Lichens of India

The Channel is for disseminating the knowledge on lichens of India. India has a rich diversity of lichens represented by about 2500 species. In India more than 100 researchers are studying lichens on various aspects such as systematics, ecology, conservation, biodeterioration, biomonitoring, biogeography, etc. However, information on these aspects related to India are scarce and scattered. Through this channel, we attempt to provide necessary information, tutorials, presentations, documentaries to both lichen researchers, nature enthusiasts and general public.
The channel was first launched as a part of  Dr. Siljo Joseph's SERB N-PDF project with help from Drs. Sanjeeva Nayaka and Sumesh Dudani.
