Heavily pruned khejri (Prosopis cineraria) trees silhouetted against the rising sun on the edge of a desert village. Managing this tree species sustainably, the inhabitants of the Thar Desert use all parts of it - twigs & branches for livestock barriers & fuel, leaves for fodder, fruit for food - however, cutting down the whole tree is considered a great sacrilege.
