Hey there,
We’ve reached the last episode of our limited series ECOCIDE, and it’s packed with powerful insights! In this final episode, host Pawan and our investigative journalist Tapasya tackle the complexities of green credit schemes — are they effective, or just another form of greenwashing?
They also dive into a major issue: the government’s attempt to allow private companies to undertake afforestation on degraded forests, raising serious concerns about the rights of tribal communities.
Plus, they break down the changes made by the Union government to the forest conservation law, which stripped legal protections from unrecorded forests, going against the apex court's Godavarman judgment, which ensured they are also protected.
Tune in to hear their in-depth conversation as they wrap up the limited podcast series. If you missed any of the previous episodes, you can find them all here.
The series is based on investigations by The Collective which require time and resources. And even more to turn them into podcasts. If you value our work, consider donating to us.
