Aim to preserve special habitats of Hill Wetlands (Tarnadmund, Bison Swamp, Nedugula) of Nilgiris, highlight their special status, and bring to the forefront lesser known wetland species and their importance in conservation programs. This will be achieved by implementing sustainable management plans with stakeholder communities for the protection and monitoring of these landscapes which today are fragmented and disregarded.

Strategic Direction: 1 Enable action by diverse communities and partnerships to ensure conservation of key biodiversity areas and enhance connectivity in the corridors
