Meet Jaga Bhai! The one who keeps our camp together in a certain sense.
He belongs to #Nolia community, a coastal nomad group from Andhra that keeps travelling from one village to another. They settled at Astaranga and have been living here for a long time now. (1/2)

We ditched the printed flex and painted our own poster for the plantation event!
@panchhi_lens says, apart from this being eco-sensitive, it also gave her immense satisfaction while making something with her own hands. ❤️
#MangrovesMatter#OdishaFoundationDay#OdishaDay
Involving people’s power for conservation is the most effective way to fight climate change. Well done 👏 we will be planting 50,000+ saplings this year.
I couldn't go into the mud much as the other amazing male members did (because I forgot to take an extra pair of clothes).
BUT, I did learn about mangroves & how they are planted, I did plant a couple of them, befriended mini crabs, & realized conservation is no easy job. ❤️
Celebrated the Utkal Divas with @gilehrio by planting Mangroves in the Kadua River Estuary and Wetland area in Odisha.
Despite the heavy rains, passionate nature lovers and youth participated enthusiastically. We thank everyone for contributing towards(1/2)
#Mangroves#Odisha
Our #UtkalaDibasa was amazing!
We planted mangroves with @OdishaSeaTurtle (even while @SoumyaMarineWL wasn’t here, he supported all the way through!).
#Odisha has a rich #mangrove cover - an essential natural heritage. We loved celebrating this unique essence of our state!
Nothing prettier than these mud-laden hands, fighting through the tough mushy lands, going knee deep (even deeper at times) to plant mangroves.
They are the pride of our state. ❤️

#Mangroves, salt-tolerant trees that grow in intertidal zones, are unique and vital ecosystems that provide a wide range of benefits and play a crucial role in supporting biodiversity, protecting coastlines, and mitigating climate change.
#Odisha has a rich tapestry of it! (1/n)
Like the myriad colours of India's rich culture and heritage, may your life be filled with diversity, love, and uncountable shades of joy. 🌹
A very Happy Holi from Gilehrio family! 😍

Arribada is going on!! I'm really sad that everyone forgot the first community individual behind #Rushikulya Arribada Conservation and history didn't mention him.
