Nature is more than profit-the numerous species that reside there-wether flora or fauna, big or small matter ecologically. The sheer biodiversity present there cannot be stripped away as seen in other parts of India.

🌿 THEY'RE ABOUT TO COMMIT ECOLOGICAL MURDER — AND CALL IT "NATIONAL SECURITY."
The Indian government is bulldozing Great Nicobar Island — a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve older than civilization itself — for hotels, ports, and a township. Nearly 1 million trees will be felled. The only major nesting ground of the endangered Leatherback Turtle in the Indian Ocean? Gone. Ancient coral reefs that took millions of years to form? Dredged. The Shompen tribe — who have quietly called this island home for 10,000+ years — displaced without consent, in direct violation of the Forest Rights Act.
Over 70 scientists, ecologists, and genocide experts from 13 countries have warned this is irreversible. They've even used the word genocide.
The government's "national security" justification? Only 5% of the project is military. The remaining 95% is a commercial mega-hub worth ₹81,000 crore.
Science was pressured. Reports were suppressed. Public hearings were rigged.
I, Neel Patel, as an Indian citizen, refuse to stay silent.
The turtles can't speak. The Shompen are being ignored. The coral reefs can't vote.
So WE must be their voice.

Neel, supported: SAVE THE NICOBARSThe proposed project threatens the survival of the indigenous Shompen and Nicobarese communities. I stand against the displacement of people for a destructive mega-project. #SaveNicobar
Vijay, supported: SAVE THE NICOBARSAravallis are not just hills on paper, they protect our air, water, and future. Redefining them to allow mining, puts an entire ecosystem at risk. I strongly urge the government to protect the Aravallis in their entirety.
Priyasha, supported: Save Aravali: fight against Supreme Court rulingThe Aravalli Range is not just India’s oldest mountain system; it is a silent guardian of the Indo-Gangetic Plains, holding back the desert for thousands of years. If the Aravallis fall, the desert will not wait, risking the loss of clean air, water, and all the other interlinked processes. Standing together before this irreplaceable legacy is lost.
ananya, supported: Save Aravali: fight against Supreme Court rulingMotera Ashram Ahmedabad, India is enriched with spiritual aura and has lush green vegetation. I have visited this Ashram many times. It's the head quarters for various community reach out programs, health camps and charitable activities. I strongly recommend that this premises should not be disturbed in any case. Government should try to select another free land for Olympic games and not demolish this beautiful and one of its kind place. I appeal Government agencies to check other options and leave Motera Ashram. Games are held only once in India but Spiritual activities have been are carrying on for more then 40 yrs.
