An Intro to SAI Sanctuary

SAI Sanctuary is an incredible place. Not only is it a paradise for all forms of life-- humans, rare plants, and even rarer animals-- but the ecological services that are protected in this area are crucial for maintaining the entire south Indian region... and protection of this rainforest is critical for the environmental health of our entire globe.

The sanctuary borders the Brahmagiri Wildlife Sanctuary, acting as a buffer between the villages and the primary forest and providing Asian elephants with an unmolested corridor in which to travel freely. Among the animals regularly spotted on sanctuary grounds are the rare Bengal tiger, the Asian elephant, Sambar deer, and leopard, as well as countless rare amphibians and insects.

So what you can do? Come and stay at our cottages! Spread the word about SAI! And donations are always welcome-- they are tax-deductible in India as well as in the United States.
