Synopsis
Assam, an agriculturally-led state, is vulnerable to climate change, crop failure, and soil erosion. Pabitra Mili, a resident of Baligaon, has decided to take a stand. He's combating deforestation by afforesting lands to counter erosion and create havens for elephants. The community is also planting lemon and chilli in agricultural fields to deter elephants, reducing human-animal conflicts. Pabitra's efforts have not only protected the environment but also empowered the community.
