Birthday Forest

Birthday forest is a platform that lets user to plant trees on their birthday. Using ubiquitous mobile platform and Internet as a medium, the team Birthday Forest intend to penetrate all kind of users both in urban and rural areas of Nepal (including Nepalese abroad). The main vision is to use information technology to reach wide population and give them a cause, a feeling of ownership and a feeling of self-satisfaction on their contribution to the environment.

The team intend to involve students by collaborating with schools, to plant trees on their behalf. Through our platform students will be able to plant trees free of cost on their birthday, giving them exposure to the importance of planting trees in their early stage hence making them realize their responsibility towards environment.

With feedback of people, Birthday Forest is trying to extend the idea of planting trees on “Community Forest”. Birthday forest is also working to make the possibility of planting trees on streets as well.

How does it work?

User will be able to use “birthday forest” interface to select forest/ street location (we are working on multiple platforms to reach wider population).
Next they can select saplings favorable on their selected forest/ street.
Cost of saplings depends on units / user type / geo-location of forest as price will differ from place to place.
Once the payment goes through user can wait for the status to change from “pending” to “planted” and share it with their friends on social media and be happy on their contribution to the environment.
