Jaisalmer / Jaipur: In what can be called real contradictions, green energy promotion in the desert area of ​​the country comes with a very large environmental cost and a touch of death from Bustar Indian (GIB).
Endangered species habitat is threatened by the overhead transmission line and a large array of solar panels established throughout the country and private.
On Sundays, the villagers began a protest again to save the Habitat Gibs.
Sumer Singh, a green activist, said, “Administration has become a blind eye, solar companies install panels and overhead lines in Bhimsar Village, Bhopa, Sawata, Rasala.
The Ministry of Forestry has provided an effort to save the bird, according to the highest protection Under the protection law of wildlife, 1972.
More than five memorandum has been presented to the district collector, but working on solar plants is running well, “experts and locals also accused the project being cleaned on a large-scale.
Without a plan to overcome the threats posed by their Habitat GIB.
They also honed that this could pave the way for iconic birds from functionally extinct in its original habitat.
In addition, they say that species can migrate to Pakistan if his habitat continues to be destroyed.
Radheysham Bishnoi, who works for GIB conservation, said, “The meadow habitat in the Cholistan desert is similar to bird habitat in Rajasthan.
There are reports in the past that GIB migrated to Pakistan across the international border.
If the habitat destroyed in Rajasthan, more will fly to Pakistan.
The possibility of a minimal bird because it could be a prey of the hunter there.
“The state government, meanwhile, made a plan to produce 30,000 MW of solar energy by creating solar farms and weaning the state of carbon-based energy.
Residents of the Desert region have criticized the government and the department not to develop a strategy to overcome the long-term consequences of such steps and enable harmonious coexistence with nature and wildlife.
Green Acticist Parth Jagani said, “trees are cut carelessly to install solar plants.
In the absence of policies or monitoring, desert ecology and Habitat GIB are being destroyed without improvement.” After the GIB population, a high bird with more than two meters wings, decreased from around 1,260 in 1969 to around 150 in 2018, the Supreme Court has been directed to take the overhead power transmission path in Jaisalmer Regency and the surrounding area underground.
However, the lack of cooperation between the department and attitude of officials attempted has made these efforts.
The Minister of Forest and Environment of Sukhram Vishnoi has assured that habitat will not be disturbed.
“The new electricity line will not be placed near the Habitat GIB area.
The area will soon be identified,” he said.
In accordance with the research conducted by the Wildlife Institute of India (Wii), an average of 15 Gibs died every year after colliding with the power line.
Biology and Deputy Professor Wildlife in Teacher Gobind Singh Indraprastha University Sumit Dookia said, “The state has initiated the GIB breeding program.
But, simultaneously, renewable energy projects are also being cleaned in large numbers and assigned in the last GIB region that is still alive.
This is a project The project came up with a large network of high-powered power paths.
This has been shown as the biggest threat to the survival of the Gibs in recent years.
“However, the state government said they had identified areas where the power line caused problems.
Energy Minister BD Kalla said, “orders have been spent to put power on the power channel placed for the development of the industry in the nearest meadow and work will begin soon.” The International Union for Conservation of Natural Members Dau Lal said, “The Government of State State must establish district environment committees, led by collectors, to save desert ecology.
Company funds must be collected from solar companies and used for habitat repairs.
It should also be a special fund to develop Meadow and planting trees.
