Request to @PMOIndia: Please ensure Delhi Govt stops this mass cruelty. True leadership is measured by kindness to the weakest.

From vape pens to nicotine pouches, the tobacco industry keeps reinventing addiction; but this time, they're targeting our kids with sleek, flavored, invisible poisons.
Mothers Against Vaping @MomsAgainstVape, has written to the @MoHFW_INDIA demanding an immediate ban on nicotine pouches and other "new-age" tobacco products.
These aren’t harmless alternatives. They’re silent saboteurs, damaging young lungs, rewiring brains & threatening futures. #WarriorMoms @DNilakanta57685 & Sangeeta Chauhan sharing experiences of moms finding vapes in child’s schoolbag or another watching her teenager’s grades crash, asthma worsen, and energy fade, all traced back to fruity, bubblegum flavored nicotine.

Our children deserve clean air and clean lungs💙
They deserve minds not hijacked by addiction💙
And we, as mothers, deserve the right to raise them in a country where profits don’t come before public health💙
Warrior Moms are not just fighting for a ban. We’re fighting for awareness, enforcement, and protection. Because when it comes to children’s health, there are no compromises. Ban nicotine pouches. Stop the next addiction wave before it begins! @PMOIndia

So, finally the 'India State of Forest Report 2023' by @ForestSurvey is out today in 2 volumes consisting of 796 pages. Some quick observations:

1. India's forest cover stands at 7,15,342.61 km²,ie 21.76% of the geo area. Including tree cover outside recorded forests, this rises to 25.17% (1,12,014.34 km²). While a slight increase is observed since 2021, regional variations are important.

2. India's forests play a vital role in climate change mitigation, storing approximately 7,285.5 Mt of carbon. Soil is the largest reservoir (4,012 Mt), followed by above-ground biomass (2,374.4 Mt), remaining in below-ground mass, deadwood, and litter. This highlights the importance of natural forests over our fantasy of plantations with no focus on undergrowth.

3. Significant declines were seen in M.P. (-612.41 km²), Karnataka (-459.36 km²), & Ladakh (-159.26 km²). Over the last decade (2013-2023), Arunachal (-1,085 km²), Mizoram (-987.7 km²), & Nagaland (-794 km²) have faced the largest losses.

3. Mangrove forests declined by 7.43 km², with Gujarat (-36.39 km², esp Kutch alone -61.14 km²) and Andaman (-4.65 km²) reporting the highest losses. Andhra (+13.01 km²) & Maharashtra (+12.39 km²) showed gains.

4. Forest Fires: Between November '23 and June '24, 34,562.33 km² of forests were affected by fires. Andhra Pradesh (5,287 km²), Maharashtra (4,095 km²), and Telangana (3,983 km²) reported the highest areas. Increases in fire incidents were alarming, especially in Himachal Pradesh (14-fold) and Uttarakhand (4-fold). Districts like Nainital, Garhwal, and Shimla entered the top 20 for forest fires. The significant rise in incidents in these regions raises compelling questions about the underlying causes. Could this be attributed to climate change, monitoring, or something else?

5. B/w 2011-2021, India lost 30,808 km² of open & scrub forests alongside 14,073 km² of moderately dense forests and 1,816 km² of dense forests to "non-forest" uses. The report mentions carbon sequestration potential of 406.05 MT of carbon from these degraded lands but is silent on non-forest uses. . In my understanding, these areas are already home to some of the country’s most significant engineering projects—mines, highways, and strategic developments of national importance—and many are being planned or approved following the latest amendments to the Forest Conservation Act. Yet, despite this acknowledgment, FSI holds up a mirror to our collective failures. Carbon Sequestration Potential or Carbon Sink lost—ultimately, it amounts to the same. The recent amendments to the Forest Conservation Act in 2023 are a disaster and the number is only going to increase significantly in coming years.

6. The Western Ghats lost 58 km² of forest over the last decade. Nilgiris district lost 123 km², while Uttara Kannada gained 160km². The ESA notification is pending since 2013.

7. Agroforestry-related tree cover in urban regions has declined over the last decade. Lakshadweep (-66.56 km²), D&N/Daman and Diu (-36.2 km²), & Delhi (-33.48 km²) are the most affected.

While the report indicates a net gain in national forest cover, this marginal increase masks concerning regional forest losses, particularly in biodiversity-rich areas such as the Western Ghats, North-East, Open Natural Ecosystems, Islands and other natural ecosystems. These findings raise urgent concerns about the effectiveness of current conservation efforts, policies and the government's priorities.

Some thoughts:-

[Fridays For Future India @fridays_india]

Many voices, protests, data, media articles & public hearings over a decade showed how toxic ash in parks & balconies/heavy metals around the plant, were causing health issues on the rise.
Most polluted city in the world cannot afford to get more polluted.
