Campaign: Osai volunteers distributing pamphlets at the Gandhipuram in Coimbatore to the passengers bound for Udhagamandalam on Tuesday. —
Coimbatore: To mark the World Earth day observance, Osai, a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) involved in conservation of ecology, distributed handbills on the do’s and don’ts at the Gandhipuram central bus stand to the passengers travelling to the Nilgiris.Osai activists K. Kalidasan, M. Ganesh, K.R. Karthikeyan, Kovasi Sathasivam and Avainayagam along with students’ volunteers handed over the handbills to these passengers with an appeal: “Queen of Hills with lush green pastures is just not a tourist spot – it is the spot for origination of many rivers and a purifier of the air to enable human beings to breath healthy. Let your visit not result in threat or danger to the rich flora and fauna that made UNESCO declare the Queen of Hills as the Nilgiris Biosphere Reserve”.
Never carry plastics with you or leave them behind in the Nilgiris since they could kill wildlife and endanger the ecological balance. Tourists were also advised to refrain from feeding the wildlife with cooked food since it would leave the wildlife sick. The jungles have enough to feed the wildlife.
Jungles are not recreation spots for entertainment, every visitor should learn to remain silent and enjoy the nature at its pristine glory in peace. Preserving nature is a must, since it alone has got the ability to make humanity live in good health, the pamphlet said. For details, the handbills seeks to establish contact with those who have a concern for nature at pasumaiosai@yahoo.com
