Why volunteer for tree plantation drives in Pune?
Everybody is aware of the importance of trees, still trees are freely sacrificed for human needs. The number of trees being cut down is increasing day by day. According to a research, roughly 15 billion trees are cut down each year. The researchers estimate, since the onset of human civilization, the global number of trees has dropped by roughly 46%. Humans have become a prominent factor for the reducing tree density.
Looking at these stats, it becomes clear that if essential steps are not taken towards protecting the green cover of the earth, the day is not long when the planet earth will be called “The Planet With No Trees”.
So how can you help? You can volunteer with Nelda at its tree plantation and maintenance activities in Pune city and do your part. All you have to do is provide your time and efforts, nothing else.

Why is environment conservation a need of the hour?
Trees are one of the most important parts of our ecosystem. They provide us with oxygen, and shade, and they make our environment look beautiful. Without trees, climate change may go rampant and disrupt life as we know it. Tree plantation is one of the best ways to combat climate change.
To put it simply, trees are a natural resource necessary for any ecosystem’s survival. Trees also provide numerous benefits to humans like:
– Providing shade and shelter from the sun
– Producing oxygen and absorbing carbon dioxide
– Cleaning our air and water
– Offering habitats to wildlife
Nelda is an NGO that aims to plant trees all over India. We are an organization that believes in giving back to nature and making our planet a better place for future generations. Nelda has been carrying on this mission since 2016, and has successfully planted thousands of trees till date. We are a registered section 8 company with all the required government permissions for tree plantation & we are proudly backed by the Deshpee Group.
