By Basundhara Bhattarai<\/em> | 18 September 2023<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n It was a fine day in July 2023 when I (along with my team members) was in a village in Timor Leste, situated northeast of Aileu town, a two-hour drive from the capital city of Dili. The road we travelled on was mostly smooth as we ascended up the moderately sloppy hills, but it had enough bends and some bumps that allowed us some extra moments to see the landscape from inside the car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n All along the way we had a wonderful opportunity to observe mosaics of forested landscapes and agricultural fields \u2013 the rich variety of plants, crops, and trees seemed to support food, livelihoods and ecosystems in the region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
