00:05 19 years ago when we were looking for a place to plant a few trees, we accidentally found this
00:13 place called Punshilok. You can see this is all surrounded by green cover. Before, 19 years ago,
00:20 it was just very denuded and you know because of the zoom cultivation by the local encroachers.
00:28 But now it has become a very diverse and beautiful place because of our work. What we
00:35 hope to achieve from Punshilok in the future is, this is already started. Whoever comes in
00:43 contact with this place, they immediately appreciate the surrounding because it is so
00:50 near to the Imphal, but it feels like going to some kind of a big forest. We hope to establish
00:58 a very urban conservation so that people can come and learn the history, learn to identify,
01:08 bird watching and all that. Because this Langold forest range, Langold hill range is
01:16 so close to Imphal, it acts as the lungs of Imphal only.
