You can actually go there?
Explore ECO – the great biodiversity of the jungles, the groves or even a patch of green growing wild. Indian jungles, unlike those in the west, boast of continuously evolved ecosystems. Alive on its own, not managed by humans – an Indian respect for the wild!
What's that?
Look around, and there is something interesting to spot. Shelf mushroom or something else – it’s exciting to find new things and learn about them. There is so much more the ECO world has, waiting for you to discover.
No, it’s not paint. It is a lichen. Lichens are two organisms in one! Lichens may have tiny, leafless branches, flat leaf-like structures, flakes that lie on the surface like peeling paint. See and learn more amazing ECO facts, while in nature!
Can you identify?
Get spotting ECO! Be it birds or dragonflies! Yes, not just birds but dragonflies. Learn some interesting facts, observe and ask questions. So much to see and enjoy. Spend wonderful time in nature.
What and why of things.
Oh that red! When so much green, what role does red play? Enjoy the colors of nature and wonder about them – think, discuss and learn things you now want to know!
We bring to you a growing list of ECO places to explore nature up close. So much is offered in each place, if only we can open our eyes, someone can guide how, and a book that can tell us what it is. There are seasonal changes, birds migrate, plants flower and shed their leaves. A red dragonfly, a little tucked away fern under a rock, an eagle in the sky or that hard to see lizard on the rock, there are not one but so many! It takes beautiful hours just finding and identifying them. A whole day spent doing it in the country with perhaps a hill fort or an old temple or a lake or a simple cluster of houses.
