Watching India, with its rich and ancient culture, slowly reclaim its vibrancy and strength brings such joy to my heart. The resilience and beauty of this country, which never deserved the weight of colonization, inspire hope and admiration. India's journey of recovery is a testament to the enduring spirit of its people and the magnificence of its heritage. Here's to a future where India continues to shine brightly, reclaiming its rightful place among the world's most cherished cultures.

India has been improving so much where other countries flatline. I have great hopes that India's progress could inspire (or humiliate) other nations into doing better

I love the water projects happening all across India, keep going, great work by the people, a shining example for other nations to follow. Watching from Australia 🦘😊

I would like to see this in the US. We need real leadership. I have begun planting on my small plot of land, more than 500 plantings so far, still going, not fast enough

I love the idea of 'wedding trees.' The perfect reminder of a happy event. If everyone, no matter the country, had been doing this from 50 years ago, when woodlands and forests were already in a stricken state, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in now.

Andrew, the way you document, expose and share ecological work done around the world is amazing. A true credit to you. Also providing free permaculture education via your UKposts channel is a true reflection of the quality of human being you are. Conscientious, Generous, you show a complete lack of lust for profit which is admirable. much respect to you brother.

Isha Foundation's Cauvery Calling is most inspiring. We are fortunate to have Sadhguru amongst us in India. The plan for 13 rivers in different states will be successful too.

The point about emotional involvement and spiritual attachment was excellent. It is hard to motivate people to take care of and maintain things, especially with how busy and individualistic the world is today.

This is simply the best good-news story around, and I don't say that just as someone who is benefiting directly in Pune. What an amazing series this is, Andrew!

Planting trees are without a doubt the way to save the world.

Andrew Anna, Happy to have worked with you while you were in Tamil Nadu. I love your approach to creating content on water management. Thank you so much for all your wonderful videos....🙏🥰🙏

Same is happening in Spain, rivers are getting totally dry. Bottle water companies and extensive farming are just drying out everything and no actions are been taken…we are also trying to push a project of permaculture, just to put our grain of sand…Initiatives like this brings me hopes ❤ Nice video ❤

Every second of this incredible video FILLED me with joy, excitement and wonder! I am so grateful to all that love, support and care for this incredible Earth!!!

I have to appreciate the mindset of this man, he is doing something that probably he is not going to see... planting trees in the next 6 to 8 years to see the results in 15 to 20 years... when you plant a tree, you're planning for the future 💚

As someone who dreams of buying a little house with a garden i can turn into a little permaforest for myself and future family AND who also listens to Sadhguru on the regular since years ago: This was a beautiful and enlightening introduction and explanation of this project!!! Thank you Andrew!! Loved learning and listening about it from multiple perspectives and the people involved. Wonderful! This inspires and gives hope. I hope you can reach more people and specially younger ones that are getting more involved to heal and go forward on this planet.

Nothing brings tears of joy like watching these landscape regeneration projects. Bless Sadhguru and all those involved, in my heart I know there is hope for humanities future. Ohm shanti.

I love that there is such a communal effort happening in India. I wish that in the U.S. there were movements like this. It takes everyone working together to have real change. Even on suburban plots it doesn't have to be pristine grass only. We could all be planting native trees and shrubs to benefit wildlife and everyone. We need a big movement to reduce lawn and plant more trees. It is happening but not on the scale it needs to be.

I love this, BUT they have to avoid having tree monoculture areas. You need diverse forests, otherwise if a parasite comes that likes one particular tree, everything is gone. This happened in Europe & North America with their re-greening projects

Great things happening in India! 🇨🇦

Inthe way information is presented to us in this age, it is very easy to fall into the doom mentality when we see climate catastrophes almost daily in the news, and fatalistic reports year after year. Your channel is a beacon of light in all the doom and gloom. It actually makes me hopeful about the future of our planet, seeing all the wonderful people and incredible project you put into the light. THANK YOU!!!!

You are one of the most inspirational people I've ever seen. The work you've done, and what everyone else you've shown, has made possible gives me great hopes for the future! Truly has given me a life long mission of restoring nature, in even bigger (and dare I say bolder) ways imaginable.

This is excellent! What is equally important ensuring that these trees survive, countless trees that are planted in reforestation projects end up neglected and die.

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 UKposts 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.

Sadhguru is amazing individual Thankfully due to technology I was able to discover him All the way here in Texas Its because of people like Sadhguru and Andrew Ive been able to learn so much in such a short time

Not much of a follower of Sadhguru but this I like. We should do this all over India.

It is important to plant native , useful trees, which can be slow yo grow, but allow undergrowth naturally. Well done.

Awesome video! Thank you for going out in person to film this! Without these videos, tons of people including myself, would have no idea the amount of work and effort going into these new projects around the world.

I love you fellas so much! (and all the ladies involved, too) Thank you All!

Very impressive. Thank you for creating and sharing these inspiring videos.

Man, just found this channel today and I'm already watching it for hours, and I don't have any real relation with agricultural or nature ocupations. Thank you for sharing with the world that there are people all around that still cares for things bigger than them and that give up of everything to make these things real.

