Dear Friends,
I would like to have the comments on plantations especially on exotic species.
Is the policy adopted by any of the department/organization/agency regarding plantation of particular species at particular site is solution for reviving greenery or acheiving the target of greenery? such type of work is going on everywhere, whether GO or any NGO. On the name of greenery they are planting exotic species. Should such plantation discouraged or let them do?
Our team has discussed this issue with many of the local administrative bodies in southern Rajasthan especially Abu Hills where many of the work related to plantation is being carried every year by the local residents but they are unknowingly planting species which are not from Abu Hills. After having discussion many of them stopped planting outside species and now giving protection to native species.
Similarlly we discussed this issue with the NHAI authorities in Udaipur and media persons also raised the issue in that belt but we received the response that NHAI has a list of plants which has to be planted with some norms. The authorities also requested us that if we want any change than do raise the issue at Central level.
I would like the group to work for such things.
Mr Garg if the specialist find the plantation activities in different activities in particular areas as according to the local vegetation than it's fine otherwise do prepare some documentation or policy through this e-group and send it to every level of ministry (State/Central).
I am not specialist of plants but what I feel I had written. let's share the views.
Thanks
Wishes
Raputana Team
