The Eastern Ghats, despite its rich bio-diversity, is often overlooked. Here’s a movement that aims to conserve it

Despite being older than the Himalayas and the Western Ghats, the Eastern Ghats, an ancient discontinuous low mountain range that spreads along the East coast of the Indian Peninsula, never got its due. The geographical extent of the Eastern Ghats is about 75,000 kilometres, spread over the states of Odisha (25 %), Andhra Pradesh (40%), Telangana (5%), Karnataka (5%) and Tamil Nadu (25%).

Though it is bestowed with rich bio-diversity and is home to different tribal communities, there has never been a clear policy in place for its conservation.

In June 2011, Greens’ Alliance for Conservation of Eastern Ghats (GrACE) was formed to turn the focus on the Eastern Ghats. Its drive to rejuvenate the ecosystem culminated in the planting of more than 10 lakh trees in the region; the project to plant 10 million saplings continues.
