Protect 90% of Aravalli from government demolition


Protect 90% of Aravalli from government demolition
The Issue
Aravalli, an ancient range spread across Northwestern India, holds a sacred place in our hearts. To us, Aravalli is not just a ridge of rocky hills; it is our Mother Earth. Its significance transcends its physical form, embodying our connection to nature, tradition, and heritage. Now, it stands threatened—where once thrived ecosystems that nurtured countless life forms, the government plans to pave over with mining sites and shopping malls.
The Aravalli Range is not just a scenic landscape; it plays a pivotal role in influencing the climate throughout India and specifically in regulating pollution levels. Delhi, already grappling with being the most polluted city in the world, benefits immensely from the Aravallis acting as a natural barrier against dust storms and moderating extreme weather conditions. The Aravalli forests absorb CO2, produce oxygen, and support a diverse array of wildlife, making them vital for our ecological balance.
The planned demolition threatens to impact not just our immediate environment and air quality, but also the delicate isostatic balance on Earth. The destruction of the Aravalli could lead to increased erosion, loss of biodiversity, and a rise in pollution levels in Delhi beyond what humanity’s best technology can mitigate.
Our demand is simple yet powerful: Protect 90% of the Aravalli Range from any form of government-sponsored construction or demolition. By preserving these hills, we safeguard our environment, protect countless species, and honour our cultural and natural heritage.
We urge the government to prioritize sustainable development over short-term financial gains. Explore alternative locations that can serve commercial needs without endangering a priceless natural resource. Invest in the rehabilitation and conservation of the Aravalli instead of its destruction.
Sign this petition to stand with us in defending Aravalli, our mother earth, from irreversible harm. Raise your voice today and join our fight to maintain the natural harmony and protect our planet for future generations. Let us work together for a future where development and nature coexist harmoniously. Please sign and share this petition.
