The 77th Van Mahotsav was celebrated in Baliguda forest range, Odisha, where 4,000 bamboo saplings were planted in the Anagul protected forest. The initiative, led by Forester Girish Chandra Sahu, prioritizes bamboo as it is a primary food source for elephants frequently moving through the area. Local representatives, students, and forest officials participated, promoting the message 'Nature First, Then Human' to emphasize forest protection amidst global climate concerns. https://odishatazanews.com/?p=207280 #creator program
