The Madras High Court, in 2016, passed an interim order clearing removal of these trees as they were depleting the water table in areas already struggling for water. Prof CR Babu, ecologist, who had headed the removal of Kikar trees from Aravalli Biodiversity Park, said, "It is crucial to replace the Kikar tree plantation from the Central Ridge where its numbers are very high. The Delhi government recently gave its nod to clearing the Central Ridge of the non-native tree in the hope that the area’s original flora — which are called the lungs of the city — as well as fauna can be restored.Vilayati kikar and its weedlike properties — fast growth in arid conditions, killing any competition and water-table depletion —have been documented by several scientists and activists in Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, Gujarat, as well as Tamil Nadu, where it is called karuvelam and is used as firewood. In 2017, the court started monitoring the removal of the kikar.Delhi’s fight against the tree gained ground in the 1990s with court cases, representations to government, and research papers. It takes away the entire sunlight not allowing other trees to grow and since its rooted 21 meters in the ground, it fast depletes the water table."

The traditional tooth brush for Indians, Babul – also known as Kikar or Vachellia Nilotica or Acacia Nilotica – is quite a common tree in these parts of the country.

This cuts the tree’s capability to produce food and it starts to wither. They quickly spread across the foliage and cut off the tree’s access to light, slowly killing it,” a senior forest department official said.Replacing the vilayati kikar, a crucial part of the project, will have to be a scientific exercise to make sure Delhi gets the Ridge of the early 1900s. The leopard stayed for close to a month.

Leopards only stay in an area for long if they find a suitable habitat — enough prey, water resources and some anonymity.While the leopard was shifted out, the biodiversity remains — something CEMDE hopes can be replicated on the Ridge.

Kikar comes in handy as fire wood, timber, fencing and hedges, thanks to its prickly character, paper production, and also as gum.The gum Arabic is used in printing, dyeing, paints and is marketed as Amravati gum in India.Acacia Nilotica is quite a hit in the tanning industry, as the byproduct from felling the bark has high levels of tannin.While the tree can be planted for ornamental purposes, it finds great use in agroforestry, as a ‘shelterbelt’ around fields. Work started on developing the Yamuna Biodiversity Park in Wazirabad in 2002.

FY-kus or FIK-us-- from the Latin for fig. We will plant the saplings when they are 3 to 6 feet tall to give them a good chance of survival,” Babu said.Sourcing the saplings is another challenge. Sanskrit synonyms.

The traditional tooth brush for Indians, Babul – also known as Kikar or Vachellia Nilotica or Acacia Nilotica – is quite a common tree in these parts of the country.A thorny tree, Babul shoots up to a height to 12 meters and flaunts small yellow round nectar- less flowers. Its most famous visitor, perhaps, was a young leopard that was spotted in November 2016.For the scientists who run the park, it was a sign that what they had set out to do was being achieved. Along with the trees disappeared the fauna — birds, butterflies, leopards, porcupines and jackals.Cutting down vilayati kikar and waiting for the other plants to grow is a counterproductive move for two reasons.

Spread over 457 acres, the park is home to native tree, shrub, and creeper species, and houses several small water-bodies and boasts a healthy water table. Some of these have a canopy that is three storeys tall and will dwarf any remaining kikars when full-grown. The transformation of the Yamuna Biodiversity Park in Wazirabad, however, is what gave the forest department faith that the plan could work.According to C R Babu, who heads the Centre for Environmental Management of Degraded Ecosystems (CEMDE), the organisation that will conduct the first phase of the removal over 100 acres between Dhaula Kuan and Chanakyapuri, the tree was brought to Delhi by the British in the early 1930s.
