Mission Food, Fodder and Water - Forest Water Bodies Rejuvenation

under construction

The Kerala Forest Department undertook the 'mission food, fodder and water' project to rejuvenate water bodies in forests to ensure adequate water supply for wild animals during severe summer droughts. Around 1700 water sources in forests have been rejuvenated, including ponds and brush dams in the Dhoni forest area near Palakkad town. The project also includes setting up solar and hanging-solar fences to reduce man-animal conflicts and forest patrols to prevent animals from entering human settlements.
