We must actively safeguard our local traditions, medicinal plants, and vital forest trees to ensure our heritage and well-being endure.

In our jungle villages, we cherish and pass down traditional crops like Majeri, along with the knowledge of local herbs and cultural practices, for the benefit of future generations.
