India’s rich medicinal plant heritage, known as vanaspati, faces threats from deforestation. Patanjali Ayurved is spearheading revival efforts, notably through its World Herbal Forest in Haryana, cultivating thousands of medicinal plant varieties. These initiatives aim to conserve biodiversity, promote sustainable livelihoods, and re-establish traditional healing practices for a healthier future.
