The Sahyadri is wildly alive with the vibrance of a life that is dependent on a very fragile ecosystem under threat. Our research and ecological surveys help to compile an accurate database of the biodiversity of Shillim and its many habitats. The Shillim Institute documents evolving patterns in the ecosystem, along with the changes and disruptions involved with it.

The research helps to create a database detailing the flora and fauna of native, non-native and endemic species. This study on ecology also helps to structure the Institute’s future projects on biodiversity across the Western Ghats. The Shillim Institute shares opportunities to discover nature in its varied multitudes to understand unique animals, plants, and organisms, studying their life cycles and discovering interesting ways as to how this ecological balance can be preserved.
