Plant A Billion Trees
One sapling at a time, we're restoring degraded landscapes, reviving soil and water, and rebuilding biodiversity across India.
Our PABT Nature pathway focuses on combatting biodiversity loss, replenishing water basins, and planting a billion native trees. We combine traditional ecological knowledge with modern digital sensors to ensure that restoration results in permanent, thriving forests.
What We Are Planting
We drive a mission to plant a billion trees across India — the country's biggest solutionary movement, prioritizing trees over ordinary plants. Our goal is to bring an initiative that helps secure enough food for our country and provides cool shade wherever humidity persists.
Neem
Oxygen BoosterAn evergreen native known for purifying the air and its long history in natural pest control and traditional medicine.
Ganuga
Cool AirA fast-growing, nitrogen-fixing species with a dense canopy that keeps surrounding soil and air noticeably cooler.
Kadamba
ShadeA large, fast-growing canopy tree prized for the wide, dense shade it casts and its fragrant round flowers.
Gulmohar
Bushy & FloweringThe flame tree — known for its brilliant red-orange blossoms that blanket the canopy through summer.
Peltophorum
Bushy & FloweringThe yellow flame tree, valued as a bushy avenue species with bright golden flower clusters.
Tabebuia Rosea
Bushy & FloweringThe pink trumpet tree — its canopy turns a striking pink-lavender when in full bloom.
Begnonea Megapotamica
Bushy & FloweringA vigorous, bushy flowering species with trumpet-shaped blooms that draw pollinators year-round.
Mahogany
Bushy & WoodA tall, straight-trunked hardwood species valued for long-term timber and dense, durable wood.
Millingtonea
Bushy & FloweringThe Indian cork tree — tall and fast-growing, with fragrant white flowers that bloom in the cool season.
Mango Mix
Fruit & BushyA mix of grafted mango varieties chosen for reliable fruiting alongside a full, bushy shade canopy.
Our Core Program Areas
Our ecological framework addresses the landscape level. We expand below the details of each action, which are fully customizable for CSR allocations.
- Deploying Miyawaki ultra-dense native forests to restore biodiversity quickly.
- Developing agroforestry programs with local farmers to integrate cash crops with native tree buffers.
- Implementing digital monitoring, drone tracking, and soil moisture sensors to ensure long-term sapling survival.
- Desilting and widening degraded local lakes and municipal ponds.
- Rejuvenating natural drainage channels to prevent urban flash flooding.
- Establishing local Water User Associations (WUAs) to maintain decentralized watersheds.
- Establishing native seed banks to protect indigenous flora and endangered plant species.
- Re-establishing natural wildlife corridors and ecological buffers in agricultural clusters.
- Implementing community-led monitoring systems to catalog insects, birds, and soil micro-organisms.
- Restoring saline-tolerant coastal mangrove buffers in high-cyclone regions (Sundarbans).
- Conducting community-led waste extraction drives at river mouths and estuaries.
- Deploying local river filters and floating booms to block plastic ingress into coastal areas.
Flagship Nature Projects
Aravalli Green Belt
Rejuvenating degraded ridge land across Rajasthan. We have restored over 3,400 hectares using native seeds and drought-resistant trees.
Coastal Mangrove Revival
Restoring natural bio-shields in the Sundarbans. We work with local women self-help groups to cultivate and plant saline-tolerant mangrove saplings.
