An exciting New Forest Project for India and World

Save my Fiber

A newspaper report today (see here) indicated that villagers have expressed a desire to move out of a forest area in order to access more modern infrastructure. In fact many more villages would do so voluntarily provided they are given a good alternative. Herein lies an opportunity for India and the world to achieve three highly laudable goals

  1. Expand forests by connecting existing patches that are near to each other thereby improving climate and environment of the planet
  2. Create an expanded tiger and other wild animal reserve for rapidly disappearing animals as well as forest flora and bio resources
  3. Create model new villages based on innovative new design as suggested earlier by this author (see here)
Corridors of compassion as described in an earlier post in the blog (see here) may then be created for any highways that pass through this forest.

No doubt such a project requires a national level effort with International assistance from UN and other bodies too and a dynamic leader that India fortunately has presently in Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Any investment by India shall return many times over as a huge tourist draw and environmental benefits.

Note: Any reforestation of connecting patches must be with mixed varieties of trees chosen from trees natural in adjacent areas in order to provide a natural connecting belt. Due to required relocations, the project may have to be divided in several phases. The first phase may be chosen as making Ranthambore and Kaila Devi continuous so as to provide immediate breathing space to a choked Ranthambore. A natural movement of flora and fauna would then take place over time.



UPDATE Feb. 7, 2017

A news item today in Times of India revealed that Kalisil Lake may be notified as a wetland. This is a huge step towards preserving  wild life, environment and bio-diversity in India that has been vanishing otherwise.

It is also a step towards the above forestation project because it is located between two wildlife national reserves of Bharatpur and Kaila Devi. A damn stretches all the way to the town of Kailadevi and the plateau to Chambal valley while it stretches to the tiger reserve of Ranthambore to the south. A forestry project is required around the gorges in the plateau along with compassionate corridors for wild Animals to roam through.

On Revival of Soma plant of Rig Veda

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Path_between_sugar_canes_%285216462193%29.jpg Similar Document also available for view or download at: https://www.scribd.com/doc/290825034/On-Revival-of-Soma-plant-of-Rig-Veda Abstract An ancient plant was described as a god amongst plants in the Rig Veda, an ancient sacred text of Indo-Aryans. The proper identification of this plant has been lost to mankind since ancient times. Scholars have made several diverse attempts to identify what this plant might be but none of the proposals come near the original Soma plant. In the present note a possible identification of this plant is made with a likely extinct variety of a sugar cane plant. It is suggested how an existing varieties may be genetically modified to yield a variety close to original Soma 1. Introduction There was a plant of earth that grew around the Himalayas known as Soma. It was regarded by ancient Indo-Aryans as godly plant. Ancient Indo-Aryans...

How to build a toilet for less than a few thousand rupees or twenty dollars – and stop open defecation

The Septic Drain T hose who live in developed countries may be surprised to learn that a large part of the human population lives without a toilet. Put crudely they simply piss and shit out in the open. In India it is estimated that half the population does that. This is all the more tragic in a country that invented toilets, bathrooms and covered drains five thousand years ago in the Indus Valley civilization ( http://alienaccount.blogspot.in/2013/09/indus-valley-and-atlantis.html ). Since then though, a lot of piss and water has passed under the bridge with a slide into poverty and decay. Aside from the inconvenience of having to run out into the fields every now and then, the phenomenon of open defecation poses some serious issues that have only increased with an increase of population density on the planet. First are health issues. When it rains the waste is washed into drains, rivulets, rivers, ponds and lakes. Water sources are then charged with disease causing bac...
