PROTECT OUR FORESTS

The #ForestConservationAmendmentBill will put our #ecology severely in danger by #declassifying 197,159 sq. km of #forests, which is 15% of #India ’s forest cover, making it lose protection and leaving it open for destruction through #afforestation, #drilling, replacing forests with #zoos, among other things. It will also exempt a large number of projects from the clearance process
