Last Forest Enterprises Pvt Ltd
About
Based in Kotagiri in the heart of the Nilgiri mountains, our brand has been a market facilitator for wild forest produce that is harvested by indigenous communities since 1995.

These communities are value adding forest and agriculture products, which are natural, wild and local.

We believe that the spirit of the forest is about growth that is meaningful, balanced and contributing.

For the au courant seeking aesthetic and socially responsible solutions, Last Forest is a sustainable marketplace that provides eco-friendly, thoughtful and meaningful options that directly involves communities.

Although established as a social enterprise in the year 2010, the basic principles that govern Last Forest can be traced back to the year 1993.

A joint expedition to explore the rich hills of the Nilgiris Biosphere led us to the unique and distinct communities who reside in these hill ranges.

Majority of such communities are indigenous and form the core of the ecosystem.

These communities have been residing in these forests for centuries and have been a major pillar for protection of forest cover and biodiversity.

Collection of Forest produce constitutes the primary source of livelihood for the entirety of the indigenous population.

No proper research existed on creating and sustaining livelihood opportunities for these indigenous communities.

This paved way for setting up of Keystone Foundation in the year 1993, in the hills of Kotagiri, a small town belonging to the Nilgiris.

Keystone’s endeavour is to conserve biodiversity by keeping indigenous communities in the middle of such conservation measures while creating sustainable livelihood opportunities.

To understand the local livelihood activities and opportunities, we conducted the first ever survey in Tamil Nadu on ‘Honey Hunters’ & ‘Beekeepers’.

Through the years we understood that a deficiency in the system of livelihood creation and sustenance was the lack of a market for honey and other forest produce collected by our communities.
