🧵 Implications of #FCAA23 👇(long 🧵 alert! ) In a landmark interim order on Feb 19th, the #CJI led #SupremeCourt (shukriya 🙏!) bench upheld the validity of its 1996 #GodavarmanJudgment in our PIL challenging the constitutionality of the #Forest (#Conservation) Amendment Act

🧵 Thanks Saket Gokhale MP for raising the issue of #constitutional challenge to the #ForestConservationAmendmentAct2023 in the #SupremeCourt in the #Parliament today . Excuse my unparliamentary language but the response you got from the Hon minister Bhupender Yadav was bunkum. I am

India does not know where many of its forests are, who owns or governs them, if they are protected, encroached or cut for building hotels, dams or malls #PrakritiSrivastava @krithika_1193 & prerna singh bindra 🐘🐅🐾 dissect #Modi govt’s dodgy forest data article-14.com/post/parks-pla…

Between 2013-2023, India lost 23,300 sq km of forest land, 95% in natural forests: Global Forest Watch.

UN's Food and Agriculture Organization lauded #India recently for its #forest cover increase, relying on Forest Survey of India (भारतीय वन सर्वेक्षण) reports. But has it really? #PrakritiSrivastava @krithika_1193 & I uncover hard-truths & show that #FSI uses misleading methodology, ignores #SupremeCourt orders, relies on inconsistent,

prerna singh bindra 🐘🐅🐾 Jairam Ramesh Food and Agriculture Organization Forest Survey of India (भारतीय वन सर्वेक्षण) Krithika Thank you prerna singh bindra 🐘🐅🐾, Krithika and #PrakitiShrivastava for highlighting this very important concern, that seems to be lost in all the noise around. This article really brings out how close to precipice India stands. Despite court orders, illegal mining continues eating

The Forest Survey of India (भारतीय वन सर्वेक्षण) and @Moefcc has delayed its 2023 report/not been put in public domain. Why? Is it that their misleading methodology, use of incomplete data & worse non-compliance of #SupremeCourt orders stands exposed? Read #PrakritiSrivastava @krithika_1193 & my analysis of

A masterclass in how NOT to report Economic Times . Sensational, irresposible, #journalism (if v can all it that) serves no purpose, fuels conflict, rumours , scare-mongering, maligns #wildlife , leads to lynching of a of of animals including of other species altogether

Violating 3 #SupremeCourt orders & its own rules, #Modi govt has cleared, since Feb 2024, 56 proposals to cut prime, natural forests & afforest areas that are already forest, write Prakriti Srivastava prerna singh bindra 🐘🐅🐾 & @krithika_1193 article-14.com/post/growing-n…

The MoEF&CC & its regional offices have cleared 56 proposals to divert prime, natural forests for #development projects in blatant voilation of #SupremeCourt's Feb 19, 2024 order in the #forest amendment law case, write #PrakritiSrivastava @krithika_1193 & I for Article 14

India's forest policies are headed in an utterly mindless direction, citizens pay attention! Defying 3 SC orders, inc. a Feb '24 SC order upholding challenges to the Forest Conservation Amendment Act, the centre has allowed using existing forests for compensatory afforestation.

Today the PM is giving one more evidence of the difference between his 'talk' and 'walk' on environment and forest matters. The Ken-Betwa river linking project for which he is laying the foundation stone today poses a serious threat to the biodiversity-rich Panna Tiger Reserve

Saving #tigers? by submerging, blasting destroying the heart of a #tiger reserve? #Panna, A tiger reserve painstakingly revived after all its tigers went #extinct in 2009. Home to the almost-extinct #caracal & the smallest wild cat-the rusty spotted cat.Nearly 90 sq km of prime

🧵 The 2023 Forest Survey of India (भारतीय वन सर्वेक्षण) (FSI) registers a marginal increase in #India’s #forest cover by 156 km², a deceitful inflation that hides an inconvenient truth of colossal loss of natural #forests as an analysis by #PrakritiSrivastava @krithika_1193 & myself shows.
