In the spirit of a deeply personal bond with nature, it is distressing to see the loss of our precious Dhol Ka Badh Forest. As someone who regards nature as familial, it is critical for us to ensure that our 'family' — the trees, animals, and ecosystems that constitute Dhol Ka Badh Forest — are safeguarded. The situation at hand involves RIICO, who is responsible for the deforestation of this once-thriving habitat.

The rate of deforestation is alarming. According to the World Bank, India has lost over 1.6 million hectares of forest between 1990 and 2016, which is a significant threat to our biodiversity and climate (World Bank, 2018). The extraction of Dhol Ka Badh for industrial uses only contributes to this growing environmental crisis.

Our call is twofold: slow down the deforestation of Dhol Ka Badh Forest and take action against the responsible bodies, like RIICO. The protection of our natural resources is not only about preserving natural beauty. It is about the sustenance of life, conserving biodiversity, and keeping the planet's health in check.

Therefore, we urge everyone who reads this, whether you regard nature as a part of your family or understand the immense value it holds for all life forms on Earth, to join our cause. Your signature could be the force that helps us save the Dhol Ka Badh Forest.

Let's use our collective power to bring about this change. Please sign this petition.
