- Manoj Viswanathan @Kochi

A massive tree plantation drive marked World Environment Day, aiming to reduce carbon footprints and address the challenges of climate change. However, the decline in the ecological health of existing forests has largely been neglected.

According to a 2023 study, around 66% of Indian forests have been invaded by alien invasive species, destroying natural vegetation and altering forest habitats. Of the 225 invasive plant species reported from India, 11 are on the IUCN list of the 100 worst invasive species.
