We cannot afford to have Mollem burning again! The link between forest fragmentation (caused by large infrastructure projects) and the frequency of forest fires has been scientifically proven. Please note  @bhlab_india @visrane #SaveMollem #GoaIsBurning #StopDoubleTracking

[Farai Patel @FaraiPatel]

Forest fragmentation has been shown to increase the frequency of #ForestFires, as well as their intensity and extent, particularly in tropical forests. Stop railway double-tracking through Goa's Western Ghats and our villages! @wii_india #GoaIsBurning #StopDoubleTracking

We stand by the residents of Majorda, Arossim, Velsao, Pale and Cansaulim who are currently resisting the railway double tracking work that will further pollute the River Sal. #StopDoubleTracking #SaveGoasVillages @Joshua_De_Souza @MauvinGodinho @carlosgoa25 @VireshBorkar3

Research shows that worsening fragmentation leads to more fire. In tropical forests, fragmentation causes forest edges to be more susceptible to natural and anthropogenic fires. @RailMinIndia @RailVikas @wii_india @bhlab_india #GoaIsBurning #StopDoubleTracking

Forest fragmentation and development increase the risk of forest fires and put Goa's forests in danger. We cannot have further large infrastructure projects in our Western Ghats.  #GoaIsBurning #SaveMollem #StopDoubleTracking

Rail work is destroying waterbodies, blocking tributaries. Villagers have been raising their voice against these environmental injustices. #GoaIsBurning #StopDoubleTracking @moefcc @byadavbjp @PMOIndia @narendramodi @UNEP @RailMinIndia @AshwiniVaishnaw @WesternRly @NITIAayog

“How can Railways enter someone’s property, claim it is their land, & start working as if there is no law?” asks Alina Saldanha, “the Govt must set the right example & take action on Railways who are working without permission & ownership papers.

Preventing fragmentation of Goa's  Western Ghats will protect them from future fires. However , the government only wants to cut these forests up into smaller and smaller pieces #GoaIsBurning #SaveMollem @HannahEP @borges @Jairam_Ramesh @VijaiSardesai @Yurialemao9 @VenzyViegas

Appalled at what’s happening in #kodaikanal tourist spot - Pillar Rocks. The Forest department builds a wall to block the view so people cannot see it from outside but forced to buy tickets to go in ? Is this how they function? @supriyasahuias @CMOTamilnadu

[Anirban Datta-Roy @clixbyman]

Also worth stating that our own work in Upper Siang on birds conducted entirely in jhum landscape found similar bird diversity. More evidence of how important these landscapes are for biodiversity. @kartix @viv1ram

@PeepalFarm your YouTube video on "Spiti dog feeding" makes a mockery of a serious issue. The growing number of free-ranging domestic dogs present a serious threat to local people, their livestock and wildlife. Irresponsible feeding is not the solution -- provide them shelter.

LONG THREAD: Since 1987, India has assessed its forest cover every two years in its India State of Forest Reports (ISFR), produced by the Forest Survey of India (FSI). The 17th ISFR was released three days ago.

Here I take a closer look at the entire stack of ISFR reports…

@DTDCIndia No action yet!

Pathetic service by @DTDCIndia , they have been unable to deliver a record player from Mumbai to goa in ten days. Each time I call, they raise a 'complaint' and 'escalate' the call. No sign of the delivery! Are they waiting to put it onto Santa's sledge!
