How this trip
makes a difference to local community and environment:
Spice tours were initiated to support small time farmers and spice planters in and around Wayanad areas to find alternative, supplementary source of income. This provides a glimpse of the issues surrounding the struggles of spice farmers in terms of price crash and issues of globalization. Second day is focused on the natural and social environment we live in. Visit to Rainforest Garden involves interaction with community who initiated the rainforest regeneration and the later half of the visit benefits the community living in the alternative school campus. Third day of the activities provides supplementary income to the non profit organization in maintenance of the workshop and associated areas. Trekkers and guides are from the local communities and the programs are operated by them. These are people who live on the fringes of the wildlife areas. All parts of our trek routes and campsite follows zero waste management. During and after every trek, we collect and dispose plastic waste that might have been left behind by other tourists and local people. Visit to potters community is an appreciation to the efforts to rehabilitate the potters by the NGO Khumbahm. Our visits expand the knowledge about the program and provide them financial support. The day with the musicians help them to promote their art forms, make known to the rest of the world their musical styles and also provides with them a source of income which given the nature of festivals in Kerala is seasonal. These are also lower caste members of the communities who otherwise, wouldn’t get an opportunity to perform in esteemed musical gathering. The last day shows supplementary source of income for a non profit school that runs the ‘Kalari’ to maintain the school. Certain part of the proceeds from this go to support the school and the Kalari. Supplementary income coming to the members of the school also makes sure that they maintain their interest in the martial art forms in terms of economic viability. |
