Barmer, Rajasthan- Bhanu Baba, also known as Bhanu Pratap Saran, has taken his passion for environmental conservation to new heights with the launch of the "Green Thar" campaign. Based in the western part of Rajasthan, Bhanu Baba and his dedicated team have been planting 100 to 200 saplings each year for the past five years, steadily transforming the barren terrain. Now, armed with a social media following of approximately one million on platforms like Facebook and Instagram, Bhanu Baba is leveraging the digital age to create a powerful movement for afforestation in the Thar desert.

Recognizing the pressing need for a larger-scale initiative, Bhanu Baba embarked on the ambitious "Green Thar" campaign. The goal? To instigate a massive tree-planting movement in the parched expanse of the Thar desert, fostering a positive impact on both the environment and local communities.
