Vanachar has initiated a green campaign in the Himachal and is dedicated to the sustainable development of the region. Nature has blessed Himachal Pradesh with heavenly beauty. However, this Himalayan region has been greatly affected by landslides and floods, leaving nothing but destruction and devastation in its wake.
Vanachar initiated Project Protect Himachal Pradesh in this region to rehabilitate the flora and fauna of Himalayan villages by motivating communities and students for tree plantation and generating a self-sustainable eco-system.
Through this project, highly vulnerable degraded lands are being restored, including forestland, degraded community land, and degraded and abandoned private lands in the Mid-Himalayan watershed. The productive potential of these degraded lands and watershed catchment areas is improving as a result of the enhancement of biomass production and carbon stocks. In addition, the project activities are promoting biodiversity conservation, soil conservation and environmental protection through planting and protection of native tree species, reduction in soil erosion, and prevention of downstream siltation of water bodies.
