life at Nannilam
BIODIVERSITY & ECOLOGY
Conducive habitat to 75 different species of flora including indigenous
species with medicinal properties.
At Nannilam,
we recognize the importance of preserving the biodiversity and ecology of this region.
We prioritize the use of native plant species in our farming and landscaping activities, which not only supports local wildlife but also helps to maintain genetic diversity within plant species. Our agroforestry practices integrate trees and crops on the same land, creating microhabitats for various species and contributing to soil fertility and erosion control.
We also collaborate with indigenous communities in the area to conserve trees that are useful for them, such as medicinal plants and trees used for traditional crafts. Through this collaboration, we aim to promote the conservation of local biodiversity and cultural heritage.
In addition, we are committed to providing a regenerative ecosystem for all native species to thrive, including animals. We use eco-friendly practices such as composting, water conservation, and renewable energy use to reduce our ecological footprint and promote ecological balance.
At Nannilam eco-village, we believe that living in harmony with nature and adopting sustainable practices is crucial for preserving the biodiversity and ecology of the Eastern Ghats and Kalvarayan hills. We invite you to join us in this mission and to experience the beauty and richness of this unique ecosystem.
