*Press Conference & Public Meeting* 2 Jan 2024, 3 PM, Press Club of India, New Delhi Stop Corporate takeover of Natural Resources! Resist Adani's Loot of Coal, Bauxite & other minerals in the Hasdeo Aranya forests, Sijimali hills of Odisha & State Repression on Adivasis! ✊🏾✊🏾

IPCC says that unless there are immediate & deep reductions in GHG emissions across all sectors and regions, limiting global warming to 1.5°C rise will be an unreachable goal. Destroying dense forests like #SaveHasdeo doesn’t help #SaveHasdeo #हसदेव_जंगल_बचाओ

Urgent actions needed for mitigating climate crisis. But what does India do? Sacrifice one of the best forests for short term corporate greed @RahulGandhi @PMOIndia @moefcc @VishnuDsai @GovernorCG #SaveHasdeo #हसदेव_जंगल_बचाओ india.mongabay.com/2022/04/commen…

@CoalIndiaHQ says no new mines needed for India's needs for forseeable future. Then why destroy ecologically important No-Go regions like Hasdeo Aranya @CREACleanAir @nandi555 #SaveHasdeo #हसदेव_जंगल_बचाओ energyandcleanair.org/wp/wp-content/…

Please support the decade long struggle of the adivasi communities of Hasdeo Aranya to save their rich, bountiful forests from corporate greed and devastation. #SaveHasdeo #हसदेव_जंगल_बचाओ youtube.com/watch?v=T2EiDZ…

Hasdeo GramSabhas have knocked on all doors & possible avenues - wrote thousands of letters, passed Gram Sabha resolutions under PESA & FRA met @bhupeshbaghel other ministers sat on protests dharnas sammelans. Does it count for nothing? #SaveHasdeo #हसदेव_जंगल_बचाओ

Loss of Hasdeo struggle will be a loss of peoples’ movements & ecological struggles across India – it is a test case for key policies (applicability of gram sabha consent in Schedule 5 areas, sanctity of EC & FC processes, No-Go policy) #SaveHasdeo #हसदेव_जंगल_बचाओ

Stand with Hadeo Aranya gram sabhas' struggle to protect their rights and their pristine environment Protect Democracy Save our Constitution Save our Forests #SaveHasdeo #हसदेव_जंगल_बचाओ

Gram sabhas & adivasis of Hasdeo are committed to save their jal-jangal –zameen and their life, livelihood & identity dependent on these forests using all possible constitutional means & non-violent methods of resistance. #SaveHasdeo #हसदेव_जंगल_बचाओ

Gram Sabhas of Hasdeo Aranya have been passing resolutions against mining for several years now. Is someone listening? Or are Adivasi rights just on paper? #SaveHasdeo #हसदेव_जंगल_बचाओ dnaindia.com/india/report-c…

#SaveHasdeo Gram Sabhas, constitutionally & legally empowered to protect their forests (PESA, FRA & Schedule 5), have been passing resolutions against mining for decade. #SaveHasdeo #हसदेव_जंगल_बचाओ youtube.com/watch?v=9grzgU…

Since 2 March 2022, villagers affected by Parsa coal block have been sitting on an indefinite dharna. But governments are busy clearing their mines, ignoring their protests, and deploying brutal state repression & forces to clear way for companies #SaveHasdeo #हसदेव_जंगल_बचाओ

If Hasdeo Aranya is cut down this will directly affect the Bango dam and the 14 species of reptile living on it. It's time to act now. @ChhattisgarhCMO @moefcc #SaveHasdeo #हसदेव_जंगल_बचाओ

Hasdeo is home to more than 111 species of birds. Coal will only destroy their habitat. @PMOIndia @ChhattisgarhCMO @moefcc #SaveHasdeo #हसदेव_जंगल_बचाओ

The elephants of hasdeo past 10 years have become more violent compared to before. It makes us wonder what really has changed here. Maybe Coal lobbies might have the answer to it. @moefcc #SaveHasdeo #SaveHasdeo #हसदेव_जंगल_बचाओ

Elephant in the way of mining? Or mining destroying India’s endangered elephant population? #SaveHasdeo #हसदेव_जंगल_बचाओ firstpost.com/long-reads/the…

In Chhattisgarh @vishnudsai the government started working to loot Adani. Already started cutting of trees has by deploying force for PEKB mine. Many leading local tribals including Ramlal Kariyam, Sarpanch Jaynandan Porte have been arrested. #SaveHasdeo #हसदेव_जंगल_बचाओ

Bjp's @VishnuDsai government has crushed the constitution to destroy Hasdeo Arnaya for the benfit of Adani. Actually, Modi's guarantee was for loot by Adani, misunderstood as development by people. #SaveHasdeo #हसदेव_जंगल_बचाओ

Tree cutting has continued for the 3rd day today for PEKB mining project. Forces outnumber villagers 2:1 and all local leaders have been illegally confined. Social media support and amplification is crucially needed at the moment!!!
