![This World Environment Day we turn our attention to the Nilgiris - India’s first Biosphere Reserve, declared by UNESCO.
The Nilgiris Biosphere Reserve stands as one of Earth’s most vibrant cradles of life. From the endangered Nilgiri Tahr scaling misty cliffs to orchids blooming in ancient forests, this region is a living legacy of biodiversity, resilience, and balance. 🦌🌸🦜
But like so many ecosystems, the Nilgiris is under threat — from plastic pollution, habitat loss, and climate change. Its survival depends on our collective will to protect it.
That’s why efforts like Clean Coonoor matter — local, grassroots initiatives working every day to safeguard this fragile landscape through cleanup drives, education, and sustainable action.
Protect the Nilgiris. Protect our future.
