भारताकडे प्रगत देश एक अस्वच्छ देश म्हणुन पहातात. आपल्याकडील लोकशाही व स्वैरशाही मुळे येथील नैसर्गिक संपदेचा गैरवापर व विनाश होत आहे. निवडक निसर्गदत्त प्रदेश वगळला तर इतरत्र १० % विकासदर गाठण्याच्या नावाखाली निसर्गचा समुळ विनाश चालु आहे. अशा विनाशाकडे चाललेल्या आपल्या देशाची हे उरलेसुरले निसर्ग वैभव मी येथे मांडले आहे. पाहु वाचवु शकतो काय आपण या निसर्गवैभवाला.
India is often looked up on as a dirty place by rest of the world. Its Democracy is infected by poor governance leading to poor management of ecosystems, wildlife and urban areas. Only the region where the human intevention is minimal, one can see its original charm. Most of the ecosystems near the major urban and industrial area is under severe stress. I am sharing herewith some glimpses of the Nature, hoping that it inspires the mass to Save it from the Indian Jangal Raj.
