  • Permaculture Instructor Andrew Millison visits the largest reforestation project in the world in the Southern Indian States of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka with the Isha Foundation, founded by Sadhguru. Andrew spent 5 days traveling around the Cauvery River watershed looking at the work of the Isha Foundations' Cauvery Calling project, touring farms, nurseries, temples, and talking with Isha's field agents. Andrew then went to Isha's ashram in Tennessee and was able to directly question Sadhguru about the project.

      ​ @alexanderbouwens2772 of course they did. The needs are so high that coal plants are required. Till the time, there's renewable energy alternative for that large scale. One would be stupid to wait for that long and keep the people impoverished and underdeveloped. That's why there is a mix of different types of energy in the basket. The point to be noted is that there's a reduction in coal as compared to what it would actually require for growth.

      it is likely that developing countries will surpass "first world" countries in regards to climate change. They still understand the seriousness of disease, hunger, and heat. They know the value of education, and respect intelligence. They are the most at risk, but have the best social attitudes to be able to bring change.
      First world countries do not have the living memory of our natural ecosystems. We do not respect intelligence any more, and our education systems are failed. We do not understand the meaning of hunger, and our compartmentalised societies are full of entrenched experts and professionals who will resist change.
      This is a very simplistic explanation, and a gross generalisation, but as a whole it is a fair assessment. We see still in the western world that climate change is still a "debate", and a lot of our "efforts" for environmental action are green washing attempts to divert blame away from real change. We are too arrogant to be able to survive without radical change.

      At these places shown we have rainfall for 4 to 6 month followed by winter and you have to look after from march to may. April shower happens for sometime. Even though looked after well it grows well but Need not require maintainence more often.

    The tree nurseries that support these projects are both an amazing and crucial component of reforestation and watershed restoration projects. Unfortunately, the vast majority use single use (plastic) pockets to grow seedlings in which will inevitably find their way into the environment, perhaps even some of those restored watersheds, eventually ending up in the ocean. If it were only a few thousand examples, while not exactly great, it wouldn't amount to a major contribution to the environmental catastrophe single use plastics represents. But as with many reforestation/watershed restoration projects, these tend to be large-scale in nature, using hundreds of millions of single use plastic pockets for propagation overall.
    India produces plenty of jute, all of which is a natural, biodegradable material for the production of hessian; I've even seen an example of massive hessian bags being used in some rural road construction for minor roadways. Surely, jute cultivation could be massively increased to displace tree propagation single use plastics, increase farmer's incomes & provide extra rural employment opportunities from the processing, manufacturing, & transportation of the jute into hessian propagation bags, as well as increasing soil biomass as the bags rot down in the soil and storing carbon in the process.
    There are other reforestation/watershed projects around the world who've come to recognise that their use of single use plastic propagation bags is a negative, especially as they often operate in remote rural areas where recycling is a remote to none feature of community life. As such, they either have, or are actively, seeking to use local biodegradable options to completely eradicate their single use plastics. It simply doesn't make sense to inadvertently continue to create one environmental disaster, fossil fuels usage, as we seek to solve another.
    This is a brilliant video, Andrew, as always. The aforementioned topic is simply an observation of mine. All the best. 😊
    P.S. I can't remember if I've mentioned it before, but there's also an Armenian reforestation charity with its own CZcams channel who (also) utilise weddings to facilitate donations. Instead of people buying couples wedding gifts, they can buy trees and are offered the opportunity to come and plant them. The couples themselves are offered the opportunity to celebrate their nuptials by buying trees in combination with invitations to also plant them, giving them an opportunity to return in future years to see how the trees are doing.
    I think that many more tree planting charities should not only offer this, but expand the concept to include all sorts of the marking of special events in people's lives. Not everyone is in a position to regularly donate, but gift giving is much more likely to be within the realms of affordability/acceptability and should it become as widespread as it is with this charity, it could eventually lead to a massive drop in unnecessary consumer spending, waste packaging & its management, as well as the associated emissions.
    Probably a naive wish on my part but dreamers can dream. A friend of mine has been trying to convince his family, with great difficulty I might add, for the last 3yrs to donate on his behalf instead of 'stuff' giving that he neither wants or has room for at his age. They find this this a difficult concept to grasp.

      Planting has zero value till mature trees continue to be cut randomly & extensively. Most trees take anywhere between 10- 20 years to mature . And it takes minutes to cut these down .
      Have a plan & system in place for taking care of what already exists while going in for something new . Else it's like filling an ever increasing chasm

    After hearing save the soil for last 3 years only now im getting the clarity of what he is saying, Like i do some plantations during covid and it all basically depends on soil primarily then seed and climate. The soil is the most important factor like of air water and food , only after air there is some chance to go to next stage of water than food . Without air the second stage is not possible so first save soil from desertification then only it could gave birth to sustainable ecosystem.❤ wow i just had a realisation.

    Aerospace engineer here:
    These are the sorts of projects we need to do but at a much larger scale.
    Right now there's around 2.5 Trillion (with a 'T') tons of *ADDITIONAL* CO2 in the atmosphere over what there should be. I am an engineer and I can tell you quite simply there is NO OTHER VIABLE way to remove that C02 than with trees and plants.
    The reason we need to go with trees and plants is because they are fundamentally low maintenance solar powered carbon pumps. Plant the right tree or plant to suit the environment and they just sit there sucking CO2 out of the air and capturing it in the wood or dragging it down into the soil. This is what the planet did for a several billion years until it made the planet habitable *FOR US* and then we messed it up.
    All these mechanical direct air capture schemes are nonsense. First off it will take an incredible amount of energy and raw materials to build all the equipment needed. Then it will take an even more incredible amount of energy to run it. Just the first 1km of air above the Earths surface is about 500 million cubic kilometers. We'd need enough machinery to suck in and then scrub 1/2 a billion cubic kilometers. Its simply IDI0TIC to think that's practical.
    All the other schemes like seeding the oceans to help create more plankton or dumping using Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) in the upper atmosphere are even more IDI0TIC because if anything goes wrong it will either to nothing at all and waste time or it will mees up the planet so bad the catastrophe will be Biblical.

    You know I love land conservation videos and I love watching all of your stuff because the absolute truth of the water cycle and the cycle of life is represented here. The problem though with these videos is that we seem to be making a compromise that farmers make money. If farmers make more money or the land is better, this is generally good. But we must understand that there's still ridiculous poverty and the people who work for the farmers probably don't have anything like a decent life to live. I think the answer is to allow the communities to feed themselves and if that was the model, India is a world leader in potential irrigation. What do you think?
