These energetic sound marks and colours represent the unique plants, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, birds, fish and invertebrates that together make up the intricate ecosystem of the Western Ghats. Many of these organisms are globally threatened, so this rich tapestry demands protection for those species to have a chance of survival.
