What kind of black tea is better in India? Assam produces Organic Red Tea Banaspaty Tea Garden

For a long time, the tea garden built on the forest cover has been in a direct line of fire, and wild animals often sneak into the tea garden. Like elephant atrocities, leopard attacks on villages, hunters poaching unaccounted for one-horned rhinos, most areas are rife with violence, and animal and human losses are increasing. Inside and outside the tea garden, people began to build barbed wire, which prevented direct attacks, but not at all. The war will go on until someone decides to cease fire. Environmentalists, wildlife conservationists, tea garden managers and locals soon realized that the best way to end violence was to learn to share space. Since then, most tea gardens have made remarkable progress in maintaining a balance between the tea garden and the surrounding wildlife. Banaspaty tea Estate is one of the most important tea gardens in Assam, covering an area of 160 acres, located in the Karbi-Along Mountains of Upper Assam. Currently run by the third generation of tea farmers of the Mohan family, it is the first certified organic tea garden in Assam. Since its establishment in 1905, the garden has been trying to protect the surrounding natural animals and plants; coincidentally, Banaspaty literally means flora and fauna. The garden is close to the Kaziranga Forest Reserve, which allows herds of rhinos and elephants to enter the garden. As a result, the garden works with "wildlife enterprises" and Indian tea promoters to create a space for wildlife and humans. Wildlife Enterprise is an independent organization dedicated to protecting the global elephant population. The park draws a variety of activity corridors in various areas of the tea garden to facilitate elephant groups to move undisturbed without fear of poaching, injury or capture. The tea garden was certified as Elephant friendly ™, a certification based on WFEN and the University of Montana's broader influence on group cooperation. Plantations that meet the high standards of protecting elephant habitats and water resources, reducing human-elephant conflicts and mortality, and reducing barriers to elephant movement between elephant habitats are eligible for the certification. Ensure the elimination of fences, wires, gutters and other risks that may harm elephants, and eliminate the risk of elephant poisoning.

The farm also protects endemic tree species such as Hollong, Acacia, Khair and Mekai, which directly leads to the increase in Banaspaty wildlife and birds. Wreath hornbill, big Indian hornbill, dear, dwarf pig, leaf monkey, parrot, magpie and so on feed more than 400 workers and their families in one garden. The community is proud to be able to create a space for peaceful coexistence and work in sync with nature. Another garden that shows extraordinary sensitivity to its surroundings and has made considerable efforts to coexist with nature is Marguerite's Hope, one of Darjeeling's most romantic tea gardens. The tea garden is famous for panoramic views of the Himalayas and gourmet tea, but little is known about its efforts to protect the salamander population. The tea garden is full of lichens and orchids, as well as a lake, which is home to several species of salamanders. Dug up by L. Helegon in 1947 and by the then garden manager, Lake Salamander Bhanjyang Lake, the salamander, it has long attracted wildlife researchers from around the world to study this rare species. Considered a rare and endangered species, the Himalayan salamander is a member of the ancient salamander family, which is known to exist in Jurassic Europe. In India, they are found in Darjeeling, the Kamalang Valley, Ukhrul and the Senapati area of Manipur. Therefore, the conservation of these species has always been the most important, and this is an urgent garden to recognize and make the same response. In 1995, the lake was abandoned after an unfortunate drowning, but in 2003, someone tried to restore it for the sake of salamanders. 15000 species of aquatic life are added to the lake to promote the growth of salamanders. Today, the garden is rich in species. The efforts of these tea gardens to coexist with nature have had a more lasting impact, extending beyond the scope of the surrounding ecosystem. This impact has had a cultural and social impact, and more and more tea gardens have followed their example, recognizing the benefits of ending conflicts and peaceful coexistence. Despite the long road and much needs to be done, a step towards correcting centuries of friction is more effective than any other belligerent measure. This may be a story as old as time, humans and wildlife, but it is time to change the course of the story through better wildlife mitigation plans by conservation agencies and tea gardens.
