The fauna so near!

Observing a Stick insect!
Melkote is an ecologically sensitive area that houses numerous species of plants and animals. A single trek is not sufficient to study all these life forms. Many species of plants and animals are endemic to this area. Having to study them, one has to spend years of scientific observation and record it.

A summer camp could kindle a spark of curiosity among children about the flora and fauna of Melkote. We hope that this effort can inspire them towards the conservation.
