Maharashtra Launches Website to Track Mangrove Afforestation

Maharashtra's Forest Department now has a website where people can see details about where they're planting new mangrove trees to replace ones that were cut down for building projects.

The government created the website after the High Court told them to.

This will let people see how many trees are being planted, where they're being planted, and if they're surviving.

Environmental groups are happy about the website, but they're worried that the number of trees that survive might not be as high as the government says.

They want more detailed information, like pictures and specific survival rates for each location to make sure the process is done well.
