Keyur and Nishit Barad turned their father’s dream into reality by transforming a barren three‑acre plot into The Chlorophyll Estate — a lush forest stay with more than 800 trees and 140 plant varieties just an hour from Mumbai.

A seven-year experiment that planted 100 native tree species and helped restore the ecology around a small patch of degraded land in the Western Ghats is proof that there are endless possibilities for conservation.
