The Western Ghats Ecology Expert Panel (WGEEP), also known as the Gadgil Commission after its chairman Madhav Gadgil, was an environmental research commission appointed by the Ministry of Environment and Forests of India. The commission submitted the report to the Government of India on 31 August 2011. The Expert Panel approached the project through a set of tasks such as: # Compilation of readily available information about Western Ghats # Development of Geo-spatial database based on environmental sensitivity, and # Consultation with Government bodies and Civil society groups. The Christian churches in Kerala and Christian organizations strongly protests the implementation of the report since most of the farmers in the hilly regions are Christians, especially in Wyanad. During the 20th century, a very large number of Christians had migrated from Travancore and acquired forest land in Wyanad and other areas with abundant forest and waste land, in what is known as Malabar Migration. The Gagdil Committee report was criticised for being more environment-friendly and not in tune with the ground realities.〔http://www.rediff.com/news/interview/the-kasturirangan-report-is-a-disaster-for-the-western-ghats/20131230.htm〕 == Ecology Expert Panel == ;Chairman * Professor Madhav Gadgil, Ph.D (Harvard University), Former HOD, Centre for Ecological Sciences, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. ;Members Mr Harisankar.D *Dr. V.S.
