The Tea Fauna was started in 2017 as an initiative project. It brought together researchers, tea businesses and farmers. Our project aims the knowledge about biodiversity trends in Asia, better understanding insects fauna in natural tea habitats or plantations, providing useful data for forest conservation and services for local communities to encourage agroforestry practices in tea production.

The project largely involves citizen science. It covers large area across Asia collecting data with the help of the local tea farmers, people living close to natural habitats.
