This is a brief overview of the program proposed by Dr. Cédric Gaucherel, Head of the Ecology Department, in the framework of his appointment at the IFP.
It is based on the study of Indian endemism, as a central scientific concept for gathering knowledge and skills in the Ecology Department. After a summary on the ways to help improve our understanding as well as our conservation of endemism in south India, a discussion will be held on the feasibility and priorities of this program.
