While AWF focuses on corporates, individuals who want to contribute even one tree can do so through Aadivasi.org. This platform allows eco-conscious individuals to plant a tree online, track it via geotagged data, and receive a certificate confirming their contribution.
Why Tree Gifting Matters
Gifting trees goes beyond symbolism; it creates measurable environmental and social impact:
· Carbon Offset & Climate Change Mitigation: Trees planted through AWF absorb carbon dioxide, contributing to carbon sequestration and helping corporates meet sustainability targets.
· Biodiversity India & Habitat Restoration: Plantations support local flora and fauna, promoting ecosystem restoration and improving biodiversity.
· Rural Livelihood Support: Many AWF plantations engage local communities and farmers, providing rural livelihood support and empowering women through agroforestry and plantation initiatives.
· Sustainable CSR Impact: By linking contributions to detailed impact assessment reports, companies can demonstrate a real, measurable commitment to environmental CSR India.
