Factions within the 'management' have been calling for widespread deforestation, and have now forcefuly started it, by bulldozing trees at night!

I wrote a small opinion piece for the @TheScotsman on what it would have been like if #COP26 was held in my home city #ChennaiRains2021 currently being battered by extreme weather. #ClimateEmergency @earthjournalism @poovulagu @NityJayaraman

This is outrageous. Why was this space dismissed as an option for the new govt hospital then? With the hospital being built elsewhere, acres of forests and wildlife have been destroyed. Now this..

A proposal to convert the defunct Hindustan Photo Films factory in #Ooty, home to a multitude of wildlife species since its closure, into an IT Park, is causing concern among conservationists and local residents

People who use public transport >>>> people who own (& brag) about electric cars.

One of the biggest disclaimers about sustainability is that if you need to spend money to live it, it's not really sustainable. Hint: supply chain

Since I was a child, my family and I always travelled to the Nilgiris. Through those frequent visits, I found my desire to dissolve boundaries between wilderness & human etched landscapes. This was my goal even before I was familiar with terms like conservation and restoration.

Dire cognitive dissonance, given that 'ecologists' on the board have come up with this. The minuscule 2 % surcharge seems like a deliberate distraction to shift outcry away from the basic decision to further open out PAs for 'development'

In a recent article @ndtv has termed important grasslands as 'wastelands'. Over decades, this redundant mindset has caused the destruction grasslands all across the country.

It was heartbreaking this breathtaking pathway inside a shola forest, suddenly get bulldozed to make way for a road to an illegal construction site within the forest. #stopdeforestation #savesholas
