The story behind Peepal Baba : the man who planted 1.27 crore Peepal trees 

Peepal Baba has been planting trees since the year 1977, when he was just 11 years old. He planted his first Peepal tree on 26th January 1977, which is his birthday, and the Republic Day of India. 45 years later, he is still going strong, having planted and preserved 1.27 crore Peepal trees (also called Ficus religiosa, sacred fig, bodhi tree), and planting several lakh trees every year with his organization ‪@givemetreestrust‬
The peepal tree holds a very important place in Indian spirituality, and in religions like Hinduism and Buddhism.
