Stop Deforestation in Hyderabad Forests


Stop Deforestation in Hyderabad Forests
The Issue
Hyderabad forests, the city's green lungs, are under grave threat due to rampant deforestation. These forests play a pivotal role in maintaining biodiversity, controlling climate change, and supporting the indigenous communities who depend on them for their livelihood. An estimated 30% of Hyderabad's forest cover has been lost over the last decade (Hyderabad Forest Department Report, 2019), threatening the survival of several endemic species and exacerbating the city's environmental problems. Deforestation at this scale not only harms our present, but also threatens the future of generations to come. We urge the local authorities, to implement immediate and resolute action to stop this environmental devastation and to encourage the restoration and conservation of Hyderabad's forests. Sign this petition now to demand change and protect Hyderabad's forests.
