SARA Centre’s unique position within the rural landscape of the Western Ghats in Karnataka is a privilege, offering a multifaceted role in informational endeavours and community engagement. This region, recognized by UNESCO as a world heritage site and by environmentalists as a biodiversity hotspot, provides invaluable insights into the effects of global warming and climate change. As an eco-sensitive zone with some case studies, SARA Centre is a privileged observatory for monitoring environmental shifts.
SARA Centre, harmoniously nestled amidst the lush landscapes of small farming households, is a testament to balance and sustainability. Its infrastructure is carefully designed to accommodate a variety of activities, including a nursery, a seed bank, artistic exhibitions, informational workshops, residencies, and studio spaces.
Over the past few years, a united front has tirelessly worked to breathe new life into the once-depleted forests around the Centre. Hundreds of indigenous plant species have been painstakingly cultivated and catalogued, representing a shared dedication to rejuvenating the natural ecosystem. This shared commitment, nurtured by SARA Centre, motivates and propels the conservation mission, instilling a sense of community and collective responsibility.