The tip about humans protecting what they have an emotional attachment to was very intriguing.

Sadhguru is the visionary we need everywhere ❤

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.

Excellent video. i know im repeating myself but you have to visit gujarat. it used to be an arid state- considered a basket case for agriculture. But now is an agriculture superpower and has a transformed landscape!

He is so wise! Amazing project and he is right in the urgency, they have done a lot but is not enough… we desperately need more trees…

Andrew will you be doing a video in the Ganges river cleaning project? I saw a video on it on the UN UKposts channel but interested to see the projects effects from your point of view. Loved the video as always!

Your videos are always so well edited and produced. Thank you for always showing such positive content.

We should all do more to plant more trees and seeds instead of waiting for "governments" to action it through their corporate systems. I have planted 60 odd trees over the last three years, we can all do this!

We need this in the states.You should start it!I would follow on my land.

Great content as always Andrew! So glad to learn about all the Indian initiatives regarding large and small scale nature restauration using permaculture concepts! Also some wise words shared throughout this video - if only more would see and understand what we are dealing with! Keep up the good work, much love from Germany!! ❤

Planting is not a big task, taking care of them is a big task

Thank you for showing this project Andrew. This project is just SO inspiring……on every single level…I cannot list them all but such a positive cultural thing….giving trees to wedding guests to plant❤ subsidised saplings ❤all the layers of plants ❤planted together and protecting the soils’s moisture content…..❤ “first comes the forest then comes the river” ❤mulch from their trees and biomass as fertility rather than fertilisers ……❤soil protection from the filtered light through the shaded canopy ❤ multiple harvests and uses and the farmers and families are happy and the environment is restored..win…win…. Is there a habitat component for wildlife restoration around reserves and national parks too?

Truer words have never been spoken. Let’s grow people ✌️😎

Brilliant - Thank you for this follow up and an in depth look at the success of Sadhguru's project

Actually this project is the third largest tree planting program. The largest is Africa’s Great Green Wall Project is the largest with an embankment of trees being planted to act as a barrier to stop the encroachment of the Sahara Desert. The second largest is a similar bulwark being planted in China to stop the spread of the Gobi desert. All three are all beautiful and inspiring projects in this time of Climate Change.

It might sound like a big number but in the relatively small country of Norway we have over the last 100 years roughly tripled our tree population naturally. We have roughly 5.3 billion more trees now than 100 years ago.

Bro i amaze with your commitment I'm going to leave my city work and wanna do my ancestors land turning in to the green cover many people like me run from village for the same drought reason but now i understand running from problem is not the solution i saw my village river flooding when it was 2009/10 after that i never saw that phenomena again. I am done with city life. And thank you for your constant work towards mother nature. 🤝👍🙏

Thank you so much for this beautiful useful video!!! We hope that this project can grow and create new possibilities for all countries in the world!!! Everyone leave a like and comment, to bring this amazing content to many people!!! Thanks again!

This is my favourite channel on UKposts ❤❤❤

"Three days without water, will water become your god?" THAT IS AWESOME

"Wedding tree" is an excellent idea, 🌲🌳Kudos to Andrew 🌴🎄... your new subscriber here. Keep up the good work.

This is a very important project. From a humanitarian, environmental, and historical perspective. It inspires meaning, joy, and belonging. I'm very happy to financially support this project.

Thank you so much Andrew for creating this video of the largest reforestation project in the world! Cauvery Calling succes shows that if there is ample food and water where people live there is no need to migrate. Gratitude to Sadhguru and to all those involved in making Cauvery Calling a success♥🙏! This amazing success story has paved the way for other nations to emulate from. Rivers, Soil, Environment are our true lifelines. They are the source of our nourishment our survival. It is our generational responsibility to hand over a flourishing flora and fauna to our children for their survival! Let us continue to support Cauvery Calling and Save Soil movement in our own way to avert food and water shortage, climate and migration crisis🙏!

Nature is the most advanced technology.

Great idea! Maybe the extra moisture from the trees evaporation will help out the Magnetic Field Shield

This is awesome. Thanks for making this! #SaveSoil

Another great video! I watch all your videos and many others on this subject.Thanks!

Kudos to India for this wonderful project! Hope that every country will follow your steps in recovering our earths' ecological problem which is happening right now such as global warming and drought.

Hi Andrew, you are doing a great job educating us about environment friendly agriculture. Please consider also hiring someone to translate these videos into Hindi or Tamil or other Indian languages so that more local farmers can learn from your videos. Thanks and my best wishes for your future endeavours!!

I'm liking this Sadhguru guy. He presents himself like a religious leader, but everything he says makes perfect sense even if you're nonreligious. And perfect sense in general.

Great video! Everyone in this vid knows what they're talking about. It is good to have people like Sadhguru, who take the long view of things, instead of concerning themselves only with short-term profits. The land there looks amazingly fertile, even though people have lived here in high population for thousands of years. That doesn't happen by accident!

