Community & Rural Development

Many cities, particularly in developing countries are mostly affected by rapid and haphazard urban growth which raises the pressure on the natural environment and in particular, on the urban green coverDue to urbanisation, we have lost lots of biodiversity. Tree cover in Kolkata has reduced from 23% to 7.3% in the last 20 years. And by 2030 it will be just 3.37%!Cyclone Amphan which struck Kolkata in the month of May,2020 has further caused damage to the Lungs of Kolkata. 
 Considering the importance of urban forests in Kolkata, the Switch ON Foundation is planning to set up Miyawaki Urban Forests across Kolkata. With this method of plantation, an urban forest can grow within a short span of 20-30 years while a conventional forest takes around 200-300 years to grow naturally.We are raising funds to create Urban Forests in Kolkata. The project name is Miyawaki Urban Forest Newtown Kolkata and the  Project has been approved by New Town Kolkata Development Authority (NKDA). Area of the Project is 5908 sq ft (1.46 acres) and The project is to be set up in Action Area II, “Rekjauni” New Town,Kolkata-700135.  We are looking to start Plantation from Oct,2021 and are looking to raise Funds to start purchase of Saplings, Soil Enhancements and any Land Preparation to plant Trees. 
 The project will impact the Environment by reducing carbon footprint and restore Nature in Urban Kolkata. There will be use of no pesticides/insecticides in the Miyawaki Way of Afforestation and the Forests will grow 10 times faster and become maintenance free after a span of 3 years  The following are the Benefits of Urban Forests: <ul><li>Restoring Nature in Urban Population</li><li>Improved Soil Fertility</li><li>Reduce Air Pollution</li></ul>  Link:https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1470160X20311171
