What started as a small voluntary effort to revive Mangalore’s green cover quickly grew into a mission to restore balance between nature and urbanization. Our first step was planting fruit-bearing trees near Karavali Utsav grounds and religious sites, with 180 saplings at Shree Mahaganapathi Temple, Urwa, during Vinayak Chaturthi.

Seeing wildlife encroach on human settlements for food, we traced the cause—vanishing traditional land reserves. Partnering with the Karnataka Forest Department, we planted trees in the Western Ghats to support wildlife. Additionally, we began cleaning polluted river sources, striving for a future where humans and nature thrive together.
