WWF India and Sri Ram Chandra Mission join hands to adopt 50,000 trees in Hyderabad

Hyderabad : WWF India, Hyderabad Office, on Monday announced its initiative with Heartfulness Institute to adopt 50,000 trees at Kanha Shantivanam, the global headquarters of Heartfulness in Hyderabad.
This initiative is part of WWF India’s Sustainable Trees program and Heartfulness’s Green Kanha mission.
Under this program, WWF India is funding the maintenance and growth of these trees along with monitoring the progress of plantation.
WWF-India’s Sustainable Trees campaign is an initiative to plant native indigenous tree species across India involving school and college students, grassroots organisations and concerned citizens.
The plantation is planned over two seasons and a majority of the trees have already been planted and the remaining to be planted by the end of August 2021.
The State Director, (WWF India, Hyderabad Office) Ms. Farida Tampal, geo tagged the plantation area. Geo-tagging of plantation zones will help keep track of the progress of the expanding green cover by using satellite imagery.
In a release while commenting on the collaboration, Ms. Farida Tampal, State Director, WWF India, said, “With an aim to carry out plantation of 1 million of native plant species across India and ensure their survival through key partnerships, WWF India has engaged in several initiatives to not only spread awareness but also directly contribute towards increasing the green footprint.
We are delighted to partner with Heartfulness for our Sustainable Tree initiative and have committed to this collaboration to increase lung space, she added.
Commenting on the occasion, Daaji, Guide of Heartfulness said, our collaboration with WWF India motivates us to continue our efforts towards the green cause and should inspire other similar organisations and corporates to focus towards increasing the green cover and we encourage them to partner with us towards that end.
