The forest canopy, often referred to as the eighth continent has been looked upon in awe since the dawn of mankind. The tropical rainforest canopy is a highly variable environment that provides structural and functional niches for several living organisms. Much of the diversity in tropical forests is found in the canopies and many interactions between organisms also occur in the canopies. Canopies are one of the least studied of terrestrial habitats. In the South Asian region, canopy studies have been few and far between. Canopy science in India is in its infancy. Pioneering work in this field in India has been done by researchers from ATREE on pollination and frugivory at the Kalakad- Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve (KMTR). Apart from these studies, there is very little work on canopies that exists from this region.
