Forest land diversion means destruction of lakhs of old-growth grandmother trees & diversity causing more forest land diversions that can trigger zoonotic diseases @PMOIndia @moefcc @PrakashJavdekar   #SatyagrahaAgainstEIA2020 #WithdrawEIA2020

War Over Bauxite: Tribal-Police Clash In Rayagada Village Road Project, Mahua Moitra Slams President. Armed with traditional axes and stones, tribal villagers in Odisha’s Rayagada engaged in a violent multi-hour standoff with police to block a road project linked to a major bauxite mine. The clash, which left senior officers critically injured and forced police to resort to tear gas, marks a deadly escalation in the years-long resistance against mining in the ecologically sensitive Sijimali hills. While the administration has imposed Section 163 to restore order, the local community vows that their land will not be sacrificed for corporate bauxite extraction.

Looks like a gymkhana for IAS officers is more important than natural buffers to help manage flooding and regulate climate conditions.

Miyawaki and Oxygen Park ??? Is there any relevance ????

just how toothless and impotent the law be?? the NGT emerges AFTER much bloodbath has taken place, and then, they cannot hold back the massacre beyond a handful of days; just enough time for the devils to return with sharpened axes! the national 'only interim' green tribunal 👿

Every tree lover needs to ask this.. A straight fwd question.. #SaveFullyGrownTrees #TheBigTreeQuest #Nashik #Hyderabad #Mumbai #Delhi #EverywhereinIndia

Delhi’s heat crisis has a simple, proven fix; TREES… New study shows raising tree cover fm 3%—11% can cut “felt heat” by about 1 deg C, more impact than urbanisation adds. Urban forests aren’t just cosmetic. They’re critical infrastructure & must be protected at any cost🌳

Thousands Of Trees Cut Down In Bihar For The Adani Power Plant.

What’s unfolding in Rayagada, Odisha, is deeply alarming. You can’t talk about tribal rights without addressing land rights, but that’s where power resists. In a system that values land only for extraction and “development,” its life sustaining role is dismissed. No surprise many tribal voices in power stay silent, there’s little “value” in speaking up. More power to the mothers💙✊ @rashtrapatibhvn @CMO_Odisha

@mhemachari @Warriormomsin @WMMaharashtra @vandymini @suratkal @ChaitanyaKet @ChaloPmc @VinitaDeshmukh @RajaSubramani22 @BhavreenMK @TamhiniGhat NGT is as compromised as ECI. IT allowed Mumbai to turn to a desert, it did not object to deforestation in MP, J&K, Chattisgarh, Haryana... Not a single state is left including Andaman where 1 Crore trees are felled and tribals murdered.

@Vatrukh @CsPunjab @PbGovtIndia @kkuruganti @Climate_Allies @asia_climate @UNEP @mohitk1 @PBB_GoP This is the problem when organisations with no experience, knowledge for the purpose of CSRs funds become self acclaimed experts and harm Trees instead on ground & policy. @NDNS_HQ

Vatrukh Foundation had suggested Digital Tree Aadhar for Heritage Trees of Punjab to @CsPunjab @PbGovtIndia this will help in the long run. Trees are our direct supply of oxygen.

Delhi’s tree transplantation reality; Policy target: 80% survival
Actual survival: @ 30–50% That means nearly HALF the transplanted trees don’t make it. #TreeTransplantation policy is a ‘licence’ to kill. @BhavreenMK @Warriormomsin @NDNS_HQ @fridays_india

Far more dangerous for a govt official to confront sand mafia than dacoits in ravines.

Heartbreaking to see many 250-year-old trees cut down by the Indian government without a clear reason! 🌳😔 #Trees #Government #India

"Trees have been buried under the debris, and fresh saplings are being planted on the same site without any scientific restoration. Noticed, dead tree stumps which have been passed off as transplantation." Citizens are being majorly bamboozled by the govt. #Aarey

TIP for the day: every morning spend a few quiet moments in the embrace of nature. Total stress buster! 😊😊

The Forest Advisory Committee has approved a plan to fell approximately 123,000 trees. The clearing of this massive tract of contiguous jungle in Maharashtra’s Gadchiroli is to be offset by planting replacement forest 1,000 kilometres away, in 23 fragmented patches, on land the government’s own data shows is already largely forested. hindustantimes.com/india-news/for…

#TreeCensus is not just a counting exercise, it’s the foundation for climate resilient urban planning, if executed with data, transparency & accountability.
