National Afforestation Programme

The National Afforestation Programme (NAP) is an initiative in India aimed at restoring and enhancing forest cover across the country. It focuses on planting trees in degraded forest areas and promoting sustainable management of forests. The program seeks to improve biodiversity, combat climate change, and support local communities by providing them with resources and opportunities related to forestry. By promoting afforestation and sustainable practices, the NAP aims to achieve environmental balance and improve the livelihoods of those dependent on forest resources. Overall, it contributes to a healthier ecosystem and a greener future.
