Clean air and water for Biratnagar: restoring the Baobab riverbank
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Baobab riverbank needs $300 for saplings and equipment.
🇳🇵 Biratnagar, Koshi, Nepal452 views
The Baobab riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 111 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 86 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the local forestry office, including native species selected by a local botanist.
The area floods more each year, and fish have returned for the first time in a decade after our first cleanup. Restoring it will protect homes and bring back shade.
All the labor is volunteered. We just need materials.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $300 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $130
• Tools and protective gear: $40
• Waste removal and skip hire: $75
• Signage and educational materials: $55
Thanks for reading all this.
