The Muga Valley might look like a wild paradise: endless oaks, rolling hills, and mountain air. But for years, this valley has actually been dying inside. Generations of charcoal production have turned it into a “green desert”. It has become a dense, uniform forest that suffocates the ecosystem. There’s no water, no light, no undergrowth, and almost no wildlife. Even vultures, which are vital for keeping the ecosystem healthy, have disappeared.That’s why, together with Planet Wild, we’re thinning the canopy by cutting trees to let sunlight and moisture return, revive the undergrowth, restore soil health, and bring back the Muga River. But that’s not all! We’re also partnering to bring vultures back to the valley. Together, we’re setting up vulture decoys and building safe feeding stations to attract vultures. To track their recovery and monitor their return, we’re also tagging two individuals with GPS. All of this work will bring back vultures to the valley, restore flowing water, and allow the forest floor to thrive again.Planet Wild is building a global community of people who care deeply about the planet. Every month, they team up with a new partner organization around the world to bring back endangered species, support our oceans and restore forests. Planet Wild’s work is made possible by the contributions of its community members. All projects are documented through monthly video reports to show the community how they’re protecting nature.
