| We engage in a variety of activities that help man co-exist with nature, such as employing local talent, buying village produce, assisting in the sale of village handicraft and keeping a close eye on our forests and helping the Forest Department safeguard it. |

| Protected areas including National Parks and Sanctuaries are under tremendous pressure from the human habitation located on the peripheries of these wildlife reserves - be it through cattle grazing, collection of firewood, bio-mass and other forest resources for commercial purpose,
or even being party to poaching. The only way of reducing or removing such pressures is to create economic development and opportunities for these habitants outside the protected areas and thereby reducing human pressures on forest ecosystems. Responsible ecotourism is the most effective conservation
tool that balances the utilitarian demands we place on our environment with the ethical need to preserve wildlife. It does this by maintaining a basic and healthy respect for all living things, be it flora, fauna or mankind. A win-win situation in all. |
