About the Project
Zodiac Makara – Capricorn is part of SankalpTaru's Community Barren Land Transformation
Program, aimed at greening barren landscapes while connecting individuals with their zodiac trees. Shami is the sacred zodiac tree of Capricorn borns, offering holy blessings through planting and worship. Designated as the state tree of both Rajasthan and Telangana, Shami played a significant role in inspiring the Chipko Movement. Offering prayers to the Shami tree is believed to cleanse one's sins, while the tree itself is a powerful remedy for innumerable diseases and an efficient contributor to improving soil fertility.
Planted across community barren lands, this initiative transforms ecologically degraded areas into thriving green spaces while delivering lasting environmental and community benefits.
Through this initiative, the Community Barren Land Transformation Program delivers:
- Challenging Terrain Management: Areas selected for plantation are often rough or arid, and our teams undertake complex, resource-intensive ground preparation to ensure successful tree establishment
- Water Arrangements: Sustainable water sources are established, including the installation of micro-drip irrigation systems, to ensure the survival and healthy growth of every planted tree
- Fencing & Protection: The entire plantation area is fenced with steel mesh and poles to protect trees from grazing animals and other environmental threats
- Biodiversity Promotion: Encourages ecological balance by restoring native tree cover and supporting flora and fauna across community barren landscapes
- Long-term Maintenance: Dedicated personnel from the local community or SankalpTaru staff are employed for five years to maintain and nurture the trees, ensuring their long-term survival
By supporting Zodiac Makara – Capricorn, you contribute to transforming barren lands into thriving green spaces while celebrating the rich bond between nature and human well-being.
