Dear Dr Kunhi Raman, Butterflies promote cross-pollination.Is there any Butterfly Garden in Tamil Nadu or India. University College Davis in California has startied a "Bee-Haven" in Sep 2010mainly to promote Cross-pollination.Singapore Zoo has one Butterfly Garden. Is it possible to spread the culture of "Butterfl Gardens" TO RURAL AREAS? to promote better cross-pollination The threat of vehicle pollution is far less in these areas.Even TNAU can start a project.
