On the occasion of “World Environment Day 2021” TERRE Policy Centre was in collaboration with Persistent Foundation and planted 1600 indigenous trees in the SRPF Group 1 campus, Ramtekdi, Pune. On 7th June 2021 inauguration of the plantation was done by IPS Ms Niva Jain, DYSP Mr. Khedekar and Mr Chandgude at this plantation site. TERRE planted regular trees like Bamboo, Wad, Pimpal, Karanj, Shishu, Amaltas, Arjun, Kanchan along with fruiting trees like Jackfruit, Badam, Coconut, Kadamb, Tamarind, Bel, Jamun, Cashew.
Here is the month of June and the onset of the rain god.
The trees and plants will bloom with rain showers.
However, we see depletion of groundwater storage. The heavy development around us like the cement roads, tiles and construction activities does not help water to percolate in the ground.
We desperately need to plan the storage of water in the ground with help of tanks and seepage.
This will increase the level of groundwater reserves. The rivers, wells and small water reservoirs will have adequate supply.
Harvest water! Conserve life on Earth!
Being as a Project Partner TERRE Policy Centre team was invited at Nagenahiru Centre for Environment Education at Godahena, Ambalangoda, Sri Lanka for Regional Forum form 4th Feb to 9th Feb 2024.
