Deforestation is a major global problem, with about 10 million hectares of forest lost each year due to logging, farming, and development. This loss leads to reduced biodiversity, altered water cycles, and increased carbon emissions, which worsen climate change and result in more extreme weather events. The destruction of forests also threatens many species and disrupts the lives of people who depend on these ecosystems.

Sankalp Taru is an NGO in India focused on fighting deforestation and promoting sustainability. They plant trees across the country, using technology like blockchain and IoT to monitor and maintain their projects. Recognized by organisations such as the World Economic Forum and the UN, Sankalp Taru is leading the way in innovative environmental solutions.

Sankalp Taru combats deforestation through extensive tree-planting programs in both rural and urban areas. They have planted over 7 milliontrees, helping to offset carbon emissions and boost biodiversity. By involving local communities and farmers, they restore degraded lands and create sustainable livelihoods. Their use of IoT devices ensures the health of each tree, maximising their impact in the fight against deforestation
