Nurturing Nature: AIM Foundation’s Forest Cleaning Initiative

Forests are the lungs of our planet, and keeping them clean is essential for the health of our environment and all living beings. At AIM Foundation, we are committed not just to planting trees but also to protecting and preserving forest ecosystems through active on-ground efforts. One of our key environmental programs focuses on forest cleaning drives, particularly in ecologically sensitive regions like the Sundarbans.


With rising pollution and human negligence, forested areas are increasingly being littered with plastic waste, glass bottles, discarded packaging, and other non-biodegradable materials. This not only harms wildlife but also disrupts the natural balance of these biodiverse habitats.


In our recent Forest Cleaning Initiative, AIM Foundation mobilized volunteers, local youth, and community members to remove waste and debris from selected forest patches. Participants were equipped with gloves, collection bags, and safety gear to ensure a safe and effective clean-up. Areas around walking trails, mangrove belts, and riverbanks were targeted, as these zones often accumulate the most waste.


Beyond cleaning, we also focused on awareness-building—conducting small educational sessions to inform locals and visitors about the long-term damage caused by littering and the importance of eco-friendly practices. Signboards and waste bins were also installed where possible to promote responsible behavior.


This initiative is part of our broader vision to preserve natural heritage, promote biodiversity, and involve communities in conservation. Every piece of trash removed is a step toward a cleaner, greener, and healthier ecosystem.


At AIM Foundation, we believe that true environmental change begins with action—and together, we can keep our forests thriving for generations to come.

Forest Cleaning Drive from Murti to Chandrachur – A Step Towards a Greener Tomorrow

On January 11, 2021, AIM Foundation, in collaboration with Abasar and the West Bengal Forest Department, launched the “Clean Murti to Chandrachur” campaign—a 5 km forest cleaning drive through the heart of Gorumara National Park in the Himalayan foothills of West Bengal. Home to the majestic Indian rhinoceros and diverse wildlife, Gorumara is one of India’s most treasured national parks. However, as tourism grows, so do the challenges. Littering and careless human behavior threaten the delicate balance of this ecosystem. Discarded plastics and waste not only mar the natural beauty of the park but also endanger animal life and increase the risk of forest fires. The campaign aimed to combat this growing issue by cleaning the stretch from Murti to the Chandrachur Watchtower, a scenic route often traveled by tourists. The initiative received enthusiastic support from local communities, officials, and students. Distinguished guests, including Mr. Sanjay Mukherjee (IRS), Addl. Commissioner o...
