Increasing green cover is essential for mitigating climate change, conserving biodiversity, and ensuring the long-term health and resilience of ecosystems. One effective way to achieve this is by promoting native species plantation through different methods, including terrestrial plantation, Miyawaki plantation, mangrove plantation, and other types of forestation. Native species are best adapted to the local climate and ecosystem, and their plantation can help restore degraded lands, promote ecosystem services, and support biodiversity conservation.
Selecting plant species that are native to the local ecosystem and well-suited to the climate, soil, and topography.
Planting native species on degraded or barren lands using afforestation, reforestation, and agroforestry.
Using the Miyawaki method to plant multiple native species together for dense, diverse forests.
Planting mangroves in coastal areas to restore forests and protect shorelines.
Planting native species in urban forests, peri-urban areas, and forest corridors.
Planting native species on degraded lands using afforestation.
Creating dense, diverse native forests using the Miyawaki method.
Restoring mangrove forests to protect shorelines and ecosystems.
Enhancing urban green cover with native species in cities.
Promoting native species in peri-urban areas for biodiversity.
Connecting fragmented forests to promote wildlife movement.
Integrating native species into farmlands for soil health.
Incorporating native trees into grazing lands for sustainability.
Limited land due to competing demands like agriculture and urbanization.
Alters species suitability and affects plantation success rates.
Non-native species outcompete natives, reducing survival.
Advocating for strong policies to support native species conservation.
Involving locals in plantation planning and implementation.
Improving success through scientific research and collaborations.
Helps absorb carbon dioxide, mitigating climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Restores biodiversity by providing habitat for native plants and animals.
Stabilizes soil, reducing sedimentation and preventing erosion.
Regulates the water cycle for better water availability and ecosystem services.
The Sahyog Foundation aligns with international environmental sustainability frameworks, including:
We support the Paris Agreement for forest conservation, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Forest Restoration Initiative, and the Trillion Tree Campaign.
Through these efforts, Sahyog Foundation is committed to creating a greener, more sustainable future for all by promoting native species plantation and ecosystem restoration.
