Maharashtra's Devrai: Where Gods Protect Nature | THT Films

Описание: Devrai - Species and Habitats Awareness Programme | The Habitats Trust Films

Devrai—a forest preserved in the name of God—represents a unique tradition where local communities conserve sacred groves through generations. These vital habitats are protected by strict rules, such as prohibiting wood removal or cattle grazing, showcasing a profound respect for nature.
This The Habitats Trust film explores Maharashtra's remarkable Devrai regions. Discover how these ancient, community-protected forests contribute to rich biodiversity and offer a powerful model for environmental conservation, rooted in centuries of spiritual wisdom.

The Habitats Trust and MahaMTB present the pioneering first-ever Marathi language video series, the 'Species and Habitats Awareness Programme'. This episode is part of a whopping 100-episode undertaking by MahaMTB, supported by The Habitats Trust, to showcase lesser-known forest and marine species in their habitats.
