- Scientist E, Benniamin, is leading the charge in conserving endangered species in the Western Ghats region of India. He believes that the garden project will play a crucial role in preventing the extinction of these plants.
- The project, which kicked off in 2023, has researchers collecting seeds from unique plants found in Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Goa. These seeds are then grown into saplings in a lab before being planted in the garden.
- Maharashtra’s endemic species will be a major focus of the garden, but plants from Karnataka will also be featured. This includes rare species like the nutmeg, blistering varnish tree, and blackboard tree.
- The garden will not only showcase endangered species but also include plants like the wild nutmeg and Syzygium stockssi, which are native to India.
- The project is a collaborative effort to protect and preserve the diverse plant life found in the Western Ghats region. Benniamin and his team are dedicated to ensuring that these species have a fighting chance against extinction.
