Our project aims to empower the Irula tribe in Tamil Nadu through tree planting initiatives. The Irulas, one of the earliest inhabitants of the Indian subcontinent, face significant socioeconomic challenges as a semi-nomadic, landless community with limited access to education and resources. These vulnerabilities leave them exposed to weather disasters. By creating employment opportunities, enhancing biodiversity, and improving their environment,

Descrição do projeto

The Irular tribes, indigenous people living in Tamil Nadu, have traditionally relied on natural resources for their survival. However, they face numerous challenges due to climate change, weather-related disasters, and lack of employment opportunities. To address these issues, this project has been initiated to provide employment and livelihood support to rural communities through forestry.

The project aims to plant fruit-bearing species to enhance the living conditions of the locals, as well as tree species for fuelwood and minor forest produce to ensure economic sustainability. By converting wastelands and degraded lands into forests, the project seeks to reduce the pressure on forest resources and generate additional income for the tribal communities. Furthermore, the tree plantation will protect the local inhabitants from extreme weather conditions like heat waves by lowering the microclimate of the area.

Overall, the project aims to support the tribal & local communities' livelihoods, improve their living conditions, and promote sustainable forest management, ultimately contributing to the betterment of their lives and the environment.
