Description
-
The document discusses the efforts of The Keystone Foundation, an NGO focused on improving the livelihoods of indigenous communities, particularly honey hunters and beekeepers in the Nilgiri Hills of Tamil Nadu. It highlights the cultural significance and declining practice of honey hunting among the Kurumba tribe, who rely on this activity for their livelihoods. The Foundation's approach includes enhancing honey extraction techniques, improving market access, and addressing challenges such as lack of recognition and fair pricing for honey products. Through community engagement and capacity building, the Foundation aims to create sustainable development pathways that integrate beekeeping with broader natural resource management and economic opportunities for these communities.
