India has always been known to have a rich biodiversity which means that very often experts are able to discover something new about different plant and animal species, that weren`t known to us before. In an attempt to take the conversation around climate change forward through the Green Tamil Nadu Mission, the saplings that have been planted and maintained till now will be geo-tagged for round-the-clock monitoring, which will take place on an application.
Sources in the Tamil Nadu forest department told IANS that 28 nurseries run by the department are ready with 50,000 saplings and will be geo-tagged and monitored round the clock through the services of the app.
According to sources, the state forest department has 232 nurseries that can produce around 1.75 crore saplings. The raising of saplings commenced in April 2022 for the current year. The forest department will start raising new saplings from November for the coming year.
The planting will commence from the end of July and will continue till October in each district. The district collector monitors the planting and the details are updated on the Tamil Nadu Green Missions portal: gtm.org.in.
