The Living Bridges of Meghalaya

[Kgal]

These people in northern India have developed a relationship with tree roots to help their environment survive the monsoon rains. This video shows a father teaching his daughter how to gently care for the tree's roots so she and generations to come will be safe and thrive.
I wish I had her job.

Look how happy he is showing her exactly what to do. Look how happy she is as she's learning from him.

Sustainability in action. Harmony with Nature. Love for one's community.

It is amazing - isn't it?

I watched it again this morning with a smile of wonder on my face.
I noted I had it wrong about father and daughter. It was an uncle teaching his niece. But no matter.

I saw more trees just existing out, seemingly, almost in mid air above the water.
Really beautiful place.

Thanks for the comments guys!
