The planting of 300 fruit trees in Matihani Ward 1, Mahottari, represents a grassroots effort with a profound impact on positive climate change. What makes this initiative particularly significant is the local citizens’ active ownership of the project. By taking responsibility for the tree planting, the community is demonstrating a strong commitment to environmental sustainability.
As these fruit trees mature, they will not only contribute to carbon sequestration and cleaner air but also empower the local populace. The fruits can serve as a source of nutrition and income for the community, reducing dependency on environmentally harmful practices.
