Project “Save the Environment and Regenerate Vital Employment” (S.E.R.V.E.)
Collaboration with the WWF Darjeeling is located at the foothills of the Eastern Himalayas. It comprises an area of 3.143 square kilometers – 18 percent of which are tea plantations, and 38 percent are covered in forest. Because of its great abundance of plants and animals, the region has also been nicknamed “Land of Orchids,” “Land of Tea,” and “Land of the Red Panda.” Four wildlife sanctuaries (Mahananda, Neora Valley, Senchal, and Singalila), and the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway – a famous World Heritage site – attract many tourists.
