Known as Mayakshetra or Maya’s Land, the dense forests of Wayanad in Kerala have been inhabited by people for over 3000 years. The lush green forests of the Nilgiri Biosphere are the perfect setting, within which we explore the relationship between man and nature and how it shapes the local culture, history, economy and more. It is also home to several endangered species, such as elephants, tigers, slender loris and bonnet macaque.

This program takes students into the heart of Wayanad’s lush forests to explore the deep connection between nature, culture, and community. Through activities like spice walks, tribal archery, and handicraft workshops, students will learn about local traditions, biodiversity, and the importance of responsible tourism and conservation.
Uncontrolled and irresponsible tourism is adding to the environmental degradation of this biodiverse region. Tourists who come from every part of the country litter plastic bags and beer bottles, not only by the road side, but also inside the forest.
There is very little enforcement of regulations. Mining is also destroying Wayanad’s 8000 year old Edakkal cave system. Through activities centred around understanding the area, its conservation challenges and exposing students to responsible practices, we hope to mitigate some of these challenges.
