Here’s something I want you to read, something that simply had to be said, even as I wish for a world where something like this would never have needed to be written. Here’s why.
First, it concerns a proposed project so monumental in its ambitions as in its folly, and so egregious in its likely destruction of vulnerable human lives and ecologies that it deserves all the attention, critique, […]

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.

The enormous tragedy set to befall #GreatNicobar is a "legally-sanitised" disaster wrought by bureaucratic sleight-of-hand, executive callousness, and judicial lapses. As Pankaj Sekhsaria writes, it can even make the most valuable #wildlife sanctuary disappear.

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.
