The efforts to save the Western Ghats, is a journey. And the way ahead in this journey is long and arduous. There are lots of stands to take, lots of agitations to start, lots of decisions to make. There a lot of innovations to be turned into major successes and a lot of vested interests to be changed to failures. To those who attended, the SWG Meet-‘Practitioners’ Conclave’, Mahabaleshwar, we say, Thank You. To those who could not, there are still many opportunities to work together. Let us move ahead with our old goals but with new alliances at hand and new motivation in our heart. We intend to change this website into a forum which can give space to new discussions, ideas and interactions for the Western Ghats.
