This initiative marks the commencement of a grassroots data collection effort that CLAN plans to replicate across Kerala. Our primary objective is to empower panchayats in effectively addressing and mitigating the impacts of climate change
The workshop attracted student volunteers from various colleges in Ernakulam, highlighting the importance of youth involvement in environmental conservation. The program was organized by Nayarambalam Panchayath and coordinated by Grassroute.
This ambitious project has been meticulously planned by Grassroute and is overseen by Rajagiri Outreach, with support from Ocean Network Express, a leading logistics company. The initiative has also garnered cooperation from Nayarambalam Gram Panchayat, various National Service Scheme (N.S.S.) units, and the Encon Club.
This initiative not only strengthens our coastlines but also fosters a sense of environmental stewardship among the younger generation. By planting these trees, students are directly contributing to the protection of their community’s future, while also gaining invaluable knowledge about the importance of preserving our natural environment.
As a mangrove associate, the Coast Cottonwood plays a vital role in the ecosystem’s long-term health. Upon reaching maturity, these trees provide cooling shade and nourishing mulch, fostering the growth of true mangroves. This creates a flourishing habitat for various true mangrove plants.
The collaborative effort between Sustera Foundation and Grassroute is just the beginning. The success of this mangrove restoration project is a testament to the power of dedicated individuals and organizations working together to make a positive impact on the environment.
Keralites use coconut as food, tender coconuts for water and toddy they drink, with the fronds they make mats and roofings, with the oil they cook and with the husk fibre they make ropes. But the thing is that coconut is declaining in Kerala. On World Coconut Day, we plant a few saplings.
Together with students and teachers from four schools, Grassroute and Mathrubhumi Seed Club will plant Coconut Tree Saplings in the compound of SSV Sabha, Kochambalam, Nayarambalam.
Sustera Foundation activists, team Grassroute and Rajagiri Outreach Students jointly planted Mangrove Saplings at two locations near to Natural Fish Ponds at Nayarambalam.
