Take measures to stop the rampage of forest destroyers
In his poem "Vrikshabandana" (Praise of Trees), Rabindranath Tagore wrote, "From the dark depths of the earth, you heard the appeal of the sun / In the first awakening of life, you, tree, primordial life." However, a study conducted using satellite images of 28 out of the country's 53 protected forests, including wildlife sanctuaries, has shown that the number of trees in each forest has decreased over the past two decades. Despite various initiatives to protect the forests, tree cutting has not ceased. This indiscriminate destruction of forests is damaging the environment and driving many forest animals towards extinction, which is very concerning.
