#StandWithSiang 1.5 lakh people from indigenous tribes in North East India will lose their ancestral homes+lands+livelihoods+heritage sites by proposed 11000 MW mega dam on Siang river that will submerge 27 villages & cause irreversible ecological damage. This is unacceptable😡

Siang Upper Multipurpose project is proposed in Seismic Zone 5 with threat of dam triggered earthquakes, flooding etc. Glacial Lake Outburst Flooding is an imminent threat due to #climatechange induced rapid glacier melting of Siang & Dibang rivers in Arunachal. #StandWithSiang

Compassion towards animals is part of the fundamental duty of every citizen (Art. 51A(g)) irrespective of whether one is an animal lover or not. Insisting on deposit for approaching the court creates another hurdle in access to justice.

Legal Initiative for Forest and Environment Courts asking citizens to deposit money to intervene in public interest litigation matters is a huge barrier to justice. Today, this order has been passed by SC in the #SaveDelhiNCRDogs matter. Tomorrow, the courts can apply this for all ecological & social justice issues.

XPLORE: Why Haryana’s ‘dictionary’ definition of forest is debatable, Haryana Govt defines forest as per ‘dictionary’ meaning; environmentalists argue Aravalli forests will be exposed

Haryana's new definition of ‘forests’ will end up excluding the state's Open Natural Ecosystems & large portions of un-notified Aravalli forests from legal protection. In a semi-arid state like Haryana, climatic conditions do not support having forests with 40% canopy density.

Haryana has lowest forest cover in India: a mere 3.6% as compared to national average of 20%, 8 of 50 most polluted places globally, is extremely water stressed+climate sensitive. How will millions of people living here survive if more forests are taken out of legal protection?

People living in lap of the 2 billion year old highly threatened Aravalli range in North West India stand in support of Ladakhi people’s demand to have 6th Schedule to protect their land, ecology, cultural identity which are under threat #JusticeForLadakh #ReleaseSonamWangchuk
