Day 3 of 5: #earthday2015  Reflection of Western Ghats in Sharavathi backwaters - Shimoga, Karnataka, India. These backwaters was formed when the Linganamakki Dam and Reservoir was constructed over the Sharvathi river - though it originally resulted in loss of forest and land, today this area is part of Sharavathi Valley Wildlife Sanctuary and is home to a rich diversity of flora and fauna.

Day 2 of 5   #EarthDay2015   : Kodachadri - part of Western Ghats in South India - Karnataka - Shimoga
These Shola grasslands and Shola forests are home to variety of endemic flora and fauna - making it a biodiversity hotspot. 
One of the threats for this area is the probability of iron and manganese ore mining in the surrounding hills - so far some of the local people have been succesful in ensuring this place remains protected and no such mining activities are allowed. Today we are able to share a photo of this amazing landscape with you -- all the credit must go to these local heroes.
