Locations[edit | edit source]
Ecosystems[edit | edit source]
=Example gardens[edit | edit source]
In Chalakkudy river side forests many jack fruit,mango ,Gua trees are there.These may be because of many tribal inhabitants as well as tourist movements.
Myself tried to make a contribution by planting anjily trees- similar to pine trees,but yearly yields sweet small jack fruits like fruits. Just spread nearly thousands of such seeds of anjily fruits.
Because unlike jack fruits these fruits are small but rich with nutritional contents.So monkeys can have the same easily, not waiting for human/ tourists thrown away foods.
The project requires support from forest officials, because with out their permission it will be a trespassing.
Waiting for comments & viability of the project.
Because of presence of 3 step dams in this river,365 days *24 hours water is available here & hence green forest.
The place is at India - Kerala - Near Thrissur Ernakulam national highway.
