Fallen Logs near Karaiyar Lake, Kalakad Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve, Tamil Nadu. Fallen logs litter the shoreline of the large Karaiyar dam in the heart of the Kalakad Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve. This is one of numerous large dams that were built in the Western Ghats to increase irrigation and supply power. The ecological impact of such large projects has been severe. (June 1997)
