon available on Google Play Store, will record species, age and trunk diameter. As a pilot, 20 garden officers will upload data from LDA parks. The exercise aims to create a scientific database and identify areas needing better maintenance. The LDA plans to use the data to explore carbon-credit generation, turning its green spaces into measurable environmental assets and a potential revenue source for future projects.
