Ranni Forest Division

Ranni Forest Division, Forest division in Kerala, India

Description

Ranni Forest Division is a forest area in Kerala that stretches across three ranges and contains different forest types alongside water systems. Multiple forest stations manage the area and support research and conservation work.

History

This forest area was established as an official division in 1958 and incorporated several existing protected forests. This founding marked an organized approach to protecting and managing forest resources.

Culture

The Ulladan, Vettuvan, and Malavedan communities have lived in these forests for generations, maintaining their connection to the land. Their presence shapes how this area functions as both a forest and a home.

Practical

The area is accessible through several forest stations that serve as entry points. The best time to visit is during the dry season when forest paths are easier to walk.

Did you know?

The area shelters a remarkable variety of wildlife, including hornbills and cobras. These species thrive here because the forest mosaic offers different habitats for each.
