Project Update: May 2010

The preliminary survey was conducted in the rainforest fragments of Anamalai hills to assess the presence of Lion tailed-macaque in isolated fragments.

The satellite data covering the area were procured and processed for geometric and radiometric corrections.

Rainforest fragments were delineated from the satellite data and the statistics was calculated.

Based on the thematic information from the satellite derived data, priority areas have been identified for detailed socio-economic survey

The survey is planned during the months of June and July 2010.
