​
We're collaborating with esteemed institutions like Sathyabama Institute of Science And Technology, PSG College of Arts and Science, Dr. MGR Fisheries University, Women’s Christian College and C. Abdul Hakkim Art & Science college for date collection and research work. The research into various wetlands and species is crucial for understanding and enhancing biodiversity. Identifying over 120 different species in a short time shows the rich ecological potential of the area. This knowledge will undoubtedly be invaluable for future conservation efforts and can also provide insights into sustainable practices. And we involved various experts - Dr. Aswathy Rajan, Dr. Govindan, Dr. Ganesh, Kalinga Foundation for different studies.
