The Ecological & Community Development for Tribal Women & Children Society (ECDTWCS)

Grant Amount : Rs. 4,78,000

The project encourages small and marginal farmers to develop plantation on wastelands and protect nearby forest area from further degradation. The wastelands due to jhum cultivation of small and marginal farmers were to be identified with the help of village authorities, Forest Range Officers and project beneficiaries. By bringing about technical mass awareness on environment & sustainability through seminars, public meetings, orientation programmes to the target groups and by raising nurseries near the project site, the NGO aims to protect land for plantation beneficial to tribals living below the poverty line. This way, the fodder and fuel needs of the tribal poor shall be met and the ecological balance shall be restored. This project will also create jobs for the unemployed youth of the rural areas thereby bringing about upliftment of the socioeconomic condition of rural/ tribal people in the project area.

The local community of the project area has been, over the years, indiscriminately cutting the trees of the surrounding forest for sale as timber and firewood. Moreover shifting cultivation is practiced at the foothill. These activities together with setting forest fires, unregulated hunting and sale of valuable plants have seriously damaged the ecosystem of the peak. Even the number of migratory birds locally known as Shiri has reduced drastically as the Michelia Exersa trees whose seeds the birds fed on, have depleted. The Shiroi Lily is also reducing in number and size. This is because of two main reasons – firstly because of tourism and secondly because the Lily habitat is getting choked by a bamboo species known as Machun. Due to the lack of awareness on alternative means of livelihood and lack of skills on more productive self employment avenues, many have resorted to timber business which is further damaging the ecosystem of the Shiroi Peak.
Since thousands of tourists visit the Peak during the Lily flowering season, the NGO undertakes to carve out a protected area for the Lily flowers and clear the Lily habitat of the bamboo plants. They propose to give training on Eco-tourism Management, biodiversity conservation and entrepreneurship development. PASDO will carry out research and do a detailed study of the multiplication and propagation of the Lily flower. Besides, workshops, awareness and training programmes, and capacity building will be carried out at different levels on different aspects of conservation. While PASDO will facilitate and organize community action in the overall implementation process of the project, the Village Authorities and Village Development Committee will be responsible for organizing the local community to carry out the activities.
