Strengthen capacity of grassroots institutions for natural resource management and conservation of community forest resource use areas (CFRs) in the Anamalai and Periyar-Agastyamalai Corridors, ensuring long-term involvement of local communities. Support the gram sabhas (village councils) of tribal villages to claim community and CFR rights, undertake resource mapping and form CFR management committees and plans by facilitating partnerships with relevant government departments.

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