Discovering the Myristica swamps

Wet Evergreen Forest 
Cullenia – Mesua – Palanquium Series 
Shendurney wildlife sanctuary 

Forests are a primeval entity which have numerous interrelated systems functioning within. The water bodies and the swamps play a major role in the survival of the forest of Shendurney wildlife sanctuary at the southern western ghats. There are various systems hidden within, which nourishes the whole forest - the most critical one being the myristica swamps. The study is focused on certain zones within the forest which act as a threshold for these swamps. And hence, acknowledges the threshold of this delicate and fragile swamp which has the most intricate relation between the flora, fauna and moisture/wetness.
