<h1>Community-Led River Rejuvenation Project Boosts Ecology, Farming, and Climate Resilience with 5 Lakh+ Saplings Planted</h1> A social organization initiated a river rejuvenation project in a drought-prone region, expanding it into a comprehensive ecological mission involving water conservation, plantation drives, natural farming, and climate-resilient fodder cultivation. The project has planted over 5 lakh saplings, including native and medicinal species, to restore biodiversity and support local farmers' incomes. Recent efforts focus on fodder cultivation to enhance livestock health amid climate change challenges, supported by irrigation and soil conservation measures. Collaborations with academic institutions, government bodies, and corporate partners have formalized through memoranda of understanding to scale plantation and ecological restoration activities. The project emphasizes natural regeneration processes involving pollinators and wildlife, creating sustainable ecosystems with high plant survival rates. Community mobilization and model farms demonstrate replicable sustainable agricultural practices, contributing to rural development and environmental resilience. The initiative integrates traditional knowledge and scientific collaboration to promote long-term ecological balance and socio-economic upliftment in the region.
