With the exception of several species of birds and aquatic creatures‚ attention has been largely focussed on the conservation of the environment. This is not to say that wildlife has been ignored. The government has apportioned pockets of land for the preservation of wildlife. Visitors to the east coast can see tracts of land along the beach set aside as bird sanctuaries

Summary: Water pollution remains one of the most visible and persistent signs of our impact on the natural world. Cleanup of some older pollutants has been offset by new contaminants that threaten freshwater ecosystems and foul our drinking water. The sight and smell of grossly polluted waterways provided some of the original impetus to the environmental movement in the 1970s. Nearly a century before that‚ the dangers of polluted water to human health drove what became known as the "sanitary

A. Conservation of Energy : a) Energy conservation measures taken: 1. Clear juice heating by vapour in place of exhaust steam. 2. Drains of exhaust and live steam collected in a vessel and sent to boiler as feed water. 3. Use of Direct Contact Heater (DCH) for un-sulphured syrup heating with Vapor Cell 1 (VC1) vapours. 4.

The concept of payment to environmental services is a broad umbrella for the conservation of watershed. Watershed is the important part in the livelihood of people. With the watershed people survive and help it thrive. People here are the makers as well as destroyers. Within the watershed there are upstream dwellers that mainly provide the service to the dwellers living downstream. Hence this project is for the conservation of watershed which is mainly based on the payment mechanism where the downstream
