Episode 7: Journey for Learning Swidden Land Restoration with the Karbi Community in Assam, India

In this episode, we travel to the Kaziranga Karbi-Anglong landscape in Assam with Dr. Firoz Ahmed to explore what it means to learn with the Karbi community in restoring degraded swidden (jhum) lands. Through oral histories, ecological observation, and community-led initiatives, from reforestation to sustainable livelihood and ecotourism, the episode traces how landscapes shaped by extraction can slowly recover when knowledge flows both ways. Framed as a “journey for learning,” the conversation invites us to see local communities as teachers, reminding us that when forests return, rivers and even the gibbons may return too.
