In the past three years, Wipro Cares volunteers have planted 6,500 mangroves to protect Sundarbans
Sundarbans is the world’s last remaining mangrove forest inhabited by tigers. It is currently threatened by severe coastal erosion and natural disasters. The Kolkata Location Chapter team has been visiting Sundarbans since 2021 to plant mangroves. More than 300 Wiproites have contributed to these drives. Together with the local communities, Wipro Cares volunteers have nurtured a thriving ecosystem by planting 6,000+ mangroves in Sundarbans over the past three years.
They have planted varied species of mangroves. These include Sundari, Gewa, Keora and Dhundul, among others. Wipro Cares’ interventions have helped preserve Sundarbans’ diverse natural habitat. They have indirectly aided hundreds of local fisherfolk as well. These communities rely on a variety of fishes and crustaceans, which thrive because of the mangroves.
The mangrove plantation drives were organized in collaboration with Sabuj Sangha, a local nonprofit organization. It implements a variety of sustainable rural development programs in several domains. These include education and child protection, livelihood and women’s empowerment, and environment and disaster response.
