hindu wrote a very good editorial couple of days back on rain forest protection showing brazil govt example vis-a-vis indian context.

they had earlier written a brilliant editorial on athirapally hydel project.

western ghats forests are very crucial to entire india's river system. upto 80% of south india's rivers originate from western ghats. this alone is enough to protect it. but till now, the ghats has been looked upon as a commodity that can be tapped for mining, logging, massive unsustainable hydel dams, etc. will this change for the good of our generation and our future generations.
