100 insect heads, ₹200: How MP’s ‘Mundmala’ is helping protect Sal forests
In a remarkable approach to pest control, forest officials in Madhya Pradesh are compensating villagers who collect Sal Borer insect heads. These heads are fashioned into garlands to deter the pest damaging Sal trees. This innovative initiative not only safeguards the forest but also empowers local communities financially while fostering their engagement in environmental conservation.
