Earth Day: Punjab Greener by 3 million Trees Thanks to The Billion Tree Project

Mohali, April 22, 2025: What began as a seed of hope has now grown into over 3 million native trees, transforming barren stretches of Punjab into living, breathing forests. Over the past six years, Roundglass Foundation’s The Billion Tree Project (TBTP) has covered 980 acres of barren and fallow land—an area equal to 742 football fields—with beautiful native trees with a remarkable survival rate of nearly 90%. These trees have flourished into thriving ecosystems, teeming with birds, butterflies, insects, and other lifeforms crucial to Punjab’s biodiversity. Beyond beauty, these forests are healing the land and its people by recharging groundwater, improving the air, and becoming natural allies in the fight against climate change.
