Avadi Biodiversity Conservation Foundation

Avadi Biodiversity Conservation Foundation is based at No.24 on Rajadurai Street. It's in the Nandavana Mettur area. We've been here for a while now. The neighborhood is mostly quiet, which is nice for the kind of work we do. We spend a lot of time looking at local plants and trying to keep track of the animals around this part of Avadi. It’s not a fancy operation. We have a few rooms where we keep our notes and gear. Sometimes the local kids come by and ask what we are doing. We tell them about the trees or the birds we see. Rajadurai Street can get a bit dusty when the wind picks up, but it's home for us. We don't have a huge staff, just a few people who care about the environment here. Every morning we start by checking our plans for the day. Sometimes we go out into the field, and other days we stay in the office to organize things. It’s practical work. We don't use big words or try to act like we're some big city corporation. We're just people in Avadi doing what we can for the nature around us. Most people in Nandavana Mettur know where we are. We just want to make sure the local biodiversity doesn't get forgotten as the town grows. It's a lot of walking and observing, really. Nothing too complicated.
