My Jungle - Participatory Forest Conservation

We thank donors for their commitment towards saving nature. GlobalGiving's representatives in India visited our office to review the project progress. Such interactions help us in tracking as well as stresses importance of formal documentation of the work. We thank GlobalGiving to provide such support and platform to reach out to you. 

Purchase of nature

• Sahaydri's team has continued the survey to identify places based on the set criteria. Few places have been shortlisted and the team is discussing further possibilities with the owners.

Awareness Drives

• Sahyadri's team has been meeting private forest owners closer to Western Ghats. Through these meetings Sahyadri is creating awareness among such groups to save their jungle and earn income through non-timber forest produce.
• Gum Collection - In few places where Gum Karya (Sterculia Urens) trees are preset, Sahyadri has initiated trainings for land owners to collect gum as it has a good market value. To ensure sustainability, Sahyadri has also trained owners to plant these trees.
• World Environment Day - Sahyadri hosted series of exhibitions, environment related film shows and talks involving villagers on the occasion of World Environment Day.

We request you to talk to your friends about your reason to donate towards My Jungle and help us to spread the word.
