In February the Trust will host Somil Daga, ecological gardener and a native plant enthusiast, as part of an exchange facilitated by the International National Trusts Organisation. 

Somil’s presentation celebrates the idea of embracing the wilderness, creating sustainable landscapes in the face of climate change, and how habitats can be created for plants and animals in highly populated urban environments.

This talk will take you on a journey of restoring the wilderness of two heritage landscapes in the desert cities of Jodhpur and Nagaur in Rajasthan, India. During this talk, Somil will share his experiences working as Park Director at Rao Jodha Desert Rock Park in Jodhpur and the Project Director at Abha Mahal Bagh in Nagaur. 

This talk is part of the Intersectional Ecology talk series at the Geoffrey Bawa Space. Somil’s talk is supported by a grant from the International National Trusts Organisation.
