Urban forestation is the process of planting and maintaining trees and greenery
in urban areas. It provides a wide range of benefits, including improved air and
water quality, reduced heat island effect, and enhanced biodiversity. However,
there are challenges to overcome, including the lack of available space in urban
areas and limited access to water. To address these challenges, cities can
prioritize the planting of trees and greenery in public spaces, promote green
infrastructure, and develop green roofs and walls. Ultimately, urban forestation
is a critical solution to building green cities that are environmentally sustainable
and healthy for people.
In collaboration with multiple organisations and corporates, EK Saath has successfully planted and
nurtured more than 1000 native trees in various parts of the city.
