Forests – the Real Source of Water

Photographer’s remarks

Western Ghats is one of the biodiversity hot spots of the world that supports a number of endemic and endangered species, which also supports the Homo sapiens by providing him with its natural resources. The catchment area receives heavy rainfall during the monsoon season and releases the water through numerous streams and finally reaches the river. Protecting the forest does not only equal the protection of biodiversity, it actually protects the human community.
