We Answered:

The Forest Conservation Act 1980 was enacted to help conserve the country’s forests. It strictly restricts and regulates the de-reservation of forests or use of forest land for non-forest purposes without the prior approval of Central Government. To this end the Act lays down the pre-requisites for the diversion of forest land for non-forest purposes.

Do u fave the "Lincoln Plan" regarding the taxing of polluters and climate change/CO2 emissions...?

We Answered:

I like the concept, but $5/ton and 1 cent per gallon is smaller than I prefer. It will help create some revenue for some important measures, but I think the tax also needs to create an incentive for people to consume less gas and thus create fewer carbon emissions to begin with. Obviously 1 cent per gallon is too small to accomplish that.

A larger tax will both create more revenue for carbon mitigation efforts and also give people an incentive to emit less carbon to begin with. While it would be politically more difficult to implement, it would also be a much more effective tool.

Roberto Said:

Could you please briefly highlight some vital steps taken to conserve forests?

We Answered:

Yes, when lumber companies come into a forest they leave the young trees and harvest the older trees. These lumber companies also build roads, clean up brush and sometimes put in water lines. They also re-plant trees! The United States has more trees now than 1000 years ago! You wouldn't know this if you read the NY times or Boston Globe or the LA Times.

Now, when lightening strikes "old growth forests" where no logging has taken place the entire forest burns down!!! This kills millions of animals, consumes trees and is a total waste!

Same lightening strike hits a forest where logging has taken place, here we have roads for the fire trucks to use to put out the fire. Since the brush and other trash has been removed there is less chance of the fire getting out of control! Fires are more of a problem in areas where there has been NO logging!

Logging ends up saving more trees than banning logging!

SDO of Chandrapur Violated the laws of Tadoba Tiger Reserve. What steps to be taken to stop such incidents?

We Answered:

He is guilty of Forest Act, a Central enactment. File a complaint in a criminal court, if the police are not taking any action. It is a sin against the whole humanity, if you do violate the inviolable forest assets, for the forest are our life lines and we must preserve for the posterity, lest the future of mankind will be a big question mark.
