Survey of private forest with locals

We thank the donors for committing towards natures conservation cause. Our special thanks to GlobalGiving for providing this platform to spread our work.

Purchase of nature

Based on the legal adviser’s recommendations, the shortlisted place was finalized due to legal documentation of that land. Sahyadri's team has been exploring the area for suitable place.

Awareness Drives

The awareness drives are being conducted by meeting private forest owners. Sahyadri’s team conducted meetings in 5 villages to bring private forest owners together and emphasized alternate way of income generation over harvesting.
Sahyadri's team has also conducted training sessions in 3 villages to make private forest owners aware about options like Sterculia urens (aka Gum Karaya) for gum collection.

During the holiday seasons, we request you to talk to your friends and family about your reason to donate towards My Jungle and help us spread the word. We wish you all happy new year and let all our actions be environment friendly.
