===India=== [[File: Tree Plantation Drive.jpg|thumb|Tree Plantation Drive by Shree Aniruddha Upasana Foundation, Mumbai, India]]{{Unreferenced section|date=October 2022}} Tree Plantation drives combat many environmental issues like deforestation, erosion of soil, [[desertification]] in semi-arid areas, global warming and hence enhancing the beauty and balance of the environment. Trees absorb harmful gases and emit oxygen resulting in an increase in oxygen supply. On average, a single tree emits 260 pounds of oxygen annually. Similarly, a fully-grown tree is sufficient for 18 human beings in one acre of land in one year stressing the importance of tree plantation for mankind. [[Aniruddha's Academy of Disaster Management]] in [[Mumbai, India]] carries out numerous projects to plant trees on a huge scale. The foundation trains volunteer on this subject at [[Cattle#Environmental impact|Govidyapeetham (Cattle Conservation Institute)]] in the city of Karjat in Maharashtra, India. The trained volunteers then plant saplings, trees in groups on available land. Local government authorities also provide vacant plots, land on highways sides and on the hills for tree plantation. Ek Kadam Sansthan<ref>[http://www.ekkadam.org Ek Kadam Sansthan]</ref> of [[Jaipur, India]] is involved in many plantation projects including ''one tree my duty to plant trees on the earth''. The Ek Kadam plant trees and hand them over to the individual at the village, who meets beneficiary criteria like they are financially challenged, physically challenged etc. After handing over the process Sansthan pays them 100 INR per tree for watering and safety from grazing cattle. Hence by this process Ek Kadam sansthan want to ensure 100% survivability of planted trees. Many volunteers are added to this campaign. The trained volunteers help Ek Kadam Sansthan to plant saplings, and managing all processes. Ek Kadam Sansthan not taking any support from government agencies. The management committee is regularised and managed by retired bureaucrats to ensure transparency in funds and performance measures.
