Save Buxwaha Forest for our next generations to breath fresh air
The Issue
CA ditya Birla Group’s Essel Mining and Industries Limited (EMIL) plans to cut 2.15 lakh trees in the Buxwaha forest for a diamond mine.
Cutting these numbers of living trees who gives us life and will give life for our coming next numbers of generations for the dead stone like Diamond who don't give any life. It's only for luxury. We are killing tomorrow's Generations' life & healthy future for today's luxury.
Buxwaha forest is in the Chhatarpur district, close to Panna in Madhya Pradesh. As per the estimation, there are 342 million carats of diamonds in the Buxwaha forest. However in order to get to these diamonds, the valuable natural resources of this forest -- herbal plants and other trees will have to be felled. The mining project will destroy 382.131 hectares of forest.
The forest’s natural resources provide for the livelihood of 5,000 tribal people.
In 2019, the Madhya Pradesh government issued a tender to auction the forest for the mining project. And Aditya Birla Group’s Essel Mining and Industries Limited won the tender. The MP government has leased 62.64 hectares of treasured forest land to the Birla Group for the next fifty years.
According to the forest department’s census there are 2,15,875 trees in the forest of Buxwaha. To carry out this excavation, a treasure trove of the forest's natural resources, including Teak, Ken, Behda, Banyan, Jamun, Tendu, Arjuna, and other medicinal trees that total up to 2,15,875 will have to be cut down.
Over 2 lakh trees of the protected Buxwaha forest could be chopped off for the Bunder diamond block. This decision will also have a negative impact on the livelihood of tribal villagers who depend solely on forest products. #SaveBuxwahaForest #SaveNature #SaveNextGenerations
Together we all can change this for the betterment of our coming generation's future. This is our duty & responsibility. Nobody but we only will think for our next generations. The way we are getting fresh air, it is right of our coming generations too. So please stand today for tomorrow. Sign this petition to ask our Government to cancel this granted permission to Diamond mining. Share as much as you can. Save Buxwaha Forest, Save Environment, Save next Generations.
