Rajasthan's Desert Berry Ker Faces Threats From Changing Environment

In the desert of Rajasthan, people eat ker, a berry from a special plant.

Women earn money by gathering and selling it.

But now, ker is having trouble.

Changes in farming, like less space for the plants, and more rain or changes in weather are hurting the ker plants.

Scientists are studying how to help ker survive, but they need more research.

The price of ker is going up because there is less of it, and it is becoming harder for women to earn money from it.
