Analysis of Mining Operations in the Forest Demarcated as No Go Zones
Journal Title: Universal Journal of Environmental Research and Technology - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Forest area in our country is classified into Go Zones and No Go Zones based on their crown density. No Go Zones are dense forest areas where mining operations cannot be permitted. However, for extraction of coal lying underneath, permission for diverting these areas for mining was given. There is a high probability that this would have produced a negative impact on biodiversity, indigenous people and environment. As forests are one of the major carbon sink, they could have aided in mitigating the alarming issue of great concern-ABRUPT CLIMATE CHANGE. Following study deals with the impacts of reducing the forest area demarcated as No-Go Zones, the probable solutions that could have been taken for avoiding it and meeting with the energy needs, calculations for carbon stock capacity and value of mitigation. Calculations for carbon stock capacity and value of mitigation has been done for 1, 40, 311 ha forest area on the basis of secondary data. The issue had been tracked until 7/5/2011.The blocks which were later on exempted from No Go Zones and classified as Go-Zones are not mentioned. In this issue a lot more could have been done if, the willingness for doing things would have been more than, the excuse promoted as facts. Future is always projected with respect to the actions performed by us now; however, at times we proceed on dark roads, just to get haunted for our sins and bad karmas later. Some similar things are happening currently, with this issue as base.
