Restoring the Baobab wetland: a volunteer-led project in Rohini
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Baobab wetland needs $200 for saplings and equipment.
🇮🇳 Rohini, Delhi, India1,270 views
The Baobab wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 105 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 98 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the district council, 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $200 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $95
• Signage and educational materials: $45
• Waste removal and skip hire: $60
Thanks for being kind about this.
