Pradip Krishen on Ecological Restoration Beyond Planting Trees

Pradip Krishen is a famous filmmaker who became an expert in fixing nature.

He started this work by accident when he went to a place called Pachmarhi to make a movie.

There, he learned about trees from a forester friend.

He then helped create special parks in Jodhpur and Jaipur, which are great examples of how to fix nature.

Krishen says fixing nature is not just about planting trees.

It's about making the land like it was before people changed it.

He had to learn a lot by trying different things and making notes.

Now, he is writing books to share what he knows.

He thinks it's important to use the right plants and understand how they grow in different places.

He also says that governments often only plant trees, which is not enough.

He wants people to understand that fixing nature is more complicated and needs careful work.
