Dead as a DODO

STOP DEFORESTATION

Stop soil and sand mining. Or we all will be extinct.

 

 

How to protect the nature and environment ?

May be, we can think about the following as immediate counter measures:

1. Agriculture lands, if seen misused/being filled up the government must take over such land and should be entrusted to a society or Kudumbasree for cultivation.

          This measure can promote agriculture, employment and stop soil leveling.

2. Land should not be resold in smaller plots in a period of three or five years. 

         If the owner has to sell the property (if he needs urgent money), the government may buy or take over
         that   land for the price notified as minimum land value.
         Such lands may be accumulated in a land bank or distributed to the  landless for agriculture or even 
         can be used for public infrastructure developments that may arise in future.

3. Panchayath members should be held responsible for preserving their territory. If any agriculture land is seen misused/filling up; it must be reported to the officials or Police. Failing to do so, they must be charged for being irresponsible; and those persons should be declared non eligible for contesting again as members in next elections.

4. A video Data base of the agriculture land in Kerala should be prepared immediately. This shall serve as a strong proof against misuses and will also help the law to enforce the previous status in case of land filling.
