Community outreach and extension activities
I have founded a non-profit
organization called Biodiversity Conservation and
Research Trust (BCRT) in India and served as a Founder-Director
(2001-present) to protect and preserve forest ecosystems.
This organization is located at Anuganalu village, Hassan,
Karnataka State which is directly located in one of the
world biodiversity hotspots in India. Under my supervision, BCRT had
successfully converted barren rocky area into forest ecosystem within five years
using native tree species. BCRT work has been recognized as a model system to
sustain forest ecosystem for future generation in India. I have been associated
with several local farmers/students/teachers/scientists to implement
environmental related projects in India.
BCRT Projects at
http://www.bcrt.org
-
Afforestation:
converted barren rocky area into forest ecosystem within five years
-
Medicinal plants
conservation:
documented and propagated hundreds of endangered medicinal plants
-
Rain hills conservation:
rejuvenating forest on deforested rain hills through afforestation
-
Plant propagation
nursery:
collected seeds from native trees and medicinal plants, and propagated them a
nursery for afforestation and conservation purpose
-
Birds habitat
conservation:
native habitat has been restored to protect birds
-
Tree-based farming:
farmers were encouraged to adopt tree based farming in their fields to protect
biodiversity and enhance crop productivity.
-
Ecological and
agricultural workshops:
awareness programs conducted on environmental and sustainable agricultural
practices to local farmers, students and researchers.
