- The Banni Grasslands in Kutch, in Gujarat span over 3000 sqkm. These grasslands are home to a pastoral community called Maldahri. But in the 1960s, the government wanted to protect this region from salinity ingress from the Rann of Kutch and dropped millions of seeds of an exotic species called Prosopis Juliflora from helicopters.
Since then Prosopis Juliflora has overtaken the native grasses in the area. The locals call this tree Crazy B - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Good video. I wany to request my fellow Indians and the Govt, never ever plant any exotic species. Always plant indigenous species of India like Neem, Badam and Ashoka plants. Even Hybrid plants affect our soil and ecology.

In Tamilnadu out of 33 districts 27 districts are severely affected by this ghost of all plants
In UP as well every where I see this Babool and Eucalyptus.. was this a planned action to destroy our ingenuous Plants and Trees.
the government seems 100% to blame for this one
बन्नी को मूलभूत परिस्थिति में लाने की सहजीवन संस्था बहुत हि बढ़िया काम कर रही है और इसमें उसे सफलता भी काफी मिली है सही दिशा में कार्य कर रहे सहजीवन ट्रस्ट को लाख लाख अभिंदन और शुभकामनाएं अगर इसी रफ्तार से संस्था और काम किया तो 1960 के दशक वाली बन्नी अब दूर नहीं है
Hindi ka itna accha uccharan kahi nahi suna pahle :) Too good.
आपसे हौसला बढ़ा। आपका धन्यवाद। देखना जारी रखे। 🙏
we have the same problem in Somalia. the tree spreads through livestock. when they eat its leaves, they cannot digest so they excrete. the feces fertilize the seed to it grows quickly. the plant is water intensive so it will not let any other vegetation grow nearby. it is very difficult to eradicate.
How about killing those invading plants? chopping the trees and burning them..
Then plant the grass.you need..
I dont know about soils or cattle.. but if a plant is harming the soil of my cattle, i kill it..
Yea I am from the Driest state of India namely ( Rajasthan ) but being known as dry state then also this species have spread like wildfire and they look so bad that on seeing then I always try to cut them but how so ever you cut them they regrow more quickly
Only uprooting the trees is the solution. If you cut it, it keeps on growing back all the time.
Rajasthan govt has ordered to uproot all these
@@menyu1989 yes but I doubt the process with lack of proper planning and implementation also I think the process will the totally into corruption and it will be a major defeat until all the people of Rajasthan unite on this issue and fight with all their might.
Also their must be a positive act of planting indigenous/local plants in a proper way so that they can survive with low maintenance and don’t have a negative impact on the environment
BTW I’m also from Rajasthan😊
Tragic! How moronic our policy makers are!
Millions and millions of wood crafts can be made from it however
Mouth Eater at the expense of ppl n animals life, and wat do u ye that wood for when the habitat is lost, n see hw much of unique natural habitat has been lost n u still want Ur wood?
@@everettduncan7543 yes also it’s wood is very strong and flexible
Govt should do something ,India is at the highest risk of desertification
Thank you for valuable comment. Share our 🎥. 🙏
Salute to that ngo hope that i can work with them in future
देशी बीज प्रयोग करें भारतीय भूमि को बचाएं अन्यथा भारतीय बीज और हम सब भी गायब हो जाएंगे 🙏🙏🙏
Great work. Absolutely love the small documentary
Thank you keep watching, we will produce more..., 🙏
Love these short documentaries.
वन विभाग ही जिम्मेदार है वो वनीकरण के लिए कुछ भी नही करता
Rightly said. Please share our video and keep watching... 🙏
Yes offcourse they are responsible for it because they are not aware to peoples to save nature.
Vote for knowledgeable people
Many thanks
Very nice keep making these videos.
Thank you
mangrove plants can help to prevent desertification of soil .
