The project aims at re-establishing the association of the Warlis with the forest. In doing so, the Warlis can re-stitch the lost associations with their homeland and culture such that, in return, the forest helps balance their livelihood. The project investigates remaining associations with the forest and finds that ‘Karvi’- a woody and endemic shrub used to build warli huts- has miraculous properties. Karvi, if cultivated in abundance, could not only sustain the Warlis in terms of livelihood, but also help regenerate the degrading landscape. The project outlines an effective plan of action template for a defined area showcasing all existing conditions for karvi to grow in the landscape. Peripheral systems of api-culture, fruit plantations and camping not only help uplift economy but also strengthen association of the locals with the forest.
