Forest First Samithi was founded in 2010 by Meera Chandran after she began clearing invasive Lantana camara from her family's land in Wayanad, and has since grown into a science-based invasive-species removal and native-forest restoration effort. It works with the Kerala Forest Department on large-scale clearance projects, including a widely reported Senna spectabilis removal programme.
