Landscapes we work in

The tropical forests of southern India predominantly consist of the dry deciduous forests and the evergreen forests, each of these biomes playing host to rich biodiversity. The Eastern Ghats landscape which is a mixture of dry deciduous and scrub forests spans across the eastern part of the south Indian peninsular. Rapid human development has caused this once contiguous forest to become highly fragmented, and multiple anthropological pressures have caused severe degradation of the landscape. However, this fractured land still provides a critical habitat for a host of endangered species such as the tiger, elephant, leopard, and numerous vulnerable floras.
