butterflies, and birds. Tall trees and shrubs flanked the mud walkway, offering a respite from the scorching heat. My excitement rose when I spotted a bright blue kingfisher perched on the natural shoreline, prompting me to take pictures. As I zoomed in on the kingfisher, I noticed a quiet Indian pond heron camouflaged among the bushes and a waterhen paddling away in the waters. Myriad varieties of dragonflies and butterflies zoomed in and out around me, and I was transfixed in spotting and reading about them.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body

However, we seldom realise the effort and resources that go into creating and maintaining these natural spaces. As I sat on a stone bench overlooking the fence, a sense of nostalgia took over me as I gazed upon Anchepalya lake in its full glory. I felt joy and gratification, knowing that I played a small part in the team that worked to make this happen.<\/p>\n<p>They say, \u201cInvest in the Earth, and it will pay dividends.\u201d This is essentially what I was told during the debriefing of our eco-restoration project for Anchepalya lake in 2018. After successfully developing sustainable communities using a holistic approach in its design execution, GoodEarth decided to dispense its expertise in design and management of reviving and restoring the 3-acre Anchepalya lake located in the vicinity of the Malhar Eco-village in Kambipura.<\/p>\n<p>Going against the conventional norm of cementing and edging the shoreline with stones, the fulcrum of the design aimed to promote natural and sustainable growth in the lake and its surrounding environment. The goal was to set an example and showcase a model to the general public, inspiring them to take responsibility for caring for the abundance that nature provides.<\/p>\n<p>I remember the words of Co-founder, GoodEarth, Stanley George, during a site visit, \u201cDoing a job well once is certainly an achievement, but it&#8217;s not enough to sustain success in the long term. To maintain the quality of a job and ensure its sustainability, it requires people who are willing to take on the responsibility of maintaining it. These people must be committed to the job and understand the importance of their role in ensuring its success. Without this level of commitment, even the best initial efforts can fall apart quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, to achieve this feat, we collaborated with the Panchayat President of the Anchepalya village, Mr Chikkaraju, and Abbot Fr. Jerome of St. Benedictine Academy, which is on the opposite side of the lake.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-7{width:100% !important;margin-top :
