Fieldwork-ing in a grassland in Gujarat's Saurashtra

📷📷The people have spoken! Across the nation, rural and urban citizens unite to demand the scrapping of the Forest Conservation Amendment Bill 2023. #ScrapForestConservationAmendmentBill2023 #SaveIndianForests PMO India MoEF&CC

FCA 2023 will exempt tracts of land along railway lines, zoos/safaris and ecotourism activities, while restricting which forests the law would apply to. #SaveIndianForests #ScrapForestConservationAmendmentBill2023 @pmoindia MoEF&CC

Arid and semi-arid grasslands are biodiverse ecosystems that are already marginalized by policy and governance. The FCA bill will further weaken biodiversity conservation in these areas. #SaveIndianForests #ScrapForestConservationAmendmentBill2023 @pmoindia MoEF&CC

📷📷Our forests are invaluable; their protection is a collective responsibility. Reject the amendment bill now! #ScrapForestConservationAmendmentBill2023 #SaveIndianForests @pmoindia MoEF&CC

The FCA Bill 2023 threatens already threatened grassland species such as the Great Indian bustard, the Bengal florican, the Indian grey wolf and the striped hyena. #ScrapForestConservationAmendmentBill2023 #SaveIndianForests PMO India MoEF&CC

The mangroves and other marine habitats along the Gujarat coast are important for both fisherfolk and camel-herders. The FCA Bill threatens traditional nature-dependent livelihoods. #ScrapForestConservationAmendmentBill2023 #SaveIndianForests @pmoindia MoEF&CC

Exclusion of forests 100 km from the line of control from the ambit of FCA will lead to widespread, unrestricted construction of roads. This is DESTRUCTION, not infrastructure "development". #SaveIndianForests #ScrapForestConservationAmendmentBill2023 @pmoindia MoEF&CC

The biodiverse savanna grasslands of Gujarat and Rajasthan will reverse ongoing conservation efforts to save the Great Indian Bustard from extinction. #ScrapForestConservationAmendmentBill2023 #SaveIndianForests @pmoindia MoEF&CC indiaspend.com/gujarat/the-la…

The savanna grasslands of Gujarat support hyenas, wolves and other endangered species. However they will lose protection if the FCA 2023 is passed. Politicians must #SaveIndianForests #ScrapForestConservationAmendmentBill2023 @pmoindia MoEF&CC

🌲💪 Peaceful demonstrations echo nationwide - it's time to halt the harmful amendment bill. Join the movement! #ScrapForestConservationAmendmentBill2023 #SaveIndianForests @pmoindia MoEF&CC

The FCA Bill 2023 is unconstitutional, threatens livelihoods of millions of people and endangers India's biodiversity. How long should we tolerate the consistent weakening of each of India's environmental laws? #ScrapForestConservationAmendmentBill2023 #SaveIndianForests

🌳📚 Let's uphold the Rio Declaration 1992's principles - protect forests, participate, and seek justice. #ScrapForestConservationAmendmentBill2023 #SaveIndianForests @pmoindia MoEF&CC

Some recommendations can include 1) land that has been declared or notified or is under the process of being notified as a forest following the provisions of the Indian Forest Act, 1927 or under any other law for the time being in force.
