Eco-sensitive zones to now shield Asiatic lions in Gujarat

Monday, August 6, 2012

The home of the world�s last population of Asiatic lions
in the wild, Girnar Forests in Gujrat will now be
surrounded by eco-sensitive zone. The Ministry of
Environment and Forest (MoEF) has also declared the
setting up of similar zones around the wildlife
sanctuaries of Purna in Dangs, Narayan Sarovar in Kutch
and Vansda National Park in Valsad. Mining,
industrialisation and tourism activities here will also
have to be regulated.

As per the MoEF notification issued recently, Girnar eco-
sensitive zone will occupy an area of 9,318 hectares
covering a span of five-km radius around the sanctuary
that covers 27 villages. The area will have development
that would henceforth be regulated through a zonal master
plan expected to come up within two years.

The eco-sensitive zone around the Purna wildlife
sanctuary will have an area of 25,036 ha covering a two-
km radius, that also includes 61 villages. Purna has
above 3,000 species of plants and animals..

The notification further states that the zone around
Narayan Sarovar wildlife sanctuary will occupy 22,588 ha,
of which about 60% is non-forest land. It will stretch up
to 2.5 kilometers throughout the sanctuary�s periphery,
covering 28 villages.

The sources pointing to the� specialty of� Narayan
Sarovar� said it falls under �a separate biotic province
of the country� and thereby has a distinct gene pool,
that include grasslands in arid regions, mangrove forests
along the coastal stretches and wetlands.

Vansda National Park that once took pride in flaunting
tigers today takes pride in bird species that are typical
to the Western Ghats are . The area also abounds in
various kinds of medicinal shrubs and herbs with orchids,
litchens and ferns.It also hosts nine mammalian species
and some rodent species, as well as reptiles and
amphibians. The eco-sensitive zone in the National Park
will spread over five kms of its total periphery and
covering about 13 villages.

About the terrorist Goon Squad:

"Myself, Mallu. Yourself?" (V. Bhattathiri)
<KalluM...@gmail.com> tries his best to be a bully --
telling others what and when to post, where to post and
where not to post, deliberately publishing lies about
others, stalking and abusing them with hate speech -- but
fails miserably. He is really stressed out, and like his
lap dog Prem Thomas (who currently posts as "P. Rajah"
<us...@this.com>, and issues *death threats* to people),
is priming himself for conditions such as stroke and
heart disease. Others in the Goon Squad include
Dayashankar M. Joshi "DMJoshi" <jos...@gmail.com> who
displays unquestioning obedience to Goon Squad thugs, and
the instigator who posts as "Bholu" <bh...@hotmail.com

The Goon Squad currently posts most of their abuse
through eternal-september.org and by writing someone
else's name or handle in the "From:" header -- their
favorite now is "fana...@gmail.com" (note the extra "b"
and "gmail.com") to make it appear as if the posts are
from "fan...@aol.com", who has been a regular poster for
many years. -Updated on February 2, 2012-
