SDG
This project involves the plantation of 20,000 trees in the 2017 monsoon. The project area is located in the Papagni River basin and stretches across the semi-arid district of Chittoor in Southern Andhra Pradesh. The area is located at the tri-junction of the Deccan Plateau, the Eastern Ghats, and Western Ghats, the area peculiarly exhibits ecological features of all three. It is marked by broken hill ranges and forest lands on the ridges, revenue wastelands and farmlands on the lower slopes, and valleys dotted with numerous irrigation tanks.
This project will plant indigenous species of trees in common lands of villages to give poor rural communities fruit, fodder, fuel and forest produce. The trees will be planted in several hectares of community-protected revenue wastelands of villages Bathinigaripalle, Guttakindapalle, Gonepothulavaripalle, Ramanaikthanda at Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh. The consequent increase in the availability of fodder and improved flow of seepage streams owing to favorable recharge conditions, has spurred collective actions by the local residents

Social Impact of Growing Trees
Community Engagement
Tree planting initiatives often involve local communities, which can lead to greater community cohesion.
Ecological Education
Provides opportunities for community members, especially children, about the importance of environmental sustainability.
Urban Beautification
Trees contribute to the aesthetic enhancement of urban areas, making cities more pleasant and liveable.
Climate Resilience
By improving green cover, tree planting helps make communities more resilient against climate impacts like heatwaves.
Employment Creation
Planting trees creates employment for local community members like planting and maintenance, administrative roles, and more long-term jobs in management.
Wildlife Habitat
Trees provide critical habitats for various species of wildlife. Enhancing tree cover helps preserve biodiversity, which can be an ecological boon for local communities