That is why we should not stop original flow of river because it rejuvenate the whole ecosystem through out it's course.
i am from Kutch, Gujarat, we call this tree as Kajhada in our local language and i can assure that this tree is a nuisance. the legend says that when Indira Gandhi came to visit Kutch once she threw the seeds of this plant from her helicopter and thus started the invasion of Kajhada tree. today this tree dominates the natural world in our region u can see this tree every where. it can grow any where and i liked that (down to earth) made a video of it. but rather on focusing on the impact of this tree on its natural world it focused it on the impact on peoples lives. the maldhari are not a local residents of kutch i think they come from Mehsana district of gujarat where they are well known for their buffalo farming. the original inhabitants of kutch who are involved in cattle grazing are people of Rabari community who have dominated this region in animal husbandry since a very long time. they have cows, camels, sheeps, goats & buffaloes they roam in the whole region from farm to farm with their herds of those animals.
Very informative Bharat!!
Documentary lacked seriousness in content, it could have been better
Propaganda to absolve locals from acting and taking responsibility on a local level...
Thank you for like our video.
Sir kya hm iis jagah karanj k ped laga sakte ..kyoki karanj nitrogen fixation k saath baarish laane me bhi madad kr sakta h.
Sir iis jagah k baare me or jaanana chahte h.
Without assessment of land soil and environment, can't say. Grass was Naturs gift, we destroyed.
Similar to our problems with measqite, retama, and wisatche, the only way to slow it down or keep it in check is to harvest the wood and include goats in your herds.
Thay weed cuts the teeth of the goats
Nice video 😀
A very good informative coverage of real issues faced by people of Banni grasslands, along with reasons and possible solutions.
Keep it up 👍🏻
🙏 thank you.
Government has to repeat the same procedure for native species.
For the purpose of water I think it would need a artificial canal for year round water availability
Hats off
Good job
Thank you. Keep watching.. 🙏
Same problem as water hyacinth in Bengal.
Hamare dungarpur rajasthan me bhi is vilayti babool ne tabahi machadi hai
Rajasthani isliye gali dete hai... 😂😂
Babool de diye hai puri jammen pe....
Marusthalikaran se bchne ke liye sth pr vrsha jal store krna labhdauk ho skta he. Iske liye khule maidanon me water structure bnane aur unki medon pr deshi aur sthaniy ped paudhon, ghas, jhadiyan lgani hongi.
Iske alawa dhire dhire vilayti babool ko bhi nsht krna hoga
Ye upay samudayik str pr shuru ho skta he, bad me hi isme govt ka sath milne ki ummid rhti he
So much for good intentions. Happens everywhere.
We as a human being, raising trees and jungles at very slow rate which is catastrophic mismatch with rate of global warming. In this situation which trees are saving us? Hardy and fast growing trees like prospera jullifera, lantana, Acacia, etc. In our Marathwada region, native species are saved by the prospera jullifera known as wedi babhal I. E. Mad acasia. Wood of these trees are used for making coal in large scale. If these trees were not there, local coal mafia wood cut indigenous trees indicriminately. This is another side of prospera jullifera. However, documentary above is very wonderful and concerns highlighted are very junine. Local grasslands and foodchains are being distrurbed by the foreign species. I would also like to work with NGO like Sahjeevan who adopted very scientific and practical approach without wasting time in waiting for government assistance. Salute!
Thank you for watching.🙏
Sudhir sir what do you do otherwise am from lonavla I wanted to ask a question I have watched many a times that marathwada faces drought every year is it that sever how it is shown by media houses as they always show negative side if such condition is true what agricultural crops are done over there is there any chance of drought resistant species or why don't you grow cotton also I have watched in Israel there is water scarcity where they grow succulent aloe vera which have huge market value please do reply
Foolish decesion by government
IN GUJARATI IT IS CALLED "GANDO BAWAL " IT IS IN RAJASTHAN ALSO. .
Yes, thankyou for watching and comment. 🙏
In Rajasthan it's called buliya
This tree is crazy,it destroys and overruns everything and spreads everywhere.it's a great nuisance in our Village
Thanks for banni vizit video i"m banni men
Thi is my village
Banni ma achy grass seeds do. Banni green ho jae.
