The bio diverse Aravalli range is being degraded by rampant ‘developmental’ projects. Ask our government to protect India’s oldest mountain range. Let's send as many as post card to Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change so that they will take some action as soon as possible.

The Aravallis, the oldest fold mountains on Earth, has been in existence for about three billion years. Resilient, and majestic, the mountains stretch along the north-western frontiers of the country, shaping the climate and biodiversity of the region. The range, abundant in its unique mix of flora and fauna, and mineral-rich soil, is today being whittled away, in order to give way to the rapidly expanding urban jungle that is the National Capital Region (NCR).

Encroachment, mining, real estate development, privatization of the common lands, and a lackadaisical approach to resource management has led to extensive degradation of our oldest mountain range. While time and again, judicial interventions by the courts have attempted to protect the Aravallis, placing restraining orders on developmental activities, implementation by state governments has been lukewarm.
