300,000,000 people live in India in close connection with nature. Their lives depend on the resources provided by forests. Forests provide them with wood for building homes, fuel, food and materials for industrial production. Fruit trees play a very important role here. In 2019, Cyclone Fani swept through East India and immediately went down in history as one of the most destructive in the history of India. It is estimated that the cyclone destroyed up to 10,000,000 trees. Hundreds of thousands of people building their livelihoods in the forests are now struggling with a lack of work, food and livelihoods. The reconstruction project in India focuses on the Odisha region, which is most affected.
