Tree Plantation
- Project Status: Ongoing
Why Tree Plantation ?
India urgently needs tree plantation, environmental conservation, and climate change action to combat escalating ecological challenges. Forest cover in India has dwindled, with a 2021 report showing a mere 24.62% of land area under forests, below the recommended 33% . Tree plantations can significantly improve air quality by absorbing pollutants and releasing oxygen.
Moreover, India is highly vulnerable to climate change impacts, experiencing extreme weather events such as floods, droughts, and heatwaves. In 2020 alone, 76% of India’s districts were hit by climate-related disasters . Immediate and sustained action in tree plantation and environmental conservation is essential to safeguard India’s future.
Bharatiya Jana Seva Mission is a premier Indian NGO spearheading impactful tree plantation programs in Kolkata and across most districts of West Bengal. Dedicated to conducting awareness program on Tree Plantation , habitat restoration and community engagement initiatives , we are committed to nurturing a greener, healthier future through our large-scale reforestation initiatives.
