23 LAKH TREES CUT DOWN IN ARUNACHAL PRADESH?KAMALA HYDEL PROJECT!

23 LAKH TREES CUT DOWN IN ARUNACHAL PRADESH?KAMALA HYDEL PROJECT! 🌳 23 lakh trees could be cut down for the Kamala Hydroelectric Project in Arunachal Pradesh. But can planting trees in another state replace a Himalayan forest? The proposed Kamala Hydroelectric Project by NHPC raises serious questions about environmental protection, tribal rights, and sustainable development. Under compensatory afforestation, trees may be planted in a different location when suitable land is unavailable locally. In this case, the proposed afforestation in Madhya Pradesh raises an important question: can trees planted hundreds of kilometres away compensate for the loss of a fragile Himalayan ecosystem? The project also raises concerns about forest-dependent communities, traditional land rights, local livelihoods, and wildlife. ⚖️ Development vs Environment: Where should we draw the line? 💬 Can compensatory afforestation truly replace an ancient forest? How can we protect tribal rights while pursuing development?
