Two existing initiatives at Top Slip and a new upcoming initiative at Aliyar on the Valparai ghat road in Anamalai Tiger Reserve (ATR) are aimed at educating the tourists on the flora and fauna of ATR and their values so as to propagate the need for conserving them.
Field Director of Anamalai Tiger Reserve Rajiv K. Srivastava said that a proposal was under active consideration for setting up an awareness gallery at Aliyar, the entry point for the ghat road to Valparai wherein the bio-diversity rich plant species of ATR will be showcased to educate the tourists,
This is aimed at making the tourists to know about flora and fauna rather than turning their visits into mere picnics.
