Vanachar Welfare of Flora and Fauna Foundation

Vanachar has launched a green campaign in Himachal Pradesh, aiming for the sustainable development of the region amidst the challenges posed by landslides and floods. Their Project Protect Himachal Pradesh focuses on rehabilitating the flora and fauna of Himalayan villages by engaging communities and students in tree plantation activities. By targeting highly vulnerable degraded lands, including forestland and abandoned private lands, the project aims to restore biodiversity, enhance biomass production, and improve carbon stocks. Additionally, it addresses soil erosion, promotes environmental protection, and mitigates downstream siltation of water bodies through the planting and protection of native tree species.

The Aravali Biodiversity Park (ABDP) stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts of citizens, the Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon (MCG), schools, and corporate entities, aiming to restore the native flora and fauna of the Aravalli Range. Once a depleted mining site, the land underwent extensive rehabilitation efforts led by iamgurgaon, leveraging a pioneering public-private partnership model. Reclaiming 350 acres of land owned by the MCG, the park now serves as a vibrant ecosystem, showcasing the successful restoration of habitat and biodiversity in Gurgaon's urban landscape.

The entire Himalayan belt including Shivalik hills act as the lungs to the Country and attract tourist from all over. These hills helps to reduce carbon footprints and green house emission, through the forest cover and also reverses the climate change due to air and water pollution being witnessed by rapid industrialization of the country.
We conducted afforestation drive in and around Nahan Region for ban oak trees which is intended to have a drastic positive effect on the health of the people, plant and animals living in the region. In addition to aiding local flora and fauna , the plantation will positively impact the lives of local villagers and tribes, women and their domestic cattle during winter season, since these tree provide fodder for cattle throughout the year.

The State of Rajasthan and the central government are promoting afforestation drive along the Aravali hills to develop wildlife corridors and to facilitate free and inhibited movement of wildlife from one reserved forest to another. This is targeted to avoid man animal conflict and to ensure that wild animals do not trespass urban areas and cause damage to life and property to human civilisation around adjoining these forests. In this case from Sariska wildlife santuary to Ranthambore wildlife santuary.

Afforestation drive in and around Aravali will have a drastic positive effect on the wellbeing of the people, plant and animals in the region.
