Green tag sought for Western Ghats

MUMBAI: The entire Western Ghats must be considered as ecologically sensitive, especially to ensure the sustainability of the rivers of the Indian Peninsula, the Madhav Gadgil Committee report has said. Peninsular rivers such as the Krishna, Godavari and Cauvery that drain the Deccan Plateau and flow eastwards originate in the Western Ghats.

"Hundreds of shorter perennial monsoon fed west flowing rivers like Sharavati, Netravathi, Periyar and the Bharathapuzha travel through steeper and more undulating topography before emptying into the Arabian Sea. A rough estimate reveals that 245 million people in the five Western Ghats states directly depend on these rivers for their diverse water needs. Geographically, the Western Ghats is the catchment for river systems that drain almost 40% of the land area in India," reads the report. According to the report, the Ghats meets all these criteria and so deserve to be protected in its entirety.

The Western Ghats Ecology Expert Panel report Part II has now been placed unofficially in the public domain. The committee, which prepared the report was headed by noted ecologist Madhav Gadgil. Though the report was submitted in August last year, the union ministry of environment and forests has been reluctant to make it public.

The recommendation of declaring the entire ghats that traverse through the six states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Goa Maharashtra and Gujarat would mean a complete ban on mining and stricter green laws for other industries such as power and agriculture. The panel has based its recommendation on various studies carried out by scientists and institutions across the six states, geo-spatial database, etc.

Education in Rural area

I have an idea of spreading the knowledge to rural area where there is lack of teachers. 
We can use Skype or make videos from people who already got an opportunity to gain the knowledge because of the circumstances, chance, intrest and off course with their talent. 

I want to welcome people to join me and start to spread the knowledge what we have and help others for their development. 

GREAT GREEN WALL

STOPPING DESERTIFICATION IN AFRICA WITH A 'GREAT GREEN WALL'

The Sahara Desert is slowly extending its reach across northern Africa. To counter increasing desertification, a group of African nations wants to plant a continuous line of trees across the continent.

The “Great Green Wall” involves constructing a tree belt 15 kilometers (9 miles) wide and 7,775 kilometers (4,831 miles) long across the southern edge of the Sahara, from Senegal in the west to Djibouti, Ethiopia and the Indian Ocean in the east.

Scientists hope the tree belt will counter soil erosion, slow wind speeds, and stop the encroaching desert. It is important that the countries plant drought-resistant native trees that will not further disrupt indigenous environments. 

Desertification in tandem with human-induced factors, such as mono-cropping and overgrazing, have substantially degraded agricultural lands across northern Africa. When crops fail, rural towns and villages often follow, as residents flee to urban areas in search of better lives.

To break this cycle, all eleven African nations participating need to be resolute in their support of the initiative. Planting the trees is the easy, first step. Following up with diligent protection and maintenance of the tree-line is the difficult part.

So far, only Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade has pledged his absolute support in addition to $2 million. 

Representatives of all eleven countries are currently meeting in Chad to discuss the project and the rising problem of desertification. 

Whether the leaders decide to adopt the bold tree-line program or not, they must find a way to beat back the advancing desert. Their peoples' well-being may very well depend on it.
