Authorities Uses Geo-Tagging To Conserve Kashmir's Iconic Chinar Trees

Workers sort QR code-based GIS plates, a geo-tagging process, before installing them on oriental plane trees, locally known as Chinar, at the Mughal Garden in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on January 23, 2025. Authorities in Kashmir geo-tag thousands of 'Chinar' trees to create a comprehensive database for their management and conservation, as they face threats from rising urbanization, road-widening projects, and diseases. These trees hold significant cultural and ecological value in the Kashmir Valley. (Photo by Firdous Nazir/NurPhoto)
