Randeep Hooda, wife Lin plant over 500 trees to celebrate World Environment Day

Actor Randeep Hooda and wife Lin Laishram champion environmental conservation by planting 500 trees near India's iconic tiger reserve

"Nature doesn't need us — we need nature. - Randeep Hooda"

Mumbai, June 5

To celebrate World Environment Day on Thursday, actor-filmmaker Randeep Hooda and his wife Lin Laishram planted over 500 trees near Kanha National Park in Madhya Pradesh.

Randeep said that World Environment Day is not just a “symbolic date on the calendar.” He added: “It’s a reminder that we are running out of time to repair the damage we’ve done to nature. Forests are the lungs of our planet, and without them, the rich biodiversity we so often take for granted will not survive.”

“My connection to wildlife has always been spiritual, and every visit to Kanha only reinforces the urgency of our responsibility toward nature," he added.

The Kanha National Park is known for its rich biodiversity. The park is home to majestic Bengal tigers, Indian leopards, sloth bears, swamp deer, blackbucks, and dhole. It is also the first tiger reserve in India to officially introduce a mascot, Bhoorsingh the Barasingha.

The actor added that planting a tree may seem like a small act, but it is deeply powerful. He said: “A tree gives shelter, food, oxygen, and balance — just like nature gives us everything without asking in return. My wife Lin and I feel truly humbled to contribute, even in a small way, to this incredible ecosystem that needs our protection now more than ever. Forests and wildlife are not separate — they are interdependent, and both must thrive together.”

Randeep urged everyone to not just celebrate this day, but to embody its message every day in whatever capacity they can. “Nature doesn’t need us — we need nature.”

Randeep’s latest work includes the Sunny Deol-starrer high octane actioner Jaat, which has been directed by Gopichand Malineni. The film also stars Saiyami Kher, Regina Cassandra, Jagapathi Babu, Ramya Krishnan, Vineet Kumar Singh, Prashant Bajaj, Zarina Wahab, P. Ravi Shankar, and Babloo Prithiveeraj.

What a wonderful initiative by Randeep and Lin! 🌱 We need more celebrities using their influence for environmental causes. Planting 500 trees is no small feat - hope this inspires others to take action too. Our forests truly are the lifeline for both wildlife and humans.

While I appreciate the gesture, I wonder if these celebrity tree plantations actually survive long-term. Many such drives end up with saplings dying due to lack of care. Hope Randeep ji follows up with proper maintenance too. The intention is good though!

So proud to see our Bollywood stars taking real action! Kanha is such a precious ecosystem - home to our national animal. Randeep's words about nature not needing us but us needing nature really hit home. Let's all plant at least one tree this monsoon season!

Great work! But I wish they'd also addressed urban tree plantation. Our cities are becoming concrete jungles with terrible AQI. Maybe next time they could do this in Mumbai or Delhi where green cover is desperately needed?

Love how Randeep connects wildlife conservation with spirituality. In our culture, we've always worshipped trees like peepal and banyan. This is bringing back those traditional values in a modern way. More power to them! 🙏

Excellent initiative! Though 500 trees is just a drop in the ocean compared to what we've lost. Hope this starts a trend where every film production plants trees equal to their carbon footprint. That would make real impact!
