In coastal areas with extreme dryness, like near the Middle East, think introducing mangroves could help change the hydrological cycles. They'd be easy enough to remove as the inland areas regreen. I think it's likely that mangroves were in the Middle East/Northern Africa long ago. It's their removal that turned the Sahara into a sandpit..

I urged everyone to just read early church conquest against native European ( so called pagon) .... You will find one thing common that natives had this nice kind of coexistence with nature, worshipped nature then came barbaric abhrahmic cults and promoted " nature is for mankind to exploit" .
I'm from West Bengal (less than 100Km from the Sundarbans) and I've been an Ecosia user from before they had 1,000,000 trees. And I'm surprised and happy to see that Ecosia is having such an impact so close to home! ❤ 🌳 🇮🇳
@@Rahul_Singh100 read their message again bro. They said they're from West Bengal and didnt say theyre from sundarbans itself. Their place is just 100kms away from it, nowhere written that Sunderbans is 100km away from itself lol
Dear ecosia, and Fatima! Loved this video. I’m from India too. I would like to give you an advice, in India, a banyan tree is considered very sacred, and is rarely chopped down due to the belief that it’s home to god. Plus as you may know, banyan trees can spread big, and live long. Would love if you could help the communities india and world wide grow banyan trees
Banyan trees take a really long time! The timeline is measured in decades and even centuries! Fruit trees, especially the ones well suited tropical ones are much better suited in this case as the families stand to benefit financially, really quick and also on an ongoing basis.
Really impressed that the counter represents the surviving trees. It would have been really easy to just use the planted trees and seem more impressive but you went with the honnest approach. hats off!
I have had ecosia as my server for at least a year now but didn't know exactly how it is that they plant trees every time you use the server. It is nice to see how it actually works and especially how it enlightens and brings communities together. Thank you for this very personal account of what ecosia does.
does it? Why do people just discard rubbish in the streets then? Why do they burn plastic on street corners? Why are there so many of the world’s polluted cities in India? Why does industry dump untreated industrial waste into the holy rivers? Why are timber mafias allowed to carry on with near impunity? I love India, I’ve been around 20 times, but lets be honest, nature and environment isn’t respected and there’s remarkably little awareness over such issues.
@@arjfndoh it’s the west doing it? Not your own greedy captains of industry and politicians. Take responsibility for your actions. You can’t blame the west for everything lol. If you do, then nothing will change. Take responsibility for your actions. You’re an independent nation.
Agreed, and it makes the projects really personal as well as giving a little window on the lives of others around the world in the positive context of a thriving project and community of people.
Indian culture is a very nurturing culture. The relationship between a mother and child is the most valued relationship in Indian culture. So highly involved caregiving is the norm, in this case, it has just been directed towards trees
What truly matters is ensuring those trees thrive and survive for decades to come, truly regenerating landscape and supporting future generations’ livelihoods.
Thank you Ecosia! And especially Thank all of you good people, that use Ecosia for years and "spread the word" among your friends, colleagues and your local community. Ecosia is one of the BIG easy methods in the world, with which everyone can make a BIG positive change for nature, animals and humans.
Yeah, tree hugging helps! Trees love proper care and hugs literally. Trees are living beings, just like "pets". They can feel when somebody cares for them.
Please Ecosia! Update your browser search engine and make a big impact by planting more trees on Earth and in the Oceans. I have been using this search engine since 2021 or 2022 and I hope you guys continue to improve on fighting deforestation. God Bless!!!
I finally know what Ecosia is. I knew it related to trees but when I downloaded the app years ago there was no information on how to engage with it. I certainly didn’t know it was a search engine.
This is particularly interesting and uplifting, thank you! Yes I'm interested in other videos like this. Bravo to Malati Di, Aurup and the others. They make a beautiful work. Very inspiring.
Fatima, thank you for all that you and everyone at Ecosia and the people in the planting places are doing. I hope all of you are having a wonderful day. Sheila Mink in New Mexico
Wow Thank you Ecosia for showing these. We here in India have different relation to trees. We have a different season for rain Monsoons, which to my knowledge only present in India. But the last 50 years have been very brutal, deforestation, commercial mining, climate change and rising sea level has taken the Sundarbans for a hit. Also these wisdoms by Malati di and Debashis da were generally common sense earlier, but as we become more urban driven, we are really forgetting what plants & trees can do for us. Its just recenly when planting or "bagan bari" has become a fashion here in Bengal. Many elderly people after retiring are growing trees or plants in their house as a part time hobby. We have also started distributing trees, saplings, plants in schools so that there is a lot of awareness of what is what. A single man cannot change our world but the whole mankind has to come together. Thank u for highlighting the good work ❤
Your videos are becoming better and better. I really got a feeling of how it's like to live in West Bengal and I love that. Thank you Fátima and Ecosia team!
I had goosebumps whilst watching 👀 attentively this gorgeous video. Thanks for your work and phenomenal 🙌 ❤️ 🌴🌱🌴🪴🙏🏻That's love to nature. I have 5 bananaplants on my balcony accompanying me for over 15 years and my living room is green planted and my balcony filled with vegetable plants❤️. Blessings 🙌 to the women and all of your Ecosia team! ♡ cordial wishes Chris 🌹🐢
this wonderful stories about how restauration of nature is deeply linked to restoration of humble people lives, just make me SO HAPPY!!! ----- GOD BLESS YOU ECOSIA , FOR ALL THE GOOOD YOU BRING TO THE PLANET AND, THEREFORE, TO PEOPLE LIVES!!!!
As long as the plants are not alien to the existing ecosystem in these regions and are useful, not harmful, you are doing an amazing job, encouraging people to grow trees in their yards and gardens. Thank you!
Hello Fatima, Really amazing video and very inspiring! One suggestion if I may, please would it be possible to get your partners to not use plastic bags for saplings? The Mangrove reforestation programme in South India use seedling bags made of palm leaves. Best wishes from an Ecosia user!
Hey there, Fátima here. Thanks for watching! We did a whole video about the use of plastic in tree planting projects with some context. It's not that easy to get rid of it right away: th-cam.com/video/2P-whKjrWEk/w-d-xo.html Thanks for the comment, though, we are working with our partners to find solutions to this where possible!
9:08 The firewood thing is because the Modi government has this scheme (Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Free Gas Yojana) where they specifically give free LPG connections to women in rural areas. This has really helped us combat not only the firewood problem, but also helped us reduced the injuries and smoke problems that happen because of using firewood.
That is the real key: "These people here are not just coworkers. They're actual friends." People really seem to underestimate the power that friendships and communities have to get things done in the west, because I think everyone's trying to separate themselves from work and hence each other. As mentioned in the video, they're all personally invested (not talking about money here!) in the project and they care deeply about it hence their work is thorough and therefore better!
I am from India that place she is talking about it's a forming area so the plant survived. But plants or good for the plant so good luck with your work.
After watching the video it is clear that Malati-di has a lot of love for just everyone which includes the trees. And it is simply that love which the trees receive which helps them grow and survive. We can give it scientific reasoning but putting it simply this is how it is.
I'm from that area Gosaba island . But i live in different area of the state West Bengal but often visit there. Yeah it's kinda yearly thing where government, local community, schools , local government donates trees .

@Ecosia the plastic bag you are using is not biodegradable , its banned in india , probably consider moving to Clay or laminated paper or other bags.
Glad to see the trees aren’t just helping the planet but the communities they’re planted in

One of the simplest answer is - our culture teachers us how to respect nature. so its natural for us to save trees, ...
