If we destroy nature, how will humans breathe?

Basic infrastructure is vital for progress, but development that compromises the environment— our very breath—can never be considered true progress.

- Govind Singh Dotasra

The Supreme Court recently remarked, "Cutting down a large number of trees is worse than killing a human being.” This powerful statement underlines the irreplaceable value of nature.

From the forests of Dol ka Badh in Jaipur to the Oran conservation campaign in Jaisalmer, and the indiscriminate cutting of trees for solar plants across the state, especially the state tree, Khejri tree, this is not just cutting nature but severing our very soul. Destroying nature’s gifts in the name of development is an extremely serious matter that requires deep reflection. Environmental issues that impact generations can never be small matters.
