   E46 | Before the Trees Go Silent

   In this episode of Praana Cafe, the focus is on Forests across India - the laws that were meant to protect and how they have softened and the comofrting story we tell ourselves about the growing green cover in India. And then three painful stories, from Chattisgarh (where a forest still breathes) to Andaman & Nicobar (an island too quiet to fight back) to the Aravallis (where the mountain that stopped the desert). There is a pattern beneath these stories that should make us uncomfortable. P.S: Regarding the laws mentioned in the episode, I've tried to understand and simplify them to the best of my ability.

   This episode of the Praana Cafe podcast is simply a Biodiversity Fix we all need. Can we pause and understand some simple truths in an increasingly complex world? I have personally seen and worked with Dr Deepti Sharma and she is passionate and throughly informed about the natural world, and that inspired me to have an indepth chat with her.
