consists of ecologists, environmentalists, botanists, wildlife enthusiasts
and proponents of sustainable development with sixty supporting staff ranging
from beekeepers to water chemists.

range in the South Indian State of Tamilnadu . The forests of the hills
vary from dry deciduous to wet temperate zones. The hills start at 280
Mts. above sea level and raise up to 2300 Mts. |
