पेड़ जो स्वेच्छा से या अनिच्छा से एक विदेशी जमीन पर चले गए हैं, समुद्र के पार, अपने घर से कई हजारों मील दूर – निश्चित तौर पर अपने घर वापस आ चुके साथियों से इतर उनके पास एक अलग शब्दावली होगी, संभवतः यह उनके अलगाव, दुःख, खुशी, बेसहारापन, अकेलापन, दोस्ती, या गोद लेने से उपजी है।

The eco-sensitive hill station in Maharashtra has no pucca roads and vehicles are a strict no-no. The only sound is that of birds in the daytime, and crickets at night. Or, perhaps the pitter-patter of raindrops on the window panes and on the red-tiled roofs of cottages. Matheran is a perfect getaway from the high-on-steroid urban lifestyles.

A forest guard shares with us his chance encounter with an elephant that had strayed out of the jungle. He first landed on the railway tracks, then crossed the National Highway and ultimately also managed to fall into a coal mine pit. It was a harrowing experince for the guard as this was his first job. But he learnt something important. The elephant had not strayed. The humans, in the name of development, have entered into his home, leaving him confused.

छत्तीसगढ़ देश का तीसरा खनिज-समृद्ध राज्य है। सारी बड़ी माइनिंग और पावर कंपनियों की नज़र इस राज्य पर है। इस वजह से जंगलों में रहने वाले उन आदिवासियों पर भी काफ़ी दबाव है जिनका जीवन 'जल, जंगल, ज़मीन' पर निर्भर है।

In June, around 10,000 tribals from Dantewada, Sukma and Bijapur districts in Chhattisgarh gathered at NMDC complex in Kirandul village. The state-owned miner was planning to develop a large mine. The Bailadila hills where mining was to take place also housed the local deity of these tribals. The tribals staged a peaceful protest for five days. In the end, the government gave in. This was a massive victory for the tribals

Hundreds of tribal families in Bilhata, Katahari and Koni villages inside the Panna Tiger Reserve in Madhya Pradesh are dependent on jhiriya, a local water source, to meet their water needs. Adivasi women trek several kilometres each day through the thick jungles and climb down steep hillsides to collect water from the jhiriya. Forest officials say that these villages need to be relocated due to the Ken-Betwa Link Project.
