Why We Plant trees ?
To save the evergreen forests. Only 7% of the planet’s land area consists of evergreen forests. But they contribute a significant percentage of the oxygen turnover on the planet. If we do not produce the timber required for human consumption in cultivable land areas, we will be forced to cut trees from the evergreen forests.
Why plant trees in India ?
Trees do sequester carbon dioxide everywhere, but it is a lesser known fact that trees are more likely to trap heat in in upper latitudes. If trees are planted around the earth's equator, they are much more efficient at combating climate change. In fact, planting too many trees in mid or high latitude locations may actually increase global warming as the benefits of carbon sequestration are offset by the heat-trapping effect close to ground level.
India’s temperate climate makes it an ideal place for carbon sequestration to have a positive impact on environment. Besides, the cost of planting trees in India is far lower than in many other countries. Most of the population is from a direct farming background and consequently also own part of the land. Thus the survival of trees is ensured.

Did you know that we only have 40-60 years left before soil extinction?
Save Soil is a Global Movement to invoke a conscious approach to soil and planet in all. The mission is to address the soil crisis by bringing together people from around the world to stand up for Soil Health, and supporting leaders of all nations to institute national policies and actions toward increasing the organic content in cultivable Soil.
Soil health is directly related to the soil microbe population
