Changa Manga Forest: A Man-Made Marvel in Pakistan
Changa Manga Forest, located in the Punjab province of Pakistan, is one of the largest artificial forests in the world. Spanning over 12,000 acres, this man-made wonder was initially planted in 1866 by the British to meet the demand for timber, primarily for the railways. Named after two notorious bandits, Changa and Manga, the forest now serves as a thriving ecological zone, rich in both flora and fauna.
Today, Changa Manga is not just a timber source but a sanctuary for wildlife, including deer, jackals, and numerous bird species. It also plays a vital role in controlling pollution and maintaining the local ecosystem by acting as a natural air purifier and carbon sink.
Visitors are drawn to its natural beauty and the recreational opportunities it offers, such as boating, cycling, and wildlife viewing. The forest's serene environment makes it a popular destination for picnics and eco-tourism, contributing to both conservation awareness and local tourism.
Despite its value, Changa Manga faces challenges from illegal logging and climate change, prompting conservation efforts to preserve this unique and vital forest. A symbol of human ingenuity and nature's resilience, Changa Manga continues to thrive.

My New Book is Finally Here
My poetry collection Beautiful and Brutal Things is done. It's actually done and finally published over 270 pages. Over a year of my life went into this book. More than a year, really. Long days at my computer, sometimes seven days a week because I couldn't stop even when I probably should have. Then two months of editing that felt harder than the writing itself. But it's finished, and I'm still standing, and the book is real.
