Connecting waters

Tropical semi evergreen and grassland forest (Duar floodplains, Kaziranga national park). 

The forest lies in the Duar floodplains. It allows a rich biodiversity and topography, due to its unique geomorphology. Through the lens of many endangered species, the Bengal florican, Eastern swamp deers, the key system for these geomorphic processes is identified as the Wetlands (Beels). The study aims to understand the co existence of many flora & fauna species with connecting waters & river. Also aims to understand its long-term processes & seasonal changes.
