DEFORESTATION
The deforestation definition, put in its simplest form, is the reduction in forest areas across the world. It is caused by both natural and human activities, although it is undeniably accelerated by humans via actions such as urbanization, mining, and agricultural farming. Guru Nanak Charitable Society promotes forestation in every region of the country in order to increase the number of trees all over the country. We plant as many trees as possible in rural and urban areas of the country. Deforestation has affected the lives of wild animals and birds including bats. Birds like sparrows, pigeons, and crows are becoming rarer due to deforestation. Due to deforestation, India is facing water problems in urban cities and villages.
By destroying the forests, human activities are putting entire ecosystems in danger, creating natural imbalances, and putting Life at threat. The natural world is complex, interconnected, and made of thousands of inter-dependencies and among other functions, trees provide shade and colder temperatures for animals and smaller trees or vegetation which may not survive with the heat of direct sunlight. Besides, trees also feed animals with their fruits while providing them with the food and shelter they need to survive.
PLANTATION
Guru Nanak Charitable Society tries to do more and more tree plantation campaigns as trees not only provide oxygen but also play an essential role in the ecology. Ecological imbalance can cause floods, a drought that can lead to the destruction of life. Trees also reduce wind speeds and cool the air as they lose moisture and reflect heat upwards from their leaves. It’s estimated that trees can reduce the temperature in a city by up to 7°C. Trees are an investment. How well that investment grows depends on several factors including, the type of tree planted, its location, and the care provided. Getting your new tree off to a healthy start will help the tree mature to its full size and ensure it will provide environmental, economic, and social benefits throughout its lifetime. Trees remove carbon dioxide from the air as they grow, tree planting can be used as a geoengineering technique to remove CO2 from the atmosphere.

Green Energy
Guru Nanak Charitable Society works in one way or another to provide off-grid electrification solutions, specifically in rural and deprived parts of India.
Green energy is any energy type that is generated from natural resources, such as sunlight, wind, or water. It often comes from renewable energy sources although there are some differences between renewable and green energy, which we will explore, below.
The key to these energy resources is that they don’t harm the environment through factors such as releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
Green energy is important for the environment as it replaces the negative effects of fossil fuels with more environmentally-friendly alternatives.
Solar Power
This common renewable, green energy source is usually produced using photovoltaic cells that capture sunlight and turn it into electricity. Solar power is also used to heat buildings and for hot water as well as for cooking and lighting. Solar power has now become affordable enough to be used for domestic purposes including garden lighting, although it is also used on a larger scale to power entire neighborhoods.
