The launch was part of a broader national campaign aligned with India’s goals under the United Nations’ Decade on Ecosystem Restoration.

The event sends a strong message of prioritizing nature-based solutions and protecting fragile ecosystems, especially at a time when global environmental challenges are intensifying.
