Adopt Trees, Uplift Tribal, Save Fauna (ATUTSF) Foundation<\/a><\/h1><\/div>

\u201cA garden requires patient labor and attention. Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions or to fulfill good intentions. They thrive because someone expended effort on them.\u201d \u2014 Liberty Hyde Bailey<\/i><\/p>

We as informed, sensible, and helpful citizens need to come up and join our hands to support this cause, to stop hunting of wild animals and birds by Hunter tribal and provide them livelihood by transforming them into agriculturists and entrepreneurs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

We at ATUTSFF do not just plant a tree but also save lives of wildlife and birds and also teach Hunter tribal farming by allowing them to work on the farm the whole day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cEvery plant has its requirements to grow and the same is with people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Rapid urbanization and even a fast pace of deforestation are adding up to global warming. According to a study heat waves, carbon emissions, water, and air pollution can also be a potential cause of death of hundreds of people. To stop all the pollution we must grow more trees who are the lungs of Mother Earth.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0Why trees? Because planting trees in orchards and forest creates low-skill jobs, provide benefits to current and future generations, reduces the carbon emissions effect in the environment, restores forests, improves wildlife habitats, upgrades water restoring areas, and offer livelihood to the needy.<\/span><\/p>

To fight the effects of such environmental hazards The ATUTSF foundation has started this drive and we seek support from each one of you to come forward and support the cause. Trees are life and we have to give ample life to us and our coming generations and to do something good for them to cheer upon. Presently, the Hunter tribal earn their food and livelihood by hunting the wild animals and birds in the nearby forest. They are doing this as they are not having any land for agriculture and work to carry out on the fields as it is an arid region and due to scarcity of rain not much can be cultivated. We The ATUTSFF will educate these tribal and groom them into agriculturists and entrepreneurs on sustainable use of farmland. Currently, we are providing our trusts farmland. In the future, we take on lease land from forest and or district administration and or through donation and provide them work on these fields. We grow fruit orchards of Custard Apple and Moringa which perform well in this region. In this process, these Hunter tribe gets an earning by which they stop hunting wild animals and birds become farmers, and join the mainstream.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
