9.4.3 CAIRN :
a) Ecological Restoration / Remediation:
Cairn restores its project sites (including camp sites) as close as
possible to the original conditions. This includes restoration of
preserved Top-Soil, removal of all buried and above ground structures
(unless required by the land owner) and restoration of natural drainage
channels and topography. In the Barmer-Salaya Pipeline Project, Cairn
has restored water body, crossings, which were vulnerable to erosion,
with Geo-jute and stone pitching.
b) CO 2
Sequestration:
Cairn has taken Project Shrishti which is an example of Cairn India’s
commitment to ensuring sustenance of environment. The project
aims at promoting Bio-diversity, turning deserts into forest, providing
livelihood support and reducing carbon footprint, over and above
ensuring compliance. While several of our energy saving/carbon
reduction initiatives are targeted towards our operations, we also
realize that these measures need to be supplemented by creating
carbon sinks for the Green House Gas emissions that do get released
to the atmosphere. A reliable way to capture this released carbon is by
planting trees, since trees act as natural carbon sinks.
By increasing the green cover, we are
able to meet the multiple requirements
of green-belt compliance, improving
the biodiversity of the areas where
plantation activities take place, coastal
protection and increasing the carbon
dioxide absorbing capacity of the planet.
The primary vehicle for coordinating
these activities is our in – house program
called Project Shrishti coordinated by
our land team. Till date, Project Shrishti
has contributed in plantation of approx.
4.40 Lakhs trees over approx. 365
hectares of land across Cairn Blocks in
Rajasthan, Gujarat & Andhra Pradesh
and planted approx. 29 Lakhs mangrove
plants over approx. 260 hectares of
coastal areas of Gujarat and Andhra
Pradesh.
