Being a proud Rajasthani, born in the historic city of Chittorgarh, where my childhood was filled with stories of the Aravalli mountain range and its immense benefits to our land and people. Today, this ancient range—one of the oldest mountain systems in the world—is under dire threat due to recent rulings that allow construction and mining in ecologically sensitive zones.

Why the Aravalli Matters

1. Acts as a natural barrier against the expansion of the Thar Desert.
2. Supports groundwater recharge, ensuring water security in arid regions.
3. Provides a habitat for countless species of plants and animals, many endangered.
4. Regulates climate, prevents soil erosion, and strengthens biodiversity.
5. Serves as a lifeline for local communities, sustaining agriculture and livelihoods.

The degradation of the Aravalli would mean desertification, biodiversity loss, water scarcity, and weakened climate resilience across northwest India.

The Threat We Face
The Supreme Court’s recent decision has opened the Aravalli hills to unchecked construction, mining, and deforestation. Reports suggest that over 90% of the range is now vulnerable to exploitation by mining mafias. If this destruction continues:

1. Habitats will be eradicated.
2. Wildlife will be displaced.
3. Water resources will vanish.
4. Rajasthan will face intensified droughts and desertification.
5. Generations of communities who coexisted with nature will lose their heritage and livelihoods.

Our Humble Request To Protect Nature
We call for immediate action to:

1. Revoke the ruling permitting construction and mining in the Aravalli.
2. Halt all new mining operations and enforce strict regulations against illegal exploitation.
3. Implement comprehensive conservation strategies involving local communities, environmentalists, and government bodies.
4. Promote sustainable development that prioritizes ecological preservation over short-term economic gains.

A Call to Action
Protecting the Aravalli is not just about conserving nature—it is about safeguarding our heritage, our livelihoods, and our future. The Aravalli Range is a green guardian that has protected Rajasthan for centuries. We cannot allow it to be destroyed in our lifetime.
