5. ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION & ADVERSE EFECT ON CLIMATE THE
INDIAN CONTEXT
• Did you wonder why your winter never really got chilly? It could be due to the city’s eroding green cover, which is at an
all-time low and continues to plunge.
• Environmentalists have pressed the panic button, warning of an ecological disaster and a further rise in already high
pollution levels. Some said the lack of greenery would have a long-term impact on the city’s climate.
• An informal study by the forest department two years ago said only 10% of Kolkata was green, Bangalore no longer is
the garden city .The limits of the Thar desert have expanded into Delhi & the city has lost trees and large tracts of green.
.
• “Urbanization & rampant construction has led to a steady chopping of trees and removal of green cover the “Now, it has
hit rock bottom. The situation calls for drastic measures. We first need a formal survey to identify the exact green cover
and then steps have to be taken to expand it.”
• Poor compensatory plantation, forest officials say, has contributed generously to the dwindling green count. The
rulebook says that for every tree felled, at least five must be planted. Not many have paid heed. The law also says that
before a tree is chopped, the forest department must be informed.
• The latter levies a charge for the felling and gives its sanction only after receiving an undertaking that trees will be
planted to neutralize the loss. However, only a few high-profile projects have adhered to the rules.
