Mangrove Plantation At Indian Sundarbans
StateThe Sundarban Mangrove forest's slow loss has put Kolkata in a high-risk area! A solitary oceanic trench or cyclone has the potential to cause immense damage to the metropolis! It is important to note that mangroves serve as the sea-land interface's natural buffer or shield. It largely shields the mainland from soil erosion and natural disasters. To the extent that we can, we must work together to restore the Sundarbans. You are an accountable Indian citizen. Therefore, as part of the restoration initiative, we would like to extend an invitation to you to join us in the fight and donate money so that we can continue planting mangrove trees in and around the Sundarbans.
