I’m Amaya Chopra, doing my Millennium Fellowship project in a group with Layasree Vemmata Gopi. The project is called ‘Flora In and Around Ashoka University’. For the project, we aim to write the 'Flora In and Around Ashoka University' guidebook book which will act as a helpful tool to identify and learn about the flora inside and around our college campus through pictures and descriptions. We will conduct a tree survey using the transect method by dividing the campus into multiple transects, identifying the tree species in them, and then tallying the tree count. Along with the trees, we will include horticultural plants consisting of a wide array of flowering plants, medicinal plants, and food crops that constitute the landscape in and around Ashoka University. We want to write this book because we want to help the people in our community, be it my fellow students, faculty, staff, and residents of Asawarpur, to learn about the nature that surrounds us and appreciate the ecosystem's value, helping bring sustainability and environmental literacy mainstream. So that they can be educated about the flora around us and also be incentivised to help in the conservation efforts of the ecosystem, as the landscape is currently undergoing mass destruction, causing habitat loss for the birds and other fauna here as well, such as the Nilga,i which is Asia's largest antelope.
