Western Ghats Monitoring Network
The Western Ghats Monitoring Network is a scientific initiative that tracks environmental health and ecological changes in the Western Ghats, a UNESCO World Heritage site in India. It involves deploying sensors and observation stations to collect data on temperature, humidity, rainfall, soil quality, and biodiversity. This information helps researchers, policymakers, and conservationists understand how climate change and human activities impact the region. The network aims to support sustainable management of the Western Ghats, preserve its rich biodiversity, and address environmental challenges proactively through data-driven decisions.
