Shade-tree census reaches its 200th estate
A landmark for the Association's biodiversity programme as the shade-tree census passes 200 participating estates.
The Association's shade-tree census has reached a milestone, with its 200th estate now enrolled in the programme.
The census maps the shade canopy across member estates, building a picture of the biodiversity that sustains shade-grown coffee and the wider ecology of the Western Ghats. Participating estates receive guidance on shade management and native species.
