The State of Maharashtra is blessed with a few hundred forts built in the era of the Great Maratha king Shivaji Maharaj.

Though a lot of these forts lie in an ignored and dissipated state, these are relics and critical pieces of history.

A very few trekkers visit these forts today so the flora and fauna of these forts are untouched and needs to be studied or documented.

My purpose of initiating this project is do document the natural diversity of plants and animals we have on these forts. Also some of the organisms are endemic to these places.

So I request my fellow naturalists and trekkers to contribute to this project and share the wealth we have in this biodiversity hotspot פחות ↑
