Key Points
Not just that, I spent my growing years in an environment..
I also like the Bills approach of replacing forests, which often contain forest-dwelling communities, with pure green cover sans communities..
Why should the nation miss out on all the goodies that forests offer, such as mining projects, wind energy farms, seven-star tourist resorts, eleven-star luxury villas, and fourteen-star convention centres where we can host G-20 delegates and entertain them with exotic dances from the same forest-dwellers who had volunteered to be evicted from their development-unfriendly homes in national interest?..
For instance, if tomorrow national interest demands that the government declare all coal mines, power plants, airports, garbage dumps, and ministers bungalows as protected forests, they would automatically enjoy the full protection of the Forest Conservation Act, 1980...
Not only that, it will also generate a collateral benefit of expanding green cover on a planetary scale as environmentalists, normal people, and even NRIs in every other country are bound to go green with envy every time they think of India...
