With backing from the Tzedakah trust, we've undertaken the acquisition of privately owned parcels of Shola forests situated within wildlife corridors and buffer zones to forestall their conversion into developed areas. Our aim is to designate these lands as nurseries for regenerating Shola species and as educational sites to enlighten individuals about the critical significance of these forests.

We aspire to instill in children an awareness of these interconnections before they become entrenched in societal norms. To achieve this goal, we've initiated 'CAN Clubs' (Children Act for Nature) in nearby schools and organize excursions to Mudumalai, alongside a variety of engaging activities for children. Our foremost objective is to ensure they enjoy themselves while also gaining valuable insights along the journey.
