🧵 Implications of #FCAA23 👇(long 🧵 alert! ) In a landmark interim order on Feb 19th, the #CJI led #SupremeCourt (shukriya 🙏!) bench upheld the validity of its 1996 #GodavarmanJudgment in our PIL challenging the constitutionality of the #Forest (#Conservation) Amendment Act 2023. As the case is expected to be heard soon, this thread covers (in part) what hangs in the balance for #India’s #forests #wildlife #ecological security. Read the detailed article here: https://t.co/oHq7mTwxpF Context: The 202/96 Godavarman Judgment was a seminal SC order which specified the scope of the principal FCA, 1980 to encompass forests as per dictionary meaning, irrespective of ownership or notification status. States were directed to set up expert committees (SECs) within a month to notify forests that meet this definition, bringing them under legal protection. See: https://t.co/fFdfK9DrcG 1/

In a landmark (interim) judgement by #CJIDYChandrachud in our case challenging the amendment to the #ForestConservationAmendmentAct & asking for its repeal, the #SupremeCourt asks the govt to "go back" and uphold the “all-encompassing” dictionary meaning of forests as per the 202/1996 #Godavarman case, undermined and practically obliterated by the #FCAA. It ordered the @MoEFCC to issue a circular to this effect to States & UT’s. 1/n #Environment #Forest #Wildlife #Conservation #RepealForestLaw2023 #SaveIndianForests #ActOnClimate #SixthExtinction #BiodiversityCrisis
