Phalguni Institute of Nature and Ecology (PINE) can be established for the purpose of promoting the growth of flora and fauna in Dakshina Kannada.
In the nation of Bharat, in Sanskrit, it is referred to as sasya and syamala. The evolution of prakriti, which refers to the modifications in all beings, plants, trees, and all related areas in practical terms, needs to be allowed to bloom.
Indian soil, in its diversity, accommodates all varieties of plants. This is amazing, and this includes water management, the ability to work with one’s own hands and feet, and the application of the joys of sight, sound, touch, feel, and taste.
In the Phalguni Basin, which in its course ends in the city of Mangalore, the river flows through the city and encircles it.
It joins the Netravati River at the delta. This river is 83 kilometres long, originating from the Western Ghats, and its riverbanks will need to flourish with nature and ecology, without intrusion from pollution or man-made atrocities against nature.
The broad aim of PINE is:
a. To promote the Phalguni River Authority;
b. To protect the River Banks agenda by encouraging alternatives to land-bank methodologies and invoking ecological depositaries and nature enclaves;
c. The construction of local habitats that are suitable for enjoying all the seasons of the year;
d. To construct piers dynamically and facilitate moderate and safe boating;
e. To adapt to the seasons, in the Indian context of ritu.
They are:
– the summer season,
– the rainy season,
– the harvest season,
– the cool and cold season, and
– the spring season.
Temperatures remain moderate around the year in the Coastal Karnataka region.
Mild weather attracts human beings to interact more with nature than with extremes, as extreme cold and extreme heat are not present in our region.
Augmentation will happen when there is abundant growth of vegetation. No part of the earth should be left without tree or plant cover, thereby enabling the ecology to improve and allowing small plants and trees to absorb the carbon dioxide generated by all forms of emissions from mechanical and fuel-driven devices or equipment.
Every portion of the area can be utilised for small affordable homes. Materials, labour, and tools can combine to produce the requirements of vegetables, coconuts, and all nuts grown within the region. Local vegetables that can be adopted for consumption in all edible forms may be encouraged.
The theme “Buy Local” will be encouraged to promote good consumption practices.
Avoiding the use of materials or media that may adversely affect the ecological system can also be encouraged.
