Viral Desai, known as the "Green Man," has planted over 650,000 trees in seven urban forests around Surat, India, over five years to improve air quality and biodiversity. A study found that these forests reduced harmful PM 2.5 and PM 10 particles by 10.66% and 18.66%, respectively, which significantly benefits respiratory health. Encouraged by these results, Desai plans to continue expanding his efforts.
