Lines of continuity

Southern tropical dry deciduous forest, Southern outcrop of Aravalli range and western tip of Vindhya range, Jambughoda wildlife sanctuary.The study attempts to understand the symbiotic relationship of flora and fauna and its interdependencies. This correlation of flora and fauna makes the forest resilient. The chain of edible fruit trees are one such connection that sustains survival and acts as a network between the fragmented patches of habitat within and outside the boundaries of forest. The journey follows the line of edible fruit groves that in turn follows, certain underlying conditions indicating the idea of continuity both as linear system within the forest and scattered groves across the modified larger landscapes that extents beyond.
