completion of the wetland 
The Team: Richard Zook, Rohin, Sailesh and Shyam
The actual physical work started from 12 of Feb 2011 on site but rico’s effort was from much earlier. The before and after photos will give you an idea. The project site at Ramdurg approx was procured by Wild Life SOS which is 3hour drive from Hampi. The area has an array of wildlife species including sloth bears and has good diversity of bird life. Ramdurg has also been projected as a field station and research centre for wildlife. Permaculture concept was the driving force to design the wetland with an objective of habitat and water safe source as well as corridor for wildlife.  The permaculture basic – flows, patterns, zonation, site analysis helped to understand the area and design the wetland. It was a small effort from all of us who were involved team & volunteers.
