Forest surveys and studying honeybees in the wild,

Description
-
Through the “Bees, Biodiversity and Livelihoods” project, Keystone conducted extensive studies on bees in the wild. NTFP resource assessments
across the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve helped us understand the forest types. Using mixed social–ecological methods, surveys began with
community mapping and ground-truthing walks that revealed the richness of wild foods, medicinal plants and sacred species. These findings
guided the placement of value-addition units, strengthened local biodiversity knowledge, and generated field guides, datasets and research
that continue to inform community action.
