Threats to the Aravalli Range
As the plunder of the Aravallis continues unabated, particularly in Haryana and Delhi, here's a reminder that it is the world's oldest fold mountain range, and a treasure trove of biodiversity. Cartoon from my column with Sunday Mid-Day. Recommended reading: Newslaundry's thoroughly investigated series on encroachment in the Aravallis.

Gurgaon Aravalli Biopark
Gurgaon's Aravalli Biopark- its last remaining 'green lung' is under threat from a highway being planned by the National Highway Authority of India. The city, already grappling with some of the gravest ground water and air related concerns in the country, is set to lose this indispensable stretch of an imperiled hill range. Thankfully, massive protests from citizens have ensued, and a campaign to save the park is being undertaken. Do lend your voice to the campaign using the hashtags #saveABDP, #NahiToNHAI and #SaveAravalliBiodiversityPark .
