The Impact
The Titan Time Park is already showing a positive impact on soil health, air quality and temperature. Third-party verification of soil tests inside the forest shows a 40% increase in organic carbon, 24% increase in available phosphorus, and a 37% increase in available manganese compared to outside the forest.
Additionally, there is an 8% increase in water holding capacity, which contributes to better plant growth. The forest’s diverse range of plant species results in soil organic matter and nutrient cycling, creating a fertile base for native species to flourish. The park’s diverse directory of flora thoughtfully includes endangered species of trees like Kari Muruthu (Terminalia Crenulata Roth) and Bahera (Terminalia Bellirica).
Titan’s project partner from Biotasoil, Senthil says, “Through this initiative, air quality has improved with reduced particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide levels and a decrease in noise levels. The temperature in the forest is also three degrees cooler than outside, and there is a marked increase in the number of birds and butterflies in the area.”
NE Sridhar concludes by saying, “These forests exemplify Titan’s vision of an inclusive world, one where society thrives economically and sustainably.” As we watch the children play in the forest, laughing and chasing butterflies, it occurs to us to that the environment’s future is entirely in our own hands.