Very sad news 😣 lantana and accacia trees in western ghats of India also making bad impact to nature
Absolutely. Exotic trees harmful for our environment and and poison for resources.
Jaat nahi Jatt, maaldhari are nomadic tribes , one of which is Jatt from Sindh province , in India in kutch rajsthan they are found.
@sahjeevan trust 👍👏🙌
I don't know whether it's possible or not. According to my point of view, why cant people try starting to cut these trees one by one. It will take long time to complete but at least something will change.
#bounceback ramanad👥👥👥👥👥👥
It is quite obvious the tree is not to blame here. It is poor land management and over grazing.
Bhai pahle tree plant karo jisse nami bani rahegi aur barish hogi uske bad grass plant karo aur babool ko kat dalo
यह जो विदेशी बबूल है वह सारी नमी को सोख लेते हैं और कुछ ऐसे केमिकल जमीन में छोड़ते हैं जिनकी उपस्थिति में दूसरे पेड़ पौधे पनप नहीं पाते हैं इसीलिए पूरे क्षेत्र को बारंबार खुदाई करके यह विदेशी बबूल से मुक्त करना पड़ेगा सबसे पहले
That cross-section of soil is really depressing. It has no organic matter in it. We could be using organic wastes produced in the cities around India to ammend the soils of these regions.
One of main problems is salinity
tribe of Sindh
Gud video
Thank you
they're sindhi people?
They are the ethnic maldhari community of Gujarat
Sabhiko subidhaon ko enjoy Karna hai. Maaldhari community koi kosish Kar rahi hai kya, grassland ko banaye rakhne ke liye???
Is cutting down those exotic plants not a feasible idea? Because how much ever you try to grow grass, these exotic plants are going to kill them by sucking up water.
I agree..
देसी जाती के पशु और वन ही सही है
blindly believing american advice and so called science has destroyed lands all over india. if Bharat had been left undisturbed, she would have fed the whole world generously
This is very very sad. Hope some government representatives would come to their assistance. Please. Quickly
Governments in Kali Yuga do more harm then good. Do not mess with God's perfect creation. It will go wrong
Kudos to Sahjeevan
Thank you Gandhi parivar for more half baked ideas.
Is desh me kabhi kuch sahi kaam kyo nahi hote
What
The #bhakts are very happy I guess :P
That is a big challenge reform this cummunity
The reality is banni land is suitable for mining of minerals
Other countries do not wish your country to become sone ki chidiya
Aur political will is for some people inclined so please do not publish wrong input
What is Modi doing About it ???
SYRUS SINGH why rely on modi grow tree how much does it cost?
मोदी क्या करे ?? कांग्रेस शासन में करोड़ो जहरीले बीज बिखेर दिए गए जो आज हजारो गुना बढ़ गए,
मोदी ने ही अपने दूसरे कार्यकाल में पीपल लाइव प्रोग्राम शुरू किया इस पागल बाबुल को खत्म करने को लेकिन इतने सालों में उसका सरवाइवल हो गया है इस क्लाइमेट में , वो उल्टा पीपल की जड़ को सोख लेती है, तब रिसर्च शुरू की गई लेकिन आज तक कोई समाधान नही निकल पाया,
वैसे भी मोदी को अभी 20 साल लगेंगे कांग्रेस के कीचड़ को साफ करते
Kitne mc hote h ye log
It's hard to feel sympathy in this case. Having more trees is better to stop desertification.
And the Maldahri can rear goats instead of cattle to make a livelihood.
So why depend on grass ? why not grow fodder trees ? the more carbon is added into soil from addition of compost and dead plant material the faster is dilute the salts. perhaps create a small forest in the middle of this grassland and use the trees as food for cows.
start fermenting these leaves of these trees, so the cows can get the bacterial flora in their stomach to digest the plants.
