Data & sources
Darker green means more recorded trees, not more tree cover. The census doesn’t include every tree in Bengaluru, so grey areas mean no records, not no trees.
Area names and outlines come from DataMeet’s 2012 Bangalore maps. They aren’t current boundaries and don’t always line up with census locations. Trees stay grouped as they were in the census.
Species names come from the census; “Others” means unidentified. Photos show examples of each species, not the surveyed trees. Credits are listed with each photo.
