What looks like a natural disaster is often a man-made tragedy. In Darjeeling, deforestation and rising temperatures are turning the ground beneath our feet into a sinking reality. Ashok from Kalej Valley is witnessing his home wash away, but he’s also pointing us toward the solution.

When we strip the mountains of their trees, the soil loses its grip. By planting even one sapling a year and restoring our natural drains, we can anchor the earth again.

We can’t change the past, but we can change the landscape. It starts with us.

Watch the full story from the front lines.
