Consultation Services · Pillar B

Biodiversity & Seed Bank

Reclaimed land only stays healthy inside a living system. We rebuild the ecology around farms, native trees, pollinators, and the traditional seed and herbal knowledge that make restored land resilient.

Services under Biodiversity.

Every service under this pillar, from first survey to full handover.

Native Afforestation & Hedgerows

Miyawaki groves, farm boundary plantations, and shade systems using species native to each agro-climatic zone.

Community Seed Bank

Collection, conservation, and multiplication of native crop varieties, drought-hardy millets, rice landraces, pulses, and vegetables.

Pollinator & Habitat Corridors

Flowering borders, bee habitats, and wetland margins that bring back the species farms depend on.

Herbal & Medicinal Plant Cultivation

Reviving cultivation of traditional medicinal species as a biodiversity asset and a farmer income stream.

From first survey to handover.

How a project under this pillar runs, start to finish.

01

Survey

Baseline biodiversity audit of the site and surrounding landscape.

02

Plan

Species selection matched to soil, rainfall, and the farm's cropping system.

03

Plant & conserve

Nursery raising, planting drives with communities, seed collection rounds.

04

Monitor

Seasonal species counts and seed bank viability testing, published openly.

What it delivers

Outcomes we're accountable for.

Every outcome below is tracked against a published baseline and independently verified, not self-reported.

Native tree cover established on and around restored farms
Traditional seed varieties conserved and redistributed to farmers
Pollinator populations measurably recovering on project sites
Farmer incomes diversified through herbal and agroforestry produce

The species doing the quiet work.

A working reference of the native trees, grasses, seeds, and medicinal herbs we plant, conserve, and document, with the traditional knowledge of the communities who know them best.

Grass · Erosion control

Vetiver (Vetiveria zizanioides)

Deep-rooted hedging grass used across our contour bunds; roots reach 3m and bind topsoil on slopes.

Tree · Water & livelihood

Palmyra (Borassus flabellifer)

State tree of Tamil Nadu; planted along tank bunds for water retention, with every part economically useful.

Seed · Landrace

Kolli Hills Little Millet

Drought-hardy landrace conserved in our seed bank; matures in 70 days on marginal rain-fed soil.

Tree · Soil & pest care

Neem (Azadirachta indica)

Anchor species in our farm hedgerows; seed cake doubles as an organic soil amendment.

Herb · Medicinal

Adathoda (Justicia adhatoda)

Traditional respiratory remedy; a reliable early income crop on newly restored plots.

Herb · Medicinal

Karisalankanni (Eclipta prostrata)

Wetland-margin herb returning naturally to restored tank beds; documented with local healers.
