A group of experts from the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU) and its Forest College and Research Institute (FC&RI) at Mettupalayam has undertaken a project to identify native grasses and trees palatable for elephants and standardise mass multiplication techniques. The Forest Department set up the eight-member group earlier this year after realising that the areas occupied by native grasses and fodder trees in the wild have been degraded. The team recently submitted an interim report after identifying 29 native grass species and 14 fodder tree species that are palatable for elephants and other herbivores. It also started a nursery for growing these species on the FC&RI campus.
