Arunachal Pradesh is one of the states of North East India. It is the largest state of North East India in term of area. The state is endowed with innumerable natural resources and wilderness. The wilderness areas, inhabited forest villages and mountain ranges along with villages in slopes are ultimate touchstone of natural environment. The Nakhu village, located in West Kameng District of Arunachal Pradesh is inhabited by Sajolang tribe also known as Miji. They speak indigenous Sajolang language.

This article is basically depicted the pristine beauty of nature in the Nakhu village. We can get the glimpse of how villagers in the village are mutually co-inhabited with nature without making any interruptions. This is the common people’s environmentalism. Social media posts in the name of environment to get publicity are pseudo concern. These villagers are the real shield of nature.

In these photograph, we can see the magnificent Gorichen Mountain that clicked from the Nakhu Village, Arucnachal Pradesh. This shows the innocence of natural beauty and uninterrupted environment.

In the above photographs, we can see the villager’s cultivation of maize, cardamom and Walnut. Walnut tree plantation is further enhanced the livelihood value of the villagers. The villagers are self-sufficient and their cultivation takes place in the natural condition. The people are very strongly attached with nature and they earn their livelihood by using natural resources without spoiling it. These villages are definitely the instance of nurturing nature in its natural state. 

 This is the famous white Gayal also known as Mithun. Gayal is the state animal of Arunachal Pradesh. Cattle rearing are another mode of economy in the Village. Rearing of Mithun is part of the culture. It is uses in marriage as exchange of gifts. Nature has to be protected because nature has its own right.
