The National Board 'for' #Wildlife approves the erasure or shrinking of 35 #ProtectedAreas in defiance of law & Supreme Court orders . Examples:
#Pamed sanctuary, home to critically endangered Wild buffaloes reduced by >12 times the land originally sought for a paramilitary camp.
In Band Baretha sanctuary 2,785 ha excised, ESZ shrunk to 25m to mine pink sandstone for the Ayodhya Ram Temple.
#Ranthambhore (yes): 435 ha of #tigerreserve buffer cut for ACC cement limestone mining despite warnings that the mine lay in a tiger corridor.
Chambal: 207 ha removed from the sanctuary to legalise sand mining across critical gharial nesting banks.
The Central Empowered Committee did not object to a single denotification/boundary alteration/shrinkage abdicated its role as a watchdog .
An analysis by #PrakritiSrivastava & myself for @Article14live
@samar11 @betwasharma
India’s National Board for Wildlife is meant to protect wildlife. Yet from 2014-2026 it recommended 35 proposals to shrink or erase protected areas—for mining, infrastructure, tourism, temples etc, report Prakriti Srivastava & @prernabindra

Why #Wetlands matter
#ProtectedAreas
Time to stop the GOJ from routinely breaking its own rules.
We can't keep sacrificing our island and people on the high altar of 'economic growth'

📄 "Seminatural Grasslands: An Emblematic Challenge for Nature Conservation in Protected Areas"

A #NationalPark is not land waiting to be developed. It is land set aside to be protected.
When we begin to treat #ProtectedAreas as spaces for commercial expansion, we undermine the very purpose for which they were created. The issue is not whether a particular development seems small or well-intentioned. It is whether we are willing to compromise the ecological integrity of our protected areas, one exception at a time.
#MargallaHillsNationalPark is one of Pakistan's most important protected landscapes. Decisions affecting its future must be guided by science, environmental law and the long-term public interest—not short-term pressures.
I share my thoughts in this article for The News on Sunday. I hope it contributes to a much-needed conversation on why protected areas must remain protected.

Wow what a great Constitutional matter has been decided in the #FCC.... To allow private profiteering over health of Nature by flouting all the protocols that govern #NationalParks and #ProtectedAreas. The only USP #Islamabad had over other cities was it's natural environment.
⚠️یہ انتہائی تشویشناک ہے کہ مارگلہ ہلز نیشنل پارک میں قائم کمرشل تعمیرات سے متعلق سپریم کورٹ کے فیصلے کو چیلنج کرنے کے لیے وفاقی آئینی عدالت سے رجوع کیا گیا۔
سوال یہ ہے کہ ہم آج بھی اس بات پر بحث کیوں کر رہے ہیں کہ ایک محفوظ قدرتی علاقے (Protected Area) میں کمرشل تعمیرات ہونی چاہئیں یا نہیں؟
نیشنل پارک کوئی عام زمین نہیں ہوتی۔ یہ جنگلات، قدرتی مسکن اور قدرتی ورثے کے تحفظ کے لیے مختص ہوتی ہے ایسا ورثہ جو صرف ہماری ملکیت نہیں بلکہ آنے والی نسلوں کی امانت ہے۔
سب سے زیادہ افسوسناک پہلو یہ ہے کہ جو ادارے شہروں کی منصوبہ بندی اور عوامی مفاد کے تحفظ کے ذمہ دار ہیں، وہی بعض اوقات ایسے ترقیاتی تصورات کا دفاع کرتے نظر آتے ہیں جو بنیادی ماحولیاتی اصولوں سے متصادم ہیں۔
اور پھر ہم دنیا سے موسمیاتی انصاف، کلائمیٹ فنانس اور پاکستان کی موسمیاتی کمزوریوں کو تسلیم کرنے کا مطالبہ کرتے ہیں۔ #CDA #MCI
🚨 موسمیاتی ساکھ صرف عالمی کانفرنسوں میں تقاریر سے نہیں بنتی، بلکہ اپنے ملک کے اندر کیے جانے والے فیصلوں سے بنتی ہے۔
اگر ہم اپنے دارالحکومت میں موجود ایک نیشنل پارک کا تحفظ نہیں کر سکتے تو دنیا کو کیسے یقین دلائیں گے کہ ہم واقعی موسمیاتی اقدام اور ماحولیاتی تحفظ کے لیے سنجیدہ ہیں؟
ہمیں یہ سوچنا ہوگا کہ ہم اپنی آنے والی نسلوں کے لیے کیا محفوظ کرنا چاہتے ہیں , قدرتی نظام یا چند عارضی سہولیات؟

Dua Lipa Challenges Edi Rama as Albania Protests Escalate: "You Can't Remove Environmental Protections Without Public Consultation https://t.co/Yc3jTqwqNg #DuaLipa #EdiRama #Albania #AlbaniaProtests #LeaYpi #Environment #ProtectedAreas #EnvironmentalProtection #SaveAlbania
"Former #forest officials, conservationists have censured the National Board for #Wildlife & its Standing Committee for approving #development projects within #ProtectedAreas with “scant ecological and scientific evidence” & “no application of mind.”
The SC, NBWL approved 97% of projects within & in immdiate vicinity of #ProtectedAreas between 2014 & 2026.
For context, It's mandate, as per law, is the protection of #wildlife.

Excited to share our new open-access paper in Scientific Reports! We present one of the first large-scale, structured attempts to estimate the risk of human–wildlife conflict (HWC) in protected areas https://t.co/sAEgl8JStu
#Coexistence #HumanWildlifeConflict #ProtectedAreas

The petitioners are grateful to the Delhi High Court, and to Hon'ble judges for hearing this matter and issuing notice. India's #ProtectedAreas are the last refuge of much of our endangered wildlife—and sustain the forests, water and ecosystems on which we all depend. Grateful also to Senior Advocate Prashanto C. Sen, Advocate Shibani Ghosh, and the legal team.
Here's hoping the law prevails. Wish us luck. More importantly, here is hoping that our precious wildlife & their habitat is truly protected, in deed & spirit/ 5/5
Several rationalisations-alteration of boundaries, reduction (eg #Pamed WLS in #Chhattisgarh #Hastinapur in #UttarPradesh & even denotification erasing of #ProtectedAreas eg #GalatheaBay #Megapode #Sanctuary have allegedly proceeded w\o following #SupremeCourt directions requiring such proposals to be placed before the Central Empowered Committee of the #SupremeCourt.4/5
#ProtectWildlife #DelhiHighCourt #NBWL #WildlifeProtectionAct #Conservation

The petition argues that the SC, NBWL rather than b a watchdog & safeguard India's #endangered #wildlife has become a clearing house for projects in
#ProtectedAreas including #TigerReserves with an approval rate of over 97% of proposals it considered between 2014 & 2026. It has considered ~100 proposals in a single sitting several times, precluding any scope of due diligence meaningful scrutiny and application of mind. 2/5

#IBCA congratulates #Ethiopia on piloting a digital #Wildlife monitoring system across 106 #ProtectedAreas.
By integrating satellite, geospatial, digital and unmanned technologies, this innovative initiative will strengthen biodiversity conservation, enhance protected area management, and support evidence-based decision-making for a #Sustainable future.
