Bio-diversity

Reforestation and protection of Gallena Kanda, restore watershed and develop model herbal garden. The project aimed to reforest 15 acres of degraded hill slope which was planted with rubber at one time. At an earlier date this was part of a lush jungle which provided water for the communities living at the bottom of the hill range. As the jungle disappeared and rubber trees were uprooted, the streams dried out and the animals were left with no living habitat. The NGO headed by a Buddhist monk proposes the reforestation of this land to reactivate the streams and provide a haven to the animals of the area.
