Junglescapes, a Bengaluru-based NGO that has been relentlessly working on restoration of degraded forest eco-systems, especially in the Bandipur Tiger Reserve, has bagged the 2017 Full Circle Award given away by Society for Ecological Restoration (SER), a world’s leading body for restoration, head-quartered in Washington DC. Junglescapes is the only second Indian recipient of SER Award.
Rotarian C.R. Hanumanth of Mysuru is a member of the Project Governance Committee of Junglescapes. SER gives biennial awards under three categories. One of the three awards is the Full Circle Award given to an NGO that is recognised for its contribution to the practice of restoration in participation with local indigenous communities. The award to Junglescapes was presented at the SER Global Restoration Conference held in August 2017 at Brazil.
