But not like this.

Dr. Vinita Apte’s team isn’t planting saplings. They’re planting 15-foot indigenous trees with a 95% survival rate, even on barren land.

Each site is surveyed, ponds are dug, irrigation systems are built, and fire protection lines are laid.

It’s not a green PR exercise.

It’s a high-effort, ground-up eco-restoration.

This is what reforestation actually looks like when it’s designed to last.
