What a lovely comment ,ve heard this thought before but still loved it and this is a very good video ,seeing it second time around ,can watch it many more times.
Wise words indeed. Work in harmony and intelligence with Nature and it will reward us back many times over. Act stupidly and it will punish us big time. Ask any American farmer or their descendants who remember the period of the Dust Bowl on the mid-Western prairies of the USA or Canada in the 1930s. A man-made cataclysmic environmental tragedy that caused wholesale misery for thousands. Read John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath". A wonderful poignant tale set in those times, and what incredible trauma it caused a whole community. Ignorance, especially of ourselves and our place in the natural order of things, is the enemy of life, prosperity and reason.
Piyush is the biggest cheater of all . . Water he stopped is belongs to the nearby village . Water that he blocked never went to sea.it was recharging nearby village land water ..he collected money from SCF people people and created a supply chain for this furniture business ..
I love this. It's convinced me I need to stop procrastinating and start digging a rain catchment pond in my suburban property in Durban, South Africa, to create a small wetland! That ecosystem will be perfect for crops like taro and the beautiful lotus, as well as wildlife. Water is Life. Treat it with respect like a friend or family member, and it will stay close and repay you with more than you will ever need. See how water has already blessed Piyush Manush and many collaborators for their hard work.
@@juliancepedamasmelacoop985 that's not mutually exclusive, but local or non-governmental initiatives (which exist and make a substantial contribution) are simply relevant. In other countries, governmental inertia is one of the key factors hindering such projects.
@@juliancepedamasmelacoop985 A simple google search shows how Piyush Manush has been harassed by govt - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piyush_Manush In India, people wrongly prosecuted by the govt also get publicity due to support from opposition.
And with big water retention, rain can become more regular! Climate change has a bunch of feedback loops, but saving the planet can also use feedback loops. I love it.
Respect for what you have accomplished. Deeds, NOT just words!. Also, thank you for the English translation. It makes your work understandable to many people in drought-prone regions like ours!. ¡Saludos desde Mexico! :-)
More than half of the population of India is busy blaming the government for its incompetence but we as citizens fail to understand the power we hold,we aren’t ready to take a single step towards progression of our nation and here is Mr.Piyush being an epitome of an ideal citizen.
@@sweetness6048 it absolutely is though, I almost want to be skeptical too, since it feels like a painfully simple solution. But it *is* a painfully simple solution. This type of land management is being shown to increase income of not only the local area but extending out into the larger area through simply increasing yeilds with different management.
Magnificent! Mr Manush, you have created a wonderful project and example to us all. Keep it up! You are an inspiration my friend. Helping our planet and reducing poverty at the same time. Thank-you.
you guys are the real heroes... hats off to you guys and more power to you ... you guys created model for whole india to follow where it is enough rainfall but in summer season face the calamity of drought . Vadakkam...
SO COOL! I have fallen down a youtube hole of desertification agriculture and reforestation and it has been so hopeful to see people working the land well and re-cultivating areas that were once barren!
Love my India and love it's people! This is such a cool concept and hope this catches on with communities throughout India. If we could make it a self sustaining eco system then it has the potential to have a postive effect on the climate as well. God bless our brilliant people!
This is a fantastic idea. A situation where there is only win. More Water, More Green Cover, Livelihood to many and good harvest. This is just brilliant !
Very Happy that someone is thinking about our future, or else every one is busy in making their needs forgetting that generations to come need the same thing, This idea was always in me to plant more trees, truly I also want to be a part of such organisations and work for the nature,our mother continuosly protect us and serve us without any thing in return.
This is hugely inspirational! The benefit to the community is hugely beneficial! 3x the harvest? Having drinking water in time of sever drought? What's not to like?
Absolutely wonderful! It seems counter-intuitive that planting more trees increases the available water, but it's true. I know this from planting trees in my own back yard. My most successful combination is a fig tree with sweet potatoes underneath it. The fig tree shades the sweet potatoes when they start growing, and then the sweet potato vines spread out and keep the ground cool and moist even in the middle of summer.
A very inspiring story. We, humans, have to realize that we belong to the mother nature, not vice versa. And we have to learn to respect it. Then the rest is good, beautiful, and satisfying. Thanks for sharing.
You had created an example in a small scale what our country needs, to be agriculturally sound, avoiding poverty. u are true leader what our goverment needs
The concept of greenery is amazing,This is necessary for our feature living,otherwise like nowadays we suffering for drinking water,in future there will be a big problem waiting for us,Oxygen ....with out oxygen ,everbody knows what will be happen,Just example our Capital Delhi....My Kerala is rich with greenery but peoples are destroying that,Mining and destroying forests are common thing in nowadays........I am happy to see these guys thoughts.......Great human beings.....Big salute......Jai Hind
I'm living in northern of Thailand. We are facing the problem of extremely hot weather in summer. also flooding occurs in the rainy season and gets worse every year.The problem arises from cutting trees to grow short-term crops that sell quickly. Now local people are becoming more aware and paying more attention to planting forests to reduce heat. and absorb water during floods- I admire what you are doing in India. You're on the right track.
A really great story and the science behind it is the same as I was taught in school in the 90s. Its really not complicated but it does need someone with vision, dedication and personality to get people to try it. I hope lots of other places follow his example because if we wait for governments to help, regardless of nationality, we will all be waiting a long time.
A very inspiring model.. Similar efforts can be replicated on other drought prone areas. Its shows how sustainable development and good economy can be achieved through water conservation.
This is very interesting, I live in the US in the southwestern state of Arizona, Majority of it is desert, watching these videos gives me some ideas of how to regreen my land, On average we receive about 13 inches or 33 cm's a year of rain, our winter rains a generally more gentle than our summer rains (we have a monsoon like season here) where the storms hit hard and fast. I love watching these videos.
We need more people like Piyush. Great work sir. Very joyful and delighted to see a person who is very much concerned about the environment. Great respect to Mr Piyush again. Live long. Love from Tamilnadu.
That's really amazing hope so more people will understand the importance of conserving water and growing forest it will help them nd mother nature will also grow..🙏
Truly, the journey to a thousand mile begins with a single step. Thank you very much for sharing and documenting your journey with the forest. God bless!
“Profit means meeting needs, not greed.” -Piyush Manush Gorgeous! That is a powerful, transformative sentence. That idea opens a path in economic thought towards sustainability.
Well done ,my brother. Your unselfish foresight to help humanity is wonderful. God bless you. This should be copied by every community on earth. The government should compensate all of you for your sacrifice. That will encourage other communities to emulate your example
It's so amazing that once people start to treat the land properly it heals itself very quickly. They started planting trees and then trees started growing on their own. Birds and other animals that used to live there come back. It's a shame that the people who are doing this are small in comparison to the rest of the country. Once people see that area you would think they would implement the same plan or the government would do this on a larger scale.
This is so heartening to see. On the flipside, these are more of exceptions rather than normal occurrences in India. Imagine such initiatives across the country and our basic needs for water would be solved without any intervention by inept and corrupt politicians!
When trees are planted in an area, they act as water catchment for that area reducing surface flow. ... Besides, the roots of plants grow deep into the soil, and this helps break and loosen soil particles to ensure that water seeps even deeper into the soil.
Such an impressive project! I am still pretty young but i hope someday that i will be able to be part of a project like this. Props to you all for taking action🖐
People like Piyush Sir must be in the Agriculture Or Environmental Board of the country.It will be a huge help for farmers.The efforts he is taking is inspirational.Wish that affluent people also contribute so that it will be easy for people like Piyush Sir doesn't have to think about financial resources.
We as part of the society are very grateful to these gentlemen and their efforts. So proud of you Sir and your team. May God bless you all. Also it would be helpful if you could share the link to shop for your products. Thank you in advance.
Very pleasing to see. "It can supply peoples' needs, not their greed." A great quote and a heavy black mark against corrupt leaders who greedily gather to themselves the fruits of others' hard work.
Hats off to you, Sir. It's really needed to make India a hub of undiginious species in such areas: and you have proved this ,, Thank you on the behalf of all Indians 🙏
30 variety planted.
100 came on their own.
When we give to nature, nature gives us back much more.
What a lovely comment ,ve heard this thought before but still loved it and this is a very good video ,seeing it second time around ,can watch it many more times.
True
On a scale of one to 'get a life', how lame am I for almost tearing up when they said that......................?
Wise words indeed. Work in harmony and intelligence with Nature and it will reward us back many times over. Act stupidly and it will punish us big time.

