“The Government is unaware of the ‘quantities’ being used by the pharmaceutical companies,” adds Dr. Acharya. “Forest department should be involved in the commercial process,” he suggests. Raw capitalisation like the recent ‘Vedanta’ intrusion is another sign of things to come. The village of Patalpur is one more reflection of the aftereffects of corporate evils. The naïve farmers and locals dance to the beats of flashy CD players as the industrialists successfully bribed/raided them off their botanic diversity. Acknowledging that industrialization is on a high, the micro-biologist adds, “though I’m not against it, I feel enough is not being done to sustain it strategically.”
Deforestation, especially in the tropical and sub-tropical regions of India, is another intimidating situation. Outside India too, close to 65% of endangered species lie in the tropics. Madagascar, which houses spectacular variety of biodiversity especially towards its tropical eastern coast, is infamous for the practice of ‘slash and burn’ cultivation. The process, which is carried out by cutting and burning forests to create plain fields for agriculture, is also guilty of contributing to the growing list of endangered species.
Natural reasons could also be responsible for some irreversible damage to the environment seen in the case of Kalahari plant. But little can be done against the force of nature. The humans, meanwhile, prepare for a mid-October conference in Nagoya, Japan where many countries are expected to converge. Dr. Acharya labels the participants “seminarists” while commenting that “every year summits are held for various issues without really implementing much.”
Indeed, policy-making is a major issue but let’s pray the Nagoya convention brings more ‘Hope’ than the much-hyped ‘Hopenhagen’.
