Welcome to the Biodiversity Conservation & Research Trust (BCRT).
BCRT is a non-profit organization committed to conservation and documentation of
biodiversity and strives to establish a more harmonious relationship between man
and nature. Based
primarily in Anuganalu, a village located at the foot of the
Western Ghats,
our main focus has been to encourage the community to grow local species of
trees, which our nursery grows in its hundreds of thousands.
A barren stretch within Anuganalu was afforested successfully and serves as an
experiment that can be repeated in other villages too. We are working on
conservation of soil and water, habitats for birds and preserving bio-diversity
in nearby hills. We are also propagating plants known to the local community for
their medicinal properties. At a passive level, we conduct workshops for farmers
and school-children where we give live demonstrations on the importance of
biodiversity conservation.
