Location of Intervention: Nashik District, Maharashtra
Rewilding and plantation of native indigenous trees that support large scale carbon sequestration while simultaneously working on soil and moisture conservation

The Challenges

Climate action faces several significant challenges, many of which are interconnected and complex.

Social Equity : Climate change disproportionately affects marginalized communities, necessitating equitable policies to address their needs and vulnerabilities.

Global Cooperation : Achieving meaningful cooperation among nations is essential, yet challenging due to differing priorities, geopolitical tensions, and historical emissions responsibilities.

Public Awareness and Engagement: Educating the public about climate change and fostering support for sustainable behaviors and policies remain vital for driving collective action.

Natural and Political Disruptions : Climate action efforts can be disrupted by natural disasters, economic downturns, and political instability, requiring resilience and adaptability in the face of challenges.

Our Approach

To breathe a new life into barren landscapes and to foster thriving ecosystems, we focus on integrated approach of afforestation and conservation that can benefit environment and communities.  

Our work towards conservation of biodiversity and ecological restoration is spread over the catchment area of Godavari in Western Ghats which is a very crucial part of the ecosystem. Restoration of this area will not just improve the climate but will have long term positive impacts on soil quality and ground water levels.  

Basis land ownership, we adapt two different models for restoration. 

  1. Food Forest – For the land belonging to tribal farmers
  2. Re-wilded forest – For commons (Forest/Gram Panchayat/Village Land)
