In the first newsletter of the NNHS we bring to you a space for the voice of conservation, culture and communication of the Nilgiris. Bringing into special focus the conservation related work that happens in the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve (NBR). We start off with an insight into the uncultivated foods of the indigenous communities and a report on the current status of village forest councils in the NBR. A research on the study of Phoenix species and an intent to share meaning and modes of conservation that are as much indicative of age-old traditions as they are a voice of future.
