Meghalaya's living bridges A lesson in sustainability

http://bit.ly/7XwAG

An excellent video on an eco-friendly  bridge built by the Khasi tribes in Meghalaya  in north east India and a excellent snotr video at You tube.
This is a living example of how people find their own solutions to the  difficult challenges that  nature often presents to mankind. What a pity that neither the India Government nor one of the thousands of well funded NGO's or the  development organizations in India have not thought of studying the project and  and aiding and emulating the same in dozens of  such mountain streams across India and the world. The development projects like these would be low cost and sustainable and would help the indigenous people of the state of Meghalaya for whom communication is an arduous task. today .
