AALAMARAM NGO

Mangrove reforestation has been enthusiastically taken up by a rural-based Aalamaram, a non-governmental organisation. The volunteers from the surrounding villages of Thyagavalli, Nochikadu, Naduthittu, Thiruchopuram, Poondiyankuppam, Rajapettai and Sothikuppam extended their co-operation in planting the seedlings, carefully nursing them and vigilantly preserving them .Mangrove forests are important and crucial for the coastal areas. Mangroves play a vital role in stabilising these areas. No engineering and technological solutions can be sought for stabilising this imbalance. Students and other people of the village take turns in groups and get into the marshy lands to plant and nurse the plants in the night hours. Their efforts since 2009 have bore fruit. Nearly 5,000 mangrove saplings were planted along the bank of Uppanar River. The industrial area of Cuddalore, SIPCOT, is located on the bank and wishing that the mangroves would purify the water and the air pollution