Its called pollinisation
There are People who talk about Climate change and deforestation and collects funds just to talk.
and Then We have Mr. Piyush who brings the Change.
Where is greta ?
Everyone is needed.
@Paramdeep Grewal haha and telling us "how dare you". Mr Piyush walks the talk
Piyush is the biggest cheater of all . . Water he stopped is belongs to the nearby village . Water that he blocked never went to sea.it was recharging nearby village land water ..he collected money from SCF people people and created a supply chain for this furniture business ..
Both are needed: the talker is needed to rise awareness; they are like loud speakers. The doers come after with their enthusiasm

Yes first thing is water, it can be harvested just about anywhere with new knowledge, good luck.
Its heartening to see that people are taking inspiration and following this technique to keep our ecosystem alive.
Then go do it.
update us how it goes, interested to see if you can persuade your locals.
Deon Braun Yes. If each of us just do something consciously, we can change the planet

"PROFIT WITHOUT GREED" Loved it.
This is what being educated does to a person. :)
P.S: Being Schooled and Being Educated is two different things.
Yep, if we don't get "educated,"
we'll get "schooled."
U r absolutely right
It's like Mahatma Gandhi once said: "There is enough for everybody's needs, but not for everybody's greed"
Not a single person with college dept involved.....
If education doesn't enlighten us
It's called as schooling
Love the mindset. Saving the Earth, caring community and wildlife. He is the man whom the World Needs. Cheers !!!
Two key takeaways:
1. Sustainable conservation with a tangible profit motive
2. Not relying on the government for all your solutions.
Of course the government supports these initiatives, why do you think it has this publicity?

Shows how nature produces plenty and you don’t have to tear it down. Farmers in the Amazon rainforest should learn from this video.
They don't , Amazon is water rich
Nature spoon feed them with rainforest

Great efforts by Piyush Manush.. Hats-off to the single man and the support from his family as well as friends!👍🏻
i was looming fot his full name. Can't find it in the video. thank you
Plant a lot of fruit trees and you'll have a ton of wildlife move into that forest as well.

I stay going down this hole , it’s a good one tho!
Down to Earth has always taken up environment concern very seriously. I have been a reader of its magazine for more than 2 years now. Great work!!
Love you Piyush! May God give you healthy and long life!
