i say, here are some things you can do. >> i am anne motley halum, i am helping the people in rural gat ma la protect their family and friends. pine trees with tap roots hold a mountain together. the trees are cut for fire wood. without realizing it, they have taken away their protection. we started to teach the villagers how to use the trees. we will start with a little seed bed and we will build that and then we transplant those seed lings on to the mountain slopes. we watch the trees grow. that's why we stay for five years. notice that the mudslides aren't happening here. we say, you have got it. you know how to do this now. i can go back to areas that were nothing but mudslides and soil erosion and now i see forests and they are still there and they are beautiful.
