Wayanad is picture perfect yet features among the poorest districts in the country

The district is facing an ecological crisis largely because of poor policy decisions taken without considering its delicate ecology

13 rivers originate from Wayanad, making it integral to Karnataka and Tamil Nadu's water security

Though Wayanad is endowed with enviable natural beauty and resources, it also has the highest number of farmer suicides in Kerala

It is also the only district in the state to feature on NITI Aayog’s list of 115 most backward in the country

One-third of Wayanad is under forest. The district produces over 80% of Kerala's coffee

From elephants to tigers, Wayanad has several species of animals that live in its forests
