Pitchandikulam Forest is a 63-acre patch of land on the outskirts of Auroville, India. Founded in 1973, Pitchandikulams mission was, and continues to be, the revival of Tropical Dry Evergreen Forest that are still in existence. Throughout the centuries the TDEF has been almost completely wiped out by the many civilizations that have occupied the area. Today no more than 500 acres of undisturbed TDEF remains.
Today Pitchandikulam Forest is an environmental education facility for the local community with a focus on the teaching of conservation, identification and use of indigenous medicinal plants. They have childrenˇ˝s learning programs visit the forest and educational walks where information is displayed artistically on slates of stone painted by artists. Pitchandikulam also has many outreach projects up and down the east coast of India, within the Kaliveli Bioregion. They have planted gardens and built environmental education centers at some of the poorest schools in the area.

Beautiful. I was just talking with my husband today about going to Iraq to inspire the people to take back their land and reforest the desert.
A new invention called the Waterboxx makes this very possible without need for irrigation.
I thank Anastasia Ringing Cedars series as my inspiration in believing that I can bring this dream to reality. We must all revert back to simple life.
Read Anastasia, it is like nothing you have ever read before! We will turn this earth around. God willing.

Measures taken in small steps, done with passion will have a long lasting reward. Help provided to gain awareness to be self sufficient.
Nice film. Thank you for this.

I think that if we got the populations to control themselves and set them out to repair these acres and acres of degraded landscapes that we could make it through these tough times without massive deaths and violence.
This is a great example.
