THE CHALLENGE

Why Reforestation Matters

India's forests are under pressure from all sides. The consequences β€” for climate, biodiversity, and communities β€” are already visible and deepening.

🌲
21.71%
India's current forest cover β€” far below the 33% target set by the National Forest Policy
πŸ”₯
1.5 M ha
Forest lost in India over the past decade due to development and land-use change
🌫️
14th
India ranks 14th globally in COβ‚‚ emissions; trees are our most cost-effective carbon sink
🌿
5,000+
Plant species threatened in India due to habitat destruction and deforestation

PROGRAMS

How We Grow the Green

πŸ™οΈ

Urban Afforestation

Creating green corridors in cities β€” parks, roadsides, school gardens, and residential complexes β€” to fight urban heat islands and improve air quality.

🌱 42,000 Urban Trees
🌳

Rural Reforestation

Large-scale plantation on degraded forest land and barren hills using native species suited to local ecology.

🌱 800+ Hectares
🌿

Miyawaki Mini-Forests

Dense, fast-growing native forests using the Japanese Miyawaki technique β€” 10Γ— faster growth and 30Γ— denser than conventional plantation.

🌱 28 Miyawaki Forests
πŸ‹

Fruit Tree Orchards

Planting productive fruit trees (Mango, Guava, Amla, Jamun) for food security, nutrition, and supplemental farmer income.

🌱 15,000 Fruit Trees
🌊

Coastal & Mangrove Restoration

Restoring mangrove ecosystems along Tamil Nadu's coast for storm protection, carbon sequestration, and marine biodiversity.

🌱 8,500 Mangroves
🏫

School Green Campus

Transforming school grounds into living green classrooms β€” fruit trees, herb gardens, native flowering plants.

🌱 65 Schools Greened

Technology & Innovation

πŸ“

GPS Geotagging

Every sapling is GPS-tagged at planting. Digital records track individual tree health, growth, and survival β€” making our data independently verifiable.

πŸ’§

Drip Irrigation

Water-efficient drip systems ensure sapling survival in water-scarce areas, cutting water use by 60% vs conventional watering.

πŸ“±

Mobile App

Participants can track the trees they planted, receive growth photo updates, and get notified about new drives nearby.

🚁

Drone Monitoring

Quarterly drone surveys give us aerial canopy health assessments and allow early detection of disease, pests, or encroachment.

🀝

Community Guardians

Local community members trained as forest guardians β€” generating sustainable livelihoods while ensuring protection and maintenance.

DONATE

Plant Your Legacy

Every contribution plants real trees in the ground β€” geotagged, monitored, and reported back to you.
