Project Location:
Plantation of local tree species in this location
Project Aim
The tree species planted here include Bamboo (Dendrocalamus strictus), Asana (Terminalia tomantosa), Mahanimba (Azadirachra indica), Jamun (Sysygium cumini), Leucaena leucocephala, Karanja (Pongamia pinnata), Jafra (Bixa orellana), Imli (Tamarindus indica), Panasa (Artocarpus heterophyllus)
The animals found here include the elephant, bear, wild boar, porcupine, jungle fowl, hare, mouse deer and small Indian mongoose.
The avian species found here include the weaver bird, blue jay, common grey hornbill, blue-legged quail, woodpecker, cuckoo, crow pheasant, Malabar pied hornbill and parakeet; the short-nosed fruit bat also is found here.
The state has a scheduled tribe population of 9,590,756, the third highest amongst all states in India (census 2011). The Bhumia, Bhatra, Gond, Koya, Paraja, Kondh constitute above one hundred thousand each, while the population of 26 tribes is just around 1000 each (Dr Debashis Patra, Orissa Review, December 2011).
The plantation will create 2000+ workdays of jobs in the nursery and planting activities alone. These trees will provide flowers, fruit, fodder and fuel to rural communities and living creatures, prevent soil erosion, improve water catchment, generate oxygen, reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, fight climate change, and benefit the tribal communities. The saplings planted will provide sustainable livelihood opportunities to the people of the area as the regeneration of the saplings will continue ensuring a steady supply of forest resources to the community.
A study by P.L. Bisoyi from the S. B. Patil Institute of Management, Nigidi, Pune, India, in his article, ‘Economic dependence of tribal on forest: a case study in the Ganjam District of Orissa’, mentions that every part of a tree-like roots, fruits, flower, tubers, barks etc are used by the people and they form the major income source for the people of the region.

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
