The Gadoli and Manda Khal Biodiversity Conservation Project
This project aims to protect, study, preserve and conserve these private forests through in-situ actions from passive restoration, species monitoring, biodiversity assessments, threat mitigation and habitat protection to maintain conservation gains over a long time-scale.
This project is being implemented by Subir Mario Chowfin as the Principal Investigator and is supported by The Gadoli and Manda Khal Wildlife Conservation Trust.
Biodiversity surveys here since 2016 based on visual encounter surveys, photo-documentation and camera-trapping have recorded an initial species pool of 200 species to date consisting of herbs, shrubs, trees, insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals.
