Save Caves

Dr.Jayant · Mar 23rd, 2007, 02:37

Dear Friends,
India is a country of big forests and mountains. Therefore the existance of subterranean natural caves are very obvious. The most famous such caves are of Siju & Jantia Hills cave of Meghalaya, Kotumsar cave of Chhattisgarh, Belum cave of Andhra Pradesh and few more. However, the awareness regarding cave and cave organisms (known as cavernicoles) are very bleak. Government of India only seeing this caves on the tourist point of view. On the other hand the Cavernicoles are very rare species and may be endangered also. In India there is no such prominent Caving Club is existing, which can be engaged in Cave expedition work. In various remote part of our country, several caves are existing, but are lying in neglected conditions. On Scientific point of view the cave ecosystem is a direct evidance of Darwinism as well as many other Biological and Geological theory. So let us come forward and join hand to Save the caves.

and start Research on this direction. it is a part of wildlife Biodiversity.

-Regards
