415,000 mangrove trees planted in India!🌱🙌🎉 These native tree species were planted to restore 7.74 hectares of land in the Sundarbans of West Bengal. India is a vast land full of contrasts. Moist and dry tropical forests, temperate, subtropical, montane, alpine and mangrove forests are all found here. It is recognized as one of the 17 “megadiverse” countries, containing 8% of the world's flora and fauna, including species like Bengal Tigers. Additionally, India's forests support the livelihoods of almost 275 million people, who depend on them for food, fuelwood, fodder and other forest products. India has lost 40% of its natural forest cover in the last 95 years. Driven by mining, agriculture and urbanization, this profound forest loss can be remedied by reforestation. Trees actively help mitigate climate change through carbon sequestration. India suffers some of the worst air quality in the world; planting trees here is particularly useful in filtering and improving air quality. Restoring forests will improve the lives of millions of local communities. #india #reforestation #environment #nature #trees #treestagram #mangrove #mangroves #mangrovetrees #climateaction #generationrestoration #climatecrisis #treestreestrees #naturelover #indiapictures #indiatravelgram #sunderbans #indiagram #indialove
