Ankleshwar ONGC
CATCH Foundation initiated a project in Ankleshwar to transform a barren land into a flourishing Miyawaki dense forest. The project received support from ONGC (Oil and Natural Gas Corporation) as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative. The CATCH Foundation team utilized the "कैच वन संरक्षण प्रणाली" (CATCH Forest Conservation System) to plant and maintain the forest in Ankleshwar for a duration of 3 years.

Project Impact
Growing trees is one of the best way to tackle climate change and make our surrounding healthier and better.
Oxygen supply
1 tree captures 25 kg of carbon in a year. Our dense forest with 2,000 trees can capture over 50,000 kg in a year.
Carbon Captured
1 tree captures 25 kg of carbon in a year. Our dense forest with 2,000 trees can capture over 50,000 kg in a year.
Water conservation
1 grown tree prevents 15,000 litre of water from washing away. Forest directly improves ground water recharge of city.

From people around the area
“After participating in the plantation drive, I am amazed to see the transformation in the landscape. What was once a barren land is now adorned with lush greenery and thriving trees. It's a testament to the power of collective action and the impact we can make on the environment. I feel proud to have been a part of this initiative.”
