As the world wide movement gathers pace to plant trees as a reaction to the
increased effects of climate change, there is a need to monitor and certify
tree planting programs to ensure they support the conservation of
biodiversity rather than contribute to its demise. Botanical Gardens
Conservation International
(BGCI) an organization that networks botanical gardens across the global
has launched such as scheme which is called the “Global Biodiversity
Standard”.

They are working with a wide range of partners in an attempt to raise
awareness amongst governments, funders and tree planting programs, so that
meaningful tree plantation programs are undertaken. The standard has been
launched and at present it is going through testing and trials, to modify
and adapt it to the varying conditions found around the world. Auroville
Botanical Gardens is the hub for this project in India and SE Asia, and it
is hoping to collaborate with as many practitioners in India to certify
projects and to train certifiers in the different eco zones. There current
partners include Society for Ecological Restoration, Ecosia, CIFOR, IUCN,
SCC, TRAFFIC, and Plan VIVO.

*About the speaker*
Paul arrived in the international community of Auroville, India in 1991,
aged 24. For last 30 years he has been committed to the conservation and
restoration of the Tropical Dry Evergreen Forests. In the year 2000 he was
one of the instigators of the Auroville Botanical Gardens. Now 20 years
later it is a thriving and beautiful environment dedicated to the
conservation of biodiversity. He also runs large-scale ecological
restoration projects. He recently completed the restoration of an old
cement quarry, creating an eco – park which will serve as a benchmark
project for the mining industries of India.
