Selected land

We thank the donors for committing towards natures conservation cause. We also thank GlobalGiving to provide this platform to spread our work.

Purchase of nature

Sahyadri has selected 57 acres of land about 33 Km from Chiplun closer to western fringes of Sahyadri mountaings. Sahyadri has verified all the documents of this land and is initiating the purchase. Sahyadri has raised about USD 18,000.00 which was planned to raise through local donation sources.
The selected land has jungle which is about 8-10 years old. Sahyadri has also started detailed survey of the land with the help of experts and also using trap cameras to identify wildlife.

Awareness Drives

Sahyadri has continued meeting private forest owners and making them aware about various nature friendly options of earning income over mere harvesting the jungle.

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