Most of us think saving forests means planting more trees.But after more than 40 years working across India’s forests, former Principal Chief Conservator of Forests Mudit Kumar Singh has a very different perspective.In this episode of Moving Forests, Mudit Kumar Singh takes us beyond tree planting and into the much more complicated reality of forest conservation; where communities, livelihoods, mining, development, cities and governance all intersect.He shares what decades in the Indian Forest Service taught him about why forests disappear, how communities can become powerful custodians of forests, what mining can change forever, and why urban India urgently needs its own forests.This is a conversation about forests, but also about people, leadership, development and the kind of future we want to build for India.If you care about nature, wildlife, climate, or India’s future, this conversation may change the way you think about conservation.
