Climate Change Threatens Nilgiris Tea Plantations

Climate Change Threatens Nilgiris Tea Plantations

Climate change is causing big problems for tea plantations in the Nilgiris.

The weather is getting hotter, and the rain is not falling in the usual patterns.

This is making it hard for tea plants to grow well.

The plants need the right amount of water, sunlight, and warmth to grow, and these changes are making it difficult.

Experts say that to protect the tea plants, we need to use shade trees, conserve soil and water, and use special techniques to help the plants survive droughts.

This will help keep the tea plants healthy and ensure that we can continue to grow tea in the Nilgiris.
