The Aravalli Green Wall Project launched in 2023 aims to achieve which of the following?
Restoration of degraded forest patches in Aravalli range
The Aravalli Green Wall Project was launched on 25 March 2023 by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change. Inspired by Africa's Great Green Wall, it envisions a 1,400 km long, 5 km wide green belt around the Aravalli range covering parts of Haryana, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Delhi.
Its core aim is to restore degraded forest patches and scrubland in the Aravalli range by planting native species, rejuvenating water bodies (75 in the initial phase), and checking the eastward expansion of the Thar Desert.
(A) refers to Himalayan states (not Aravalli); (B) describes a different geography (Indo-Gangetic plains); (D) restricts itself to desert soil carbon, which is not the project's main goal.
Hence the answer is option C.
