In the Himalayan foothills of northern India, Vimla Bisht spends nearly every day gathering dry pine needles from the parched forest into a giant cloth sack, which she balances on her head for the long trek back home. She uses the needles to bed her cattle, though she collects them to safeguard her village against the drought’s side effects: fire., a settlement of about 1,300 people that lies at 7,000 feet in the central Himalayas.
But climate change isn't the only reason this landscape has become more fire prone. For more than a century, beginning in the late 1800s under British colonial rule, the native oak forests here were heavily logged, in part to build India's vast railway network. Over time the forests were replanted with fast-growing pine trees, with their highly flammable needles.
“This is small—micro-micro small—but the most important point here is that this electricity is coming out of the destructive energy of pine needles,” says Rajnish Jain, co-founder of the nonprofit,Fire season has become more intense

British were like a plague to India, sucking every bit from India, culturally, stones, education and even forest. They replaced the hills forest to this insane plant and Indian government is only interested in revenue from this.

Es cuestión de implementar tecnología antigua a ver si funciona para resolver nuevos problemas en el sigo XXI. Igual no hay que acaparar el gua solo para las empresas, todos las necesitan, incluyendo animales y plantas. Esperemos que lean su artículo en California.
