We have no escape from the inevitable that some forests will be cleared for infrastructure needs but it should only happen when other alternatives, say diversions, are not feasible ; condition precedent will be 'more areas should be brought under National Park/ Tiger Reserve/ Wildlife corridor ' status. Plantation on barren land must be with indigenous trees, grasses etc. which were originally there since time immemorial.
These replanted area should be left alone for 4-5 years, nature itself will take care.
Only one naturalist can make many improvements. Our Hon'ble Courts are very much concerned about environment.
Fortunately, in West Bengal we have at least one such dedicated professional who has made remarkable contribution for saving inter-alia, the vast wetland of Kolkata.
Thanks for sharing.
