Tea estates, being semi-natural plantations, are expected to play a significant role in the conservation of the country’s biodiversity. Recent developments of product diversification, agro forestry and protection of natural areas as mini reserves are increasing the contribution which the estates can make.
Presenting the initiatives being undertaken on our tea estates, largely driven from the perspective of improving biodiversity conservation. This book attempts to address the broader benefits from conservation initiatives whilst emphasizing those related to restoring ecological health to productive land systems. Furthermore it highlights the key role which responsible private sector land managers can play in delivering significant and positive environmental outcomes.
Capturing a series of illustrative case studies aiming to foster learning from experience involving productive landscapes and the role of business, we expect this publication to significantly raise awareness and further stimulate partnerships
