This year\u2019s rains have transformed the harsh landscape, and its inhabitants. Farmers are tilling their land, planting seeds, and for the first time in years, expecting a good harvest. The transformation of the desert landscape has attracted tourists from all over the Pakistan to marvel at the grass-lined roadways that were, until recently, just drab sand and stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-story-image block--story-image\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><div class=\"block--story-image__column\"><div class=\"block--story-image__image\"><img class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Desert-has-turned-into-lush-green-3-2.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Desert-has-turned-into-lush-green-3-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Desert-has-turned-into-lush-green-3-2.jpg\" data-sizes=\"1020px\"\/><\/div><div class=\"block--story-image__content\"><div itemprop=\"caption\" class=\"block--story-image__caption\">The desert landscape has turned into a lush green vista [image by: Manoj Genani]<\/div><\/div><\/div><meta itemprop=\"contentUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Desert-has-turned-into-lush-green-3-2.jpg\"\/><meta itemprop=\"contentSize\" content=\"250 KB\"\/><meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"680\"\/><meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"1020\"\/><meta itemprop=\"author\"\/><meta itemprop=\"representativeOfPage\" content=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Located in in the south of Pakistan\u2019s Sindh province, bordering India to the east, the Thar desert is home to many varieties of indigenous trees, herbs, and grasses.

People migrated towards the barrage areas more than 200 kilometres away with their cattle. Now all that has changed. In the deep desert dunes have been covered by a greenish coverlet, trees have doubled &amp; tripled their leaves, and the grass is growing with unrestrained enthusiasm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-story-image block--story-image\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><div class=\"block--story-image__column\"><div class=\"block--story-image__image\"><img class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Khakhu-45-years-old-man-working-in-his-land-after-rain-shower-2.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Khakhu-45-years-old-man-working-in-his-land-after-rain-shower-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Khakhu-45-years-old-man-working-in-his-land-after-rain-shower-2.jpg\" data-sizes=\"1020px\"\/><\/div><div class=\"block--story-image__content\"><div itemprop=\"caption\" class=\"block--story-image__caption\">Khaku is delighted by the rains [image by: Manoj Genani]<\/div><\/div><\/div><meta itemprop=\"contentUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Khakhu-45-years-old-man-working-in-his-land-after-rain-shower-2.jpg\"\/><meta itemprop=\"contentSize\" content=\"282 KB\"\/><meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"680\"\/><meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"1020\"\/><meta itemprop=\"author\"\/><meta itemprop=\"representativeOfPage\" content=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Khaku, who lives in the village of Dhorio, was weeding out grass from his land. He was thankful for the rain, and said that he had invested PKR 20,000 (USD 128) on his land, and intended to work for the next three months until the harvest in the last week of November. His family &#8211; he has seven children \u2013 seemed to be as enthusiastic as he was, working from sunrise to sunset. Every family member plays a role in cultivating the desert land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When drought hits the people and animals face an acute shortage of fodder and cereal crops, as well as water scarcity. These lead to premature births among livestock, and the malnutrition rate increases among children under 5 years of age. Pregnant and lactating women do not get their proper amount of food. People are forced to migrate towards the areas where barrages have been built to find fodder and water for their cattle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-story-image block--story-image\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><div class=\"block--story-image__column\"><div class=\"block--story-image__image\"><img class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Two-children-were-coming-back-from-school-when-it-was-surrounded-by-sand-storms-in-Thar-this-picture-is-taken-from-desert-area-of-district-Umerkot-2.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Two-children-were-coming-back-from-school-when-it-was-surrounded-by-sand-storms-in-Thar-this-picture-is-taken-from-desert-area-of-district-Umerkot-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Two-children-were-coming-back-from-school-when-it-was-surrounded-by-sand-storms-in-Thar-this-picture-is-taken-from-desert-area-of-district-Umerkot-2.jpg\" data-sizes=\"1020px\"\/><\/div><div class=\"block--story-image__content\"><div itemprop=\"caption\" class=\"block--story-image__caption\">Two children returning from school just a month and a half ago in the district of Umerkot [image by: Manoj Genani]<\/div><\/div><\/div><meta itemprop=\"contentUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Two-children-were-coming-back-from-school-when-it-was-surrounded-by-sand-storms-in-Thar-this-picture-is-taken-from-desert-area-of-district-Umerkot-2.jpg\"\/><meta itemprop=\"contentSize\" content=\"133 KB\"\/><meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"680\"\/><meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"1020\"\/><meta itemprop=\"author\"\/><meta itemprop=\"representativeOfPage\" content=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-story-image block--story-image\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><div class=\"block--story-image__column\"><div class=\"block--story-image__image\"><img class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Thar-one-and-half-month-ago-before-rainshower2-2.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Thar-one-and-half-month-ago-before-rainshower2-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Thar-one-and-half-month-ago-before-rainshower2-2.jpg\" data-sizes=\"1020px\"\/><\/div><div class=\"block--story-image__content\"><div itemprop=\"caption\" class=\"block--story-image__caption\">Just one and a half months ago, the desert was bare [image by: Manoj Genani]<\/div><\/div><\/div><meta itemprop=\"contentUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Thar-one-and-half-month-ago-before-rainshower2-2.jpg\"\/><meta itemprop=\"contentSize\" content=\"190 KB\"\/><meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"680\"\/><meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"1020\"\/><meta itemprop=\"author\"\/><meta itemprop=\"representativeOfPage\" content=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This year may be a year of hope, but nothing is certain, warned Bharumal Amrani, a folklorist and environmental expert. \u201cNothing can be said finally until the harvest.

Nevertheless the people are happy, blessing their fortune this year, and hoping it marks a change from the last few years of lean rainfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-story-image
