Kalakad-Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve: towards a plastic free future
Kalakad-Mundanthurai
Tiger Reserve (KMTR) covers an area of 900 sq kms and is located
within the larger range of Agasthymalai in southern Western
Ghats, India. This is the southern most habitat of the endangered
tiger. This range is known for its high plant diversity and
endemism and many of these have medicinal values as well. The
legend has it that Sage Agasthya, the father of 'Siddha'- a
traditional plant based health practice, roamed these hills
collecting herbs. The region is also known for some highly endangered
primates, endemic civets, bats, several species of birds, butterflies,
amphibians and reptiles.
