Q: Giving Back - Our Conservation Pledge

Munnar's shola forests, interspersed with tea, cardamom, and coffee plantations, host several critically endangered frog species. However, habitat-disturbing practices and pesticide use, fuelled by local myths, have led to a decline in many of the species’ populations. To address this, Hadlee and his team at Resplendent Experiences focused on conserving these frogs at Windermere Cardamom Plantation. They constructed water habitats (WHs) tailored for frog breeding, using native plants like wild turmeric and ferns to recreate suitable nesting environments. Their efforts proved successful, with frogs adapting to the habitats. The team has demonstrated that even small initiatives can have a substantial impact on conservation efforts. The project has heightened awareness about the presence of various endemic frog species in Munnar. By raising awareness and educating the public about the importance of these often-overlooked species, the team has fostered a sense of responsibility and care for the natural world among the local community and beyond. Their dedication to the cause has inspired others to join the movement, further strengthening the efforts to protect and conserve the unique biodiversity of Munnar. A percentage of profits from each Safari is donated to Resplendent Experiences to produce some more of these Frog Ponds in some suitable areas to assist with the conservation of the many vulnerable frogs.
