Every time a girl is born in this Indian village, 111 trees are planted

When the former leader of the small village of Piplantri in Rajasthan, India, lost his daughter when she was very young, he wanted to come up with something that would cherish the life of each girl child to be born. That’s when he thought up the idea of creating an initiative in which 111 trees are planted to celebrate the birth of each girl born in the village. Under the initiative, which started in 2006, villagers plant the trees in the Piplantri’s grazing commons.
