Benefits of our Projects The fruit, non-timber forest produce and fodder from
our projects are used by rural communities in the
area, a vast majority of whom live below the poverty
line, and really helps them augment their income
and conserve their disposable income. In our project
in the Panchmahal district of Gujarat, 40% of the
communities’ disposable income is spent procuring
cooking fuel which can be substituted with fallen
twigs and branches.
Several of our projects are in tiger reserves and
wildlife sanctuaries, which restore degraded areas in
the periphery of the sanctuaries and help prevent
man-animal conflict.
The trees planted are all indigenous and include
species like Custard Apple, Amla, Khair, Neem and
Black Siris to maintain the biodiversity of the area.
