The hill country of the Wayanad, in the Western Ghats, was occupied by agriculturalists from the Kerala coastal area in the South, around two centuries ago, when it was found that this country was rich in forest vegetation, and suitable for growing Rubber, Sandlewood, Pepper vines, Coffee, and many other valuable crops. In the tropical rainforest of this area we find many trees that are unique to this region, and there is a bio diversity which it is now realized must be protected against the exploitation of this land by those who come to mine its rocks, and harvest its wealth of plant life.
