A heartfelt gratitude to honorable minister of forest and environment Sanjay Yadav for attending our plantation today along with Ajay Kumar Mishra, Head of Division forest office mahottari and Pitambar Mahato, head of land reforms division Mahottari.

It was an absolute honor to welcome and host Baroness Hayman, UK Minister, DEFRA (Department of Food, Environment and Rural Affairs) at our rewilding project in Swayambhu. She planted native trees in our pocket food forest and we had a long conversation about animal welfare, culture and the ways both of our countries are similar in terms of understanding the importance of rewilding degenerated spaces. We started out pocket forest at swayambhu in 2023 and throughout these 20 months the forest has grown beautifully. The first successful model at swayambhu , this initiative has opened doors to other collaborations and other organizations to bring back the biodiversity to the region.
