Abstract The Western Ghats in Kerala are a treasure trove of natural beauty and biodiversity and considered as a nature lover's paradise, with their breathtaking landscapes, rich flora and fauna, and rich cultural heritage. Western Ghats, a biodiversity hotspot, faces unprecedented environmental threats due to unsustainable land use practices. Once a pristine and lush mountain range, the Ghats are now struggling to survive amidst widespread environmental degradation. The region has witnessed devastating landslides, such as the 2018 floods, which claimed hundreds of lives and displaced thousands. The fragile ecosystem is under immense pressure, threatening the very existence of this unique and precious natural heritage. This region's ecological integrity is crucial for maintaining ecosystem services, including water security, soil conservation, and climate regulation. This study examines the impact of human activities on environmental security in the Western Ghats and explores sustainable land use practices to mitigate these threats. This research paper assess the effects of deforestation, agriculture, and urbanization on ecosystem health and identify strategies for sustainable land management, including reforestation, agro forestry, and eco-tourism. It also highlights the need for a multidisciplinary approach to balance human needs with environmental conservation, ensuring the long-term environmental security of the Western Ghats. By adopting sustainable land use practices, we can protect this critical ecosystem and its essential services for future generations.
