In India fifty million trees have been planted for a day

Автор: 25.07.2016 | nature, India
Almost fifty million trees have been planted in Indian state Uttar Pradesh during the 11-th of July. The native land has been greened up by 800 thousand volunteers.

In 2015, in the course of Paris conference on climate, India was obliged to direct $6 billion to make 12% of its territory green. As the result, by 2030 the total area of forest cover will have increased up to 95 million ha and take 29% of the area. These steps are crucially important for India which has lost huge territories of forests because of uncontrolled deforestation

Other countries are being greened up as well, particularly, at the end of last year several African states claimed their intention to increase the square of forestlands up to 100 million ha. In Guinness Book of World Records there is a great deal of one-time actions on mass tree planting. For example, in Bhutan in 2015 nearly 50 thousand seedlings appeared almost for an hour. The world record in the similar action for day and night since 2013 has belonged to Pakistan as here 845 275 trees had been planted.

It is unknown if India sent an application in inclusion into Guinness Book of Records, however, the scale of the action hold does not leave hesitations in victory as on the 11-th of July, 2016 800 thousand people planted 49.3 million trees of 90 sorts for 24 hours. The works had been arranged in Uttar Pradesh which is considered as the most densely-populated state of the country.
