In the Sidhi District of India’s Madhya Pradesh state, the opportunity is massive.

WRI India. Available at https://india.restorationatlas.org/about. forest protection and tree-based landscape restoration underpin many domestic policy goals and international commitments made by the Government of india. The National Forest Policy, 1988 aims to establish forest and tree cover over 33 percent of India' s geographical area. India' s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) as part of the Paris Agreement on climate change commits to sequestering an additional 2.5 to 3 billion tons CO 2 equivalent by 2030 through improved forest and tree cover. Official estimates suggest that achieving this target requires protecting and improving existing forest cover while also extending tree cover in more than 25 to 30 million hectares (MoEFCC, 2017). Forest protection and landscape restoration are also essential components of the Sustainable Development Goals especially SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SDG 13 (Climate Action) and SDG 15 (Life on Land). With over 700 million people in rural India economically dependent on forests and agriculture, improving forest and tree cover at scale can make a transformative contribution to strengthening rural economy, with benefits for local communities including women, tribals and other marginalized groups.
