365Telugu.com online news,Hyderabad, June 5, 2025:Marking World Environment Day, Forests by Heartfulness (FBH) has renewed its pledge to transform India’s landscapes through large-scale, sustainable afforestation. The initiative now targets planting 30 million trees by 2030, cementing its role as a pioneer in environmental restoration across India.
In the next year alone, FBH plans to plant 3.5 lakh trees over 650 hectares, each tree symbolically dedicated to one’s mother- the first Guru. The campaign will begin with the Deputy CM planting the first tree in memory of Smt. Shantaben, mother of Rev. Daaji, the global guide of Heartfulness.
A Science-Based, Spiritually Rooted Green Model
India has lost over 2.19 million hectares of tree cover since 2000, sparking ecological crises. In response, FBH’s afforestation model goes beyond tree planting-it restores biodiversity, improves soil health, engages communities, and reconnects people with nature.
So far, FBH has:
Planted over 3 million trees on 10,000+ acres in 12 states
Conserved 80+ endangered species with a 90% plant survival rate
Established 20 native nurseries housing 6 million saplings from 330 species
According to Dr. V. Ramakantha, Retd. IFS and FBH Chairman, “We combine ancient wisdom with ecological science. Our forests are more than carbon sinks — they are ecosystems of healing, learning, and balance.”
