Description: The document discusses the efforts of The Keystone Foundation, an NGO in southern India's Nilgiri Hills, to support indigenous communities, particularly the Kurumbas, who rely on honey hunting and beekeeping for their livelihoods. It highlights the challenges these communities face, such as declining honey hunting skills and lack of recognition, while detailing how the Foundation has implemented projects to improve honey extraction techniques, enhance product quality, and establish better market access. The narrative emphasizes the cultural significance of honey hunting, the importance of community involvement in development processes, and the potential of beekeeping to connect various aspects of rural development, ultimately advocating for a more integrated approach to sustainable livelihoods that considers the diverse needs of these communities.
