Asia: Plant native trees in Meghalaya, India
Asia: Plant native trees in Meghalaya, India
Sadhana Forest’s work in Meghalaya focuses on the restoration of degraded lands and empowering local communities through sustainable practices. Since 2020, Sadhana Forest has implemented its model in 25 villages across the state, with activities centered in the Khasi Hills, Garo Hills, and Jaintia Hills. These projects are designed to reforest the area using indigenous, food-producing species, including oxalogenic trees, which help sequester carbon and improve soil fertility.

Our planting partners
We facilitate our tree planting through reputable, environmentally responsible organizations dedicated to fighting deforestation and extreme poverty. They employ local communities to plant native trees, restoring ecosystems and providing livelihoods for millions.
Why plant trees?
Trees are the earth's lungs
producing approximately 20% of the oxygen we breathe. A mature tree can produce enough oxygen for up to four people per day.
Trees absorb CO2
a major contributor to climate change. A single mature tree can absorb around 48 pounds of CO2 annually. For example, a hectare of forest can sequester up to 30 tons of CO2 per year.
Trees provide habitats
for a wide range of species. The Amazon rainforest houses about 10% of the world's known species.
Trees prevent soil erosion
by binding soil together. In regions like the Loess Plateau in China, tree planting initiatives have reduced soil erosion by up to 90%.
Trees regulate water cycle
The Amazon rainforest, for example, releases water vapor through transpiration, which contributes to rainfall patterns across South America.
