Cauvery Calling Campaign will support farmers to plant 242 Cr trees to revitalize Cauvery
There Is Only One Solution
The solution lies in replenishing the soil. If we can replenish the soil’s nutrients and carbon content, it will once again turn fertile, absorb rainwater, and feed Cauvery. The easiest and cheapest way to replenish soil is to plant trees.
Cauvery’s Depletion
Cauvery has depleted over 40% in the last 70 years
87% of the basin’s original tree cover has been lost
During the summer, Cauvery is unable to reach the ocean
70% of Cauvery basin’s soil suffers erosion
Farmer Distress
83% of farmers in Tamil Nadu and 77% of farmers in Karnataka are in debt
17 districts in Tamil Nadu were drought-hit in 2019
15 of the last 18 years have been drought years in Karnataka
