Introduction:-

 Plants and trees are our natural capital. They are fundamental to life
on earth, offering food, medicine and shelter. They also sequester
carbon, fight pollution and bind the soil.
  Trees absorb odours and pollutant gases (nitrogen oxides, ammonia,
sulphur dioxides and ozone) and filter particulates out of the air by
trapping them on their eaves and barks.

 Shade from trees slows water evaporation from thirsty lawns. Most
newly planted trees need only fifteen gallons of water a week. As
trees transpire, they increase atmospheric moisture.

 Trees reduce runoff by breaking rainfall thus allowing the water to

flow down the trunk and into the earth below the tree. This prevents
stormwater from carrying pollutants to the ocean. When mulched,
trees act like a sponge that filters this water naturally and uses it to
recharge groundwater supplies.

 Trees are cost-effective solutions to combat the adverse effects of

climate change, such as extreme heat, droughts, and floods. Trees are
the only piece of infrastructure that gains value over time!

 Trees helps to slow down global warming by reducing co2 in the

atmosphere and introducing more o2. Trees are carbon skins that co2
from the atmosphere via photosynthesis and convert in to biomass.

Problem identification:-

 Nowadays there is a clearance of forests for many reasons such as to

construct buildings, to increase the agricultural land area, to
construct dams and etc.
  The removal of trees of trees without sufficient reforestation has
resulted in habitat damage, biodiversity loss, and aridity.

 About 31% of earth’s land surface is covered by forests at present.

This is one-third less than the forest cover before the expansion of
agriculture, a half of that loss occurring in the last century.

 On average 2400 trees are cut down each minute on the earth.

Cause of problem:-

 Agriculture is the major cause of deforestation .

 Wood extraction for domestic fuel or charcoal and infrastructure

expansion such as road building and urbanisation.

 Mining and industrialisation is also the main cause of deforestation.

Objective to be achieved:-

 One of my initiative is to grow trees which are vital to rains, water,

shade, global warming and cleans air.

 Planting or adopting trees can help safeguard jobs, human health

and essential natural resources for millions of people.

 Plant trees in open areas to spread greenery and improve the soil
quality to be reason for raining.

 Planting trees at road side absorb the emission of co, co2 gases
from the vehicles and helps to filter and gives us oxygen which is
essential for living beings to survive.
Action taken to achieve objective:-

1) Plantation near surroundings:-

 By planting trees, reserve the loss of green cover and attract

birds and buzzing pollinators. They also vastly improve air
quality.

 Planting new trees in an area where there were no trees before

and creating new forest is commonly known as afforestation.

 Afforestation provides other environmental benefits, including

increasing the soil quality and organic carbon levels in the soil,
avoiding erosion and desertification.

 The planting of trees in urban areas is also able to reduce air

pollution via the trees absorption and filtration of pollutants,
including co, so2 and o3 in addition to co2.

2)Sustainable practices:-

 Sustainability in agriculture includes crop rotation, crop cover,

and smart water usage, while sustainability in forestry involves
selective logging and forest management.
  Mining can cause significant environmental damage and
pollution. Recycling metals and minerals instead of discarding
them reduces the amount that needs to be mined.

 Sustainable forestry is the practice of regulating forest resources to

meet the needs of society and industry while preserving the
forest’s health.

 Environmental sustainability is the responsible use of natural

resources to ensure they will be around in the future.

 It is important because the earth is a finite place, with limited

land, water, and wildlife.

Sustainable resource use is the only way to make sure future generations
will have what thy need to survive.

3)Monitoiring deforestation:-

 Effective mapping and monitoring systems are deemed integral to

help companies around the world in eliminating deforestation
from their agricultural production systems and global commodity.
 Spatial data on deforestation and afforestation is typically
collected through satellite data and changes can be monitored
through a satellite land monitoring system.

 Coarse satellite data is used to identify locations for detailed

digital analysis with high resolution satellite images.

 Deforestation rate and total area deforested have been widely used
for monitoring deforestation in many regions.

4)Forest plantation:-

 In order to acquire the world’s demand for wood, it is suggested

that high yielding forest plantations are suitable.

 Plantation forests are intensively managed, composed of one or

two species, even-aged, planted with regular spacing, and
established mainly for productive purposes.

 The purposes of planted forests may include ecosystem

restoration and the protection of the soil and water values.

 Forest plantation will protect local villages from storm damages

and will provide a habitat for local wildlife.
Effectiveness of the project:-

 We have to take a step forward to spread greenery and to protect

wildlife, soil, water and etc. By planting as many trees as
possible.

 We can plant trees in our garden area, just side of the roads, near
the seashores, in open areas and in the school playground area.

 We can also adopt plants same as adopting pet animals and

children and grow them to become mature.

 So, I adopted a plant known as Indian gooseberry or Amla,

scientifically known as Phyllanthus emblica.

 Amla plant has many medicinal uses, and boost our immunity,
aids in weight management, prevent viral infections, is a natural
blood purifier, relieves pain,etc

DAY-30

 I have shown the growth of the plant in 30 days period and i also
took a step forward to plant more trees to spread greenery.
Conclusion:-

 We recognise that one of the most serious issues in the current

state is the devaluation of trees.

 To make our world greener and better, we must pay more

attention to tree planting in the future.

 Individual contributions should be made first.

 We should also put a stop to tree cutting and remember that

without trees, there will be no life.

 The tree is very important in our lives. Everyone should be aware

of the importance of tree planting and should motivate and
encourage others to do the same.

 The solution to catastrophic events like wildfires, floods and

pandemics lies in restoring green cover and restoring the balance
in nature.

 Trees are necessary to our existence as they have furnished us

with two of life’s essentials: food & oxygen.

 Trees gave us timber, paper, firewood, gum, shelter, tools and

medicines etc. They control pollution. They are the greatest
collectors of sun energy.

“The true meaning of life is to plant trees,

under whose shade you do not expect to sit.”
