Ephemeral Diversities

This project aims at understanding the ephemeral changes that would have ideally existed in this Semi-arid and dry deciduous forest pre and post-monsoon. Due to anthropogenic pressures and introduced floral species, some of them being invasive, the entire floral diversity has undergone a shift where the native and endemic floral species have restricted themselves to certain slopes and terrains within the forest. Diving into the ephemeral diversities through diagrams and showcasing the lost richness that would have prevailed over these terrains and the abundance of faunal species, especially avifauna that dominates this region.
