Preorder Yogecology
For every book purchased, the ashram will plant a sapling of an indigenous tree in the Marwar region of Rajasthan. This initiative aims to combat desertification and mitigate the impacts of climate change by restoring greenery to the area.
Climate change is significantly affecting the Marwar region, exacerbating desertification, increasing the frequency of droughts, and altering rainfall patterns. These changes threaten local agriculture and water resources, making the region more vulnerable to extreme weather events.
Reforestation projects are crucial for addressing these challenges. By planting native trees, this project will help restore soil health, improve groundwater levels, and provide habitats for local wildlife. Our goal is not only to mitigate the impacts of climate change but also to support sustainable livelihoods and futures for the local communities.
Your pre-order will enable us to plant more trees in preparation for the book’s launch, contributing to a healthier and more sustainable environment for future generations.

Reviving the Marwar Region:
Why Replanting Matters
The Marwar region of Rajasthan, with its vast stretches of arid desert and dwindling greenery, faces severe ecological challenges. Over the years, deforestation, desertification, and climate change have intensified, leaving the land parched and its biodiversity under threat. Replanting trees is not just a solution; it’s a lifeline. Trees act as natural barriers against soil erosion, enhance groundwater recharge, and provide shade to mitigate the scorching desert heat. By revitalising this fragile ecosystem, rewilding efforts can bring hope to a region fighting to restore its balance.
Strengthening Communities Through Green Initiatives
Rewilding the Marwar region isn’t just about restoring nature—it’s about fostering stronger communities. Planting trees creates new opportunities for collaboration and shared purpose, bringing people together to rejuvenate the landscape. By improving soil fertility and providing shade, trees also benefit local agriculture and livestock, ensuring the land can continue to sustain livelihoods. Community-led planting projects cultivate a sense of ownership, connecting people to their environment and inspiring long-term stewardship of the region's natural resources.
A Haven for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Health
The impact of rewilding on the natural environment is profound. Native trees act as sanctuaries for wildlife, providing habitats for birds, insects, and mammals that are crucial to the ecosystem. With replanting, degraded land can transform into lush, thriving ecosystems, helping to stabilise temperatures and improve air quality. A greener Marwar means restoring the delicate balance between desert flora and fauna, creating a resilient environment that supports life in all its forms.
A diverse range of trees will soon be planted across the Marwar region of Rajasthan to combat desertification, restore biodiversity, and provide vital resources for local communities. These trees will help improve air quality, conserve water, and support wildlife, creating a more sustainable environment for future generations. The trees being planted are carefully selected for their ability to thrive in Rajasthan’s arid climate while offering ecological and cultural benefits.
Neem is known for its medicinal properties and natural pest-repelling qualities. Babul enriches the soil and provides fodder for livestock. Gunda (Cordia myxa) bears nutritious fruits and supports local biodiversity. Jaal (Salvadora persica) plays a crucial role in preventing desertification and is traditionally used for oral health. Khejari, Rajasthan’s state tree, sustains ecosystems by improving soil fertility and serving as a vital resource for communities. Kher is valued for its hardy wood and gum production, while Peepal, a sacred tree in Indian tradition, provides shade and releases high amounts of oxygen.
Each of these indigenous species will help to restore balance to the region’s fragile ecosystem while supporting local livelihoods and cultural heritage. You can be a part of this transformation by purchasing a tree for $60 through the Shri Jasnath Asan website. Each contribution directly supports reforestation efforts and strengthens the region’s ecological resilience. Follow the link to make a lasting impact today.
