Planting for Purpose

By planting bamboo strategically in degraded areas, we enhance groundwater recharge, retain soil moisture, and revive local water bodies, ensuring a sustainable water supply.

Bamboo is a sustainable resource for Bangalore's water scarcity because its rapid growth and deep roots efficiently recharge groundwater, retain moisture, and help revive the local water cycle.

Bamboo supports biodiversity by providing a habitat for various species, stabilizing ecosystems, and promoting the growth of surrounding flora, thus enhancing overall ecological health.

Bamboo offers environmental protection by absorbing large amounts of carbon dioxide, preventing soil erosion, and restoring degraded lands, making it a powerful ally in combating climate change.
