[Community Network Against Protected Areas (CNAPA) @ConnectCnapa]

CNAPA's public statement on NTCA’s 19th June order to expedite evictions in the name of tiger conservation.

We strongly denounce and resist the ongoing clandestine strategies of the conservation cartels in connivance with NTCA trying to extract profits out of indigenous lands.

@VijaiSardesai @oheraldogoa @Navhind_Times @savemollemgoa Between June 2021 and September 2021 a review committee constituted by CM Pramod Sawant, who was the then Forest Minister, cleared land as Non Private Forest, thus clearing the way for anti Goan Mega Projects favouring Lodha, Zuari and the infamous Bhutani in Sancoale.

1/2 We strongly condemn the raid by the NIA on the residence-cum-office of Advocate Shelly Sharma in Chandigarh. As in the case of Adv. Mehmood Pracha in Delhi, this too is a case of blatant overreach, intimidation and illegality. https://t.co/L9EwoMY8xw

Cheetahs - an Introduction or Reintroduction. India’s Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 forbids the introduction of exotic species to India’s wilds, even if they are genetically close to their Indian subspecies. It is illegal to even provide them with wild prey in captivity.
