Urban Planting
India is projected to have 53% of the national population as urban population by addition of 416 million urban dwellers by the year 2050. 9 of the 10 most polluted cities are in India. Urban planting offers a unique solution to increasing temperatures, loss of green cover and worsening air pollution.
SGIF has planted more than 5000 trees in various cities to create micro forests that are planted and maintained by the community and SGIF in partnership. The use of native trees and the right planting and nurturing techniques have shown very encouraging results. The soil health including moisture content shows a marked improvement.
