Fresh water Swamp of Kathekan:In October 1999, illegal felling of trees was observed in Honnavar division in Gersoppa range. The area where the felling took place was planted with cane as part of the forest conservation project undertaken with funds from the Overseas Development Agency (now DFID). The area is also part of ‘Kathle Kan’ (meaning dark forest), a historic sacred grove.