This is beautiful. If possible please make a video after a year or two to show the progress as well. Thank you

Now this is a real solution. The root issue is people's apathy towards nature. Get them invested in nature and give them resources to improve their circumstances, and they will protect the land. Every country needs to take notes!! I mean, there is also the issue of mega corporations creating harmful waste and emissions, but this video proves there are ways to improve the environment that isn't solely focusing on holding the biggest corporations accountable. We need to be doing both!

#SaveSoil.. Let's make it happen... Thanks for the sharing bro.

Yet another amazing & inspiring video. ❤ Namaste ✨🙏🏻✨

Save Our Soil 🌱 Let Us Make It Happen 🙏

Eden Reforestation has planted 1/2 billion trees, Ecosia has planted over 175 million trees. Many have contributed to reforesting Earth. It as altered our planet's climate, already. Give acknowledgment to everyone involved. Thanks, and keep up the good work.

Andrew meeting Sadhguru....isnt it just wonderful.❤❤

Amazed as I am by the project, I was so interested to see the children playing in the river. They were playing a game that I played here in England in the early 1960s. We called it "Polly-on-the-Mopstick" and had to be careful because our teachers banned it as being dangerous. I wonder what the children in India call it?

14:31 The best tree planting system explained 👍👍👍

IDK about the concept of cutting all the trees down and starting over every 20 years. It seems to me like it'd make more sense to continually plant a few trees every year, and then after 20 years, you start cutting a few trees every year. Then you keep the benefits of having trees and have that additional income constantly.

Best documentary for #savesoil and #cauverycalling so far. I couldn't hold back tears at some points while watching the documentary.

Save the planet.🌍Plant more trees.🌲🌵🌴🎄

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?

beautiful , made me tear up!

Amazing content. Heartwarming & Inspiring. Thank you.

Given that we can plant conservatively more that 5 Trillion trees on our planet and that if even half of the population would plant one tree we would have double that amount, 2.42 Billiion is barely starting the restoration of our forests. It is a step in a positive direction though. Thank you for sharing.

I have been following Sadhguru for a while and I just started watching your channel, funny how different threads 🧵 of life come together! I super loved your video! And glad India 🇮🇳 is doing such an amazing job on restoring there water sheds and their vegetation!!

Love the message would love to hear from some of the locals too.

Great to see the community involved to plant trees and look after the land!!!

Dear Andrew, Heartiest Thanks for this so worthy task you are dealing with...to protect our Mother Earth...Blessings for Isha Foundation and many others around the world...🙏❤️🌄

This is amazing!

We really need this to happen in southern Europe I honestly think there is going to be huge droughts in the coming decades in these areas

I just love your videos so much. Brings tears of happiness to my eyes and hope for the Human race and our planet :)

Im convinced that trees are why rain happens’ something in the temperature around the trees if there are lots of trees of course will make it rain, that’s why deserts don’t have rain’ so every country that has had their forests cut down that has been affected by climate changes is derectly connected to the forests being taken out’ so those companies that cut the trees down should be charged with environmental damage to those countries. As far as trees being planted India proves that if you take care of the trees properly they will grow into a forest. So countries that film tree planting but never show the forest after have not carried through with watering and care of the tiny plants.

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.

Happy to subscribe. Thank you for good content which is inspiring.

Love the attitude... India just quietly saving the world while we fuss about

I cannot even begin to express the inspiration and hope that your videos give to me. Thank you so much!!!! So many thoughts, ideas and options to ponder over for my learning and projects I am looking to design & put into action. Thank you!!! --Tess

Following this channel from long time.... I always thought he is going to upload videos about Isha foundation one day... Finally it happened....

India is going at the right pace. Why rush to our demise? We should all enjoy the journey of saving our generation from extinction. There’s a saying in my mother tongue, ຢາກໄວໃຫ້ຄານ ຢາກນານໃຫ້ແລ່ນ=If you want to go fast, crawl; If you want to go slow, run! #SaveSoil

Excellent content production. Very informative.

Thank you Modiji and thank you sadguru ✝️☪️☸️🕉 we all should work for our country and world

returing to an old system of agriculture cant happen top down by a government. it can only happen bottom-up from the people choosing themselves to make a change

So inspiring to see this movement blossom 🙏🙏🙏💙💙💙⚘️⚘️⚘️

Thank you. Save Soil! Lets make it happen 🙏💙💚

I have shared this channel too, I think you should hit 1M sir, please share this channel.

Thank you for all your wonderful informative videos. I would love to see a video or series of videos dedicated to living fences. In many of your videos showing us successful creations of food forests you always start by creating a living fence but I have great difficulty in finding information on what kinds of plants ( besides willows) are good for creating that barrier. Not all fences serve the same purpose, some might serve as a wind barrier others against predators or other animals who just want to munch on our plants. Some will probably be better for soaking up water in floods regions while others might be good for bringing up water to the surface in dryer regions, etc, etc. Sometimes you probably just need something fast. All I can find are about decorative or privacy fences....nothing specific for the starting of my own food forest.

Thanku ❤
