Sahyadris: Mountains of the Monsoon (DVD)

On the Malabar coast of southern India, along the Arabian Sea, lies a range of mountains known as the Western Ghats, or Sahyadris. Far more ancient than the larger and better-known Himalayas to the north, the Sahyadris harbor the most intact rainforests of peninsular India. Within these forests are countless species of flora and fauna found nowhere else on earth, making this one of the most biodiverse regions on planet

SAHYADRIS: MOUNTAINS OF THE MONSOON follows the wildlife of these mountains, from the peaks of the High Ranges, where the drama of the Nilgiri tahr rut—never before fully captured on camera—takes place during the height of the monsoon, to the thick shola forests, home to the highly endangered Lion-Tailed Macaque, to the dry deciduous forests at the foothills of the mountains, where elephants and other wildlife wait in expectation for the coming deluge. Also explored is the relationship between spirituality and the strong conservation ethos of India, a land of over a billion people.
