ECOCIDE Episode 3: Attempts to Commercialise Forests: Ignoring Protections, Tribal Rights

Join host Pawan and The Reporters’ Collective’s investigative reporter Tapasya in the third and final episode of the limited edition series, Ecocide. This time, they dive into the complexities of green credit schemes, question their effectiveness and exposing the risks of greenwashing. They explore attempts to allow private companies to undertake afforestation on degraded lands, sparking concerns about the impact on tribal rights protected under the Forest Rights Act. The final episode further delves into the changes made by the Union government to the forest conservation law, which stripped legal protections from unrecorded forests. These changes contradict the Supreme Court’s landmark Godavarman judgment, which ensured that unrecorded forests are also protected. It also touches on how governments respond to investigations like Forests for Profits and how journalists like Tapasya navigate these challenges to bring these stories to light. We encourage our listeners to read the related in-depth investigations by Tapasya which has led to this podcast series: Forests for Profits https://www.reporters-collective.in/projects/forest-conservation-series Centre Makes Aadhaar Must For Free Meals Under Nutrition Mission https://www.reporters-collective.in/projects/centre-makes-aadhaar-must-for-free-meals-under-nutrition-mission Support us The series is based on investigations by The Collective which require time and resources.

ECOCIDE Episode 2 : Behind Illegal River Mining: A Political Nexus and Flawed Forest Policies

In the second episode, host Pawan picks up his conversation with Tapasya, focusing first on the state government's weak response to environmental violations. From there, they dive into a revealing story from Jammu, where a political nexus had allowed illegal river mining and stone crushers to operate despite an official ban in place. They also explore the Union government’s failed promise of implementing a National Forest policy and its continued attempts to prioritise private interests over the rights of forest-dwelling communities.
