Our land, Our future In Bandhipur, Karnataka, Jeddiah’s team of 20 villagers, has restored over 1000 hectares of degraded forest lands into healthy habitats for wildlife. The activity, supported by the forest department and a local NGO, is a success story of not only harnessing native intelligence but also providing sustainable livelihood to indigenous people. This story shows how baby steps can make a big difference in the long run. As we celebrate the World Environment Day, with special focus on land restoration, desertification and drought resilience, let’s remember that tapping indigenous knowledge for sustainable farming, embracing regional, seasonal food, judicious use of pesticides and fertilisers, reducing wastages that go into land-fills, are imperative measures to preserve soil health. SOIL is the planet’s most biodiverse habitat, housing 60% of all species on earth. Healthy soil acts as a carbon sink, locking in greenhouse gases that help preserve climate Cities consume 75% of the planet’s resources, produce more than 50% of its global waste and generate at least 60% of greenhouse gas emissions. As urban centres expand, it is the responsibility of people living in cities to embrace a more eco-conscious life. While government and non-governmental organisations work at the policy level to bring in positive changes, it is in our hands to make mindful choices every day, for a better tomorrow HAPPY WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY, 2024  #GoGreen #Sustainability

Happy World Environment Day! At CCS Technologies, we believe in harnessing the power of technology to create a greener, more sustainable future for all. Today, on #WorldEnvironmentDay, we're excited to share our commitment to environmental stewardship and innovation. Our Eco-Friendly Initiative: Through partnerships and initiatives, we're actively involved in tree planting projects to combat deforestation and promote biodiversity. In a recent effort, we planted over 200 trees at Trees for Tigers, Simlipal National Park, Odisha, India. Join Us in Making a Difference! Let's unite to protect and preserve our planet on World Environment Day. Together, we can make a positive impact and create a brighter, greener future for generations to come. #CCSTechnologies #Sustainability #Innovation #Environment #GreenTech #WorldEnvironmentDay #Technology #Trees #Planting #Forest #Conserve #ClimateChange #Plants #EnvironmentDay #June5 #Infopark #UAE #USA #India

We are not just planting #trees, we are planting #hope! 🌴 📌 India lost about 1.93 million hectares of tree cover between 2001 and 2020. 📌In July 2022, #UttarPradesh planted over 25 crore trees in a single day. 📌On average, a mature tree produces approximately 260 pounds of oxygen annually. 📌Studies have shown that an acre of mature trees can absorb the amount of CO2 produced by a car driven for 26,000 miles annually. 📌Initiatives like "Van Mahotsav" (Tree Planting Festival) encourage citizens to plant trees and take part in conservation efforts. #environment #afforestation #planting #trees #india #sustainable #sustainability #co2 #oxygen #plantationdrive

Happy Environment Day 2024! This year’s theme, "Land Restoration, Desertification, and Drought Resilience," reminds us of the urgent need to rejuvenate our lands and protect them from degradation. STAUFF India promises to do its part it ensuring the same and continues to promote protection and conservation of the environment.

🌍 Harnessing NBS and AFOLU for India’s Net Zero Future 🌿 As India strides towards its ambitious net zero targets, Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) and the Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector emerge as game-changers in our climate strategy. Why NBS and AFOLU Matter: Carbon Sequestration: NBS, including afforestation, reforestation, and sustainable land management, are vital for absorbing atmospheric CO2. Indian forests and wetlands hold immense potential to help us meet our carbon reduction goals. Biodiversity and Ecosystem Health: Protecting and restoring natural habitats enhances biodiversity, supports wildlife, and ensures the sustainability of our ecosystems. Sustainable Livelihoods: By integrating sustainable agricultural practices and forest management, we support rural communities and create green job opportunities. Resilience Building: Healthy ecosystems improve resilience against climate impacts, such as floods and droughts, ensuring the stability of both natural and human systems. India’s journey to net zero is a collective effort. We must invest in and scale up NBS and AFOLU initiatives, foster partnerships across sectors, and innovate for a greener future. By aligning our strategies with nature’s rhythms, we can achieve our climate goals and secure a sustainable legacy for generations to come. Let’s commit to leveraging the full potential of NBS and AFOLU in our path to net zero. Together, we can transform challenges into opportunities and build a resilient, sustainable India. #NatureBasedSolutions #AFOLU #NetZero #ClimateAction #SustainableDevelopment #India #GreenFuture #Letsconnectfornature #CFBR

𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐃𝐚𝐲 India's rainforests, biodiversity hotspots crucial for climate regulation and clean air, are threatened.

Recently, the Andhra Pradesh Environment and Forest Department authorities cut the bark of an Indian laurel tree in Papikonda National Park to find that the tree stores water in the summer. This knowledge was shared with the Forest department by the Konda Reddi tribe, a Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group (PVTG) inhabiting the Papikonda hill range in the Godavari region, as reported by The Hindu. Traditional Knowledge offers valuable insights and potential climate solutions. Indigenous communities have a deep understanding of their local ecosystems and have developed sustainable land and resource management practices that shall be used to restore degraded lands, protect watersheds, preserve biodiversity, promote ecosystem resilience and mitigate climate change impacts. Check out "Parampara: India's Culture of Climate-Friendly Sustainable Practices by the Ministry of Forest, Environment, and Climate Change (MoEF&CC) and Centre for Environment Education" to learn about the collection of a range of climate-friendly traditions and practices from all across India which promote more sustainable lifestyles, sustainable production and consumption under the themes of solar and wind energy, agriculture, biodiversity, food, health, shelter, textiles and clothing, and water that forms an integral part of social and cultural fabric and lifestyle of India from millenniums.
