Innovative bamboo restoration drive begins in Wayanad

25,000 seed balls prepared to be broadcast in four forest ranges
While the ‘gregarious flowering of bamboo’ inside the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary (WWS) and adjacent tiger reserves in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu is posing a threat to wildlife in the forest complex, a major tiger and elephant habitat in the country, sanctuary officials began an innovative bamboo restoration drive to mark the International biodiversity day on Saturday. The bamboo plant dries up and dies after it flowers once in its life cycle. Bamboo groves in the Wayanad forest are the mainstay of herbivores in the Nilgiri biosphere during summer. With the advent of the season, migration of wild animals starts from nearby sanctuaries in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu to Wayanad.More Related News
