Kadar Tribe Leads Forest Restoration in Kerala
The Kadar tribe in Kerala leads a collaborative forest restoration project aimed at tackling invasive species and restoring degraded forest ecosystems in the Vazhachal and Parambikulam regions. Supported by WWF-India, KFRI, and local government bodies, the project involves removing invasive plants like Lantana camara and reintroducing native species. The initiative is based in Pothupara, a tribal hamlet, and is guided by Gram Sabhas using traditional knowledge. This effort supports biodiversity, reduces human-wildlife conflicts, and enhances local livelihoods, aligning with global ecosystem restoration goals.
