In the superb new issue of #Frontline... a piece by Rohan Arthur and myself:
An obit for Patai Takaru
"Great Nicobar’s mitigation plans reduce #restoration to tree-planting and reef relocation—a deceptive fix for irreversible #ecological loss."

A scathing, devastating critique of the outrageous, thoughtlessly destructive, and ecologically damaging #GreatNicobar infrastructure project, by Pankaj Sekhsaria in #Frontline. Everyone concerned with #nature, #environment, and #biodiversity #conservation in #India should be deeply troubled by this disastrous project and how it's being pushed through.

India’s ‘Alternative To Hong Kong’ Proceeds In Lush Nicobar Island, As Govt Ignores Pleas Of Local Tribals
Over the past 17 years, and most recently in 2022, hunter-gatherers, fisherfolk & farmers of a Nicobarese tribe—inhabiting a rainforest-draped island of the Andaman and Nicobar archipelago for about 50,000 years—have pleaded with the union government to return them to their ancestral land. But with a Rs 72,000-crore plan to build a giant port, international airport, power plant and tourism facilities by cutting about a million trees in 130 sq km of rainforest, the government has erected a wall of silence to their requests to return home.

A vanishing and oft-ignored #ecosystem, vital for coastal safety and #biodiversity: littoral forest, here in Little Andaman island. Past a strip of sandy beach with coral rubble, a bright green skirt of Scaveola tuccada hems a frizzy waistline of Hibiscus tiliaceus, rising into trunk and canopy of a phalanx of sea mahua Manilkara littoralis, interspersed with Elaeocarpus rugosus #trees. #oceans #coasts #india #Andamans

These wonderful giant rain trees, festooned with ferns and orchids and epiphytes, may soon be hacked away to make more way for the road. A man complained and said that the #trees need to be cut because he's scared some branches may fall. So decades old trees will die for more tarmac and unfounded fears. I tried to tell him that these are beautiful and valuable trees. And a few falling branches are a small price to pay for such beauty.
