Description
- Since 1999, TIST's mission has been to identify local sustainable development goals that include tree planting and sustainable agriculture. Additionally, the organization has programs to address health, education, and nutrition.
- Tree planting in India began in 2002. Since then 926,591 trees have been planted by 863 groups consisting of 5,116 group members and 496 villages.
- Future plans include the involvement of more groups to plant more trees. Also TIST hopes to provide long-term revenue for the Small Group participants through the sale of greenhouse gas credits.
