Our Intiatives

Butterfly Garden

Butterflies are indicators of a healthy ecosystem and are often portrayed as the essence of nature. As butterflies are a part of our natural heritage, they have the right to exist as much as other species on the planet. With this in mind, the butterfly garden was established on 28 August 2018 to increase and conserve the vibrant butterfly population of Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve.

We have a wide variety of nectar-producing plants to attract more butterflies and learn about these beautiful creatures in their habitat. Its primary objective is to educate people and make them aware about the importance of preserving a butterfly habitat. At the same time, it offers a place to relax, think and enjoy the beauty of nature.

Apiary Unit

Conservation of pollinating insects like honey bees are crucial for creating a sustainable environment. And we believe a green revolution is possible only by increasing the pollinators that play an important role in the scope of agricultural production. An apiary unit with 50 bee colonies was started with a motive to conserve different species of honey bees and provide opportunities to uplift the financial status of people living in tribal communities nearby.

Herbal garden

50 rare species of plants with intrinsic medicinal values are grown here to raise awareness and learn more about the fascinating world of herbal plants in Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. Traditional knowledge about these plants was passed on by word of mouth from generation to generation. So, it’s our responsibility to spread the knowledge about their uses and save them from extinction.

Amphitheatre

The amphitheater at NBNP is equipped with state-of-the-art technology which is ideal for holding meetings and seminars amid nature. This facility can be utilized for events that will enthuse and increase the involvement of children in understanding, protecting and preserving nature.

NBNP is a popular destination when it comes to conducting outbound events for schools, colleges, and corporates. Practical knowledge and daring outdoor experiences will ensure that our future generations are capable of sculpting their personality and stand up to the challenges.
