Where are the trees?


Everyday trees are recklessly hacked in the forests of Kodagu. This blue mountain in the picture is sparsely covered with small trees and shrubs. Thatha says it was once lush green with tall trees...

Thatha tells stories of people who felled, cut up and moved those tall trees. Since his childhood, he has roamed the forests, scavenged the sites where timber smugglers have stripped the mountain of its green mantle.God save the forests of Kodagu from the hungry timber traders.
