To Shri Prakash Javadekar, Minister for Environment, Forests and Climate Change:

We call on you to implement the toughest protection plan for the Western Ghats, protecting at least 67% of the area from any environmentally destructive activity. We further urge that local communities living in the Ghats across all states are involved in public consultations prior to any decision being made.

Save the Western Ghats!
In less than 24 hours, we have a meeting at the Environment Ministry to discuss saving the Western Ghats! Let's act now so that all our voices can be heard loud and clear inside that meeting.

The Ghats are home to beautiful bulbuls, bears, tigers and other unique species that live in it’s forests and ancient hills. Different state governments are pushing the Ministry to dilute protection plans but the Centre has final say -- and they’ve invited us to hear our views. Let’s tell them now that we won’t allow the Ghats to be destroyed by mining and construction lobbies. Our pressure already got UNESCO writing to the government about protected World Heritage sites in the Ghats. Now let’s tell the Environment Ministry directly!

Tomorrow we’ll deliver your signatures straight to Ministry officials in charge of saving our Western Ghats along with a letter signed by leading environmentalists. Sign now.
