Kallen Pokkudan from Kannur is a great personality who has put in so much of hard work, dedication and sacrifice to regenerate large sections of lost mangroves. A big salute to him. 
I also offer my salute to Mrs Mariamma Kurien, from Kottayam, who was known as "Kandal Amma" or Mangrove mother, whose mission it was to conserve mangroves. In October her fourth death anniversary was commemorated.
