Watch this inspiring film by WRI India to learn about the transformational journey of restoring Madhya Pradesh's Sidhi district in India; a story of resilience, development, and the revitalization of hope through the power of landscape restoration. With over 100 million hectares of India's total land offering a potential for restoring forests and farmlands, scaling restoration with a landscape approach across the country can ensure prosperity for local people as well as health of our natural ecosystems. Demonstrating these benefits for people, nature and climate, Sidhi's landscape restoration shows that landscape restoration, a nature-based solution is a scalable solution in India that can help us tackle both climate and developmental challenges faced by the country. #GenerationRestoration #RestorationEconomy #LandscapeRestoration #Livelihoods #ClimateChange #CommunityLed #Agroforestry #SustainableAgriculture Dr. Ruchika Singh | Srishti Kochhar | Siddharth Edake | Jyoti Yadav | Shweta Prajapati | Anjali Rao Koppala | Meenakshi Kakar | Kritika Gadhvi
