Eastern Ghats' Tribal Heritage and Conservation Efforts

Imagine the Eastern Ghats as a special place in India, filled with hills and forests that provide water and homes for plants, animals, and people.

The people who live there, like the Kondhs and Savaras, have lived there for a long time and know how to take care of it all.

They have special ways of farming, knowing when to plant by watching the sky and the mangoes.

They also have rules about respecting nature and using resources carefully, treating the forests and rivers as sacred.

They even fought against people who tried to take their land and resources.

A recent march showed how important these people and their ways are for protecting the environment and ensuring the plains continue to flourish.
