Kurichhu valley, and smeling Forest 🔥.
It's saddeningand devastating to know the loss of Forest to fires every year. As a Forester, it's always disturbing to learn the extant of damage to the Forest and wildlife. I hope it will be contained at the earliest.

Healthy #forest for #healthy life. May this theme remind us all, the urgency of #green lungs for the browning planet.

Happy International Forest Day.
