Join host Pawan and The Reporters’ Collective’s investigative reporter Tapasya in the third and final episode of the limited edition series, Ecocide. This time, they dive into the complexities of green credit schemes, question their effectiveness and exposing the risks of greenwashing.
They explore attempts to allow private companies to undertake afforestation on degraded lands, sparking concerns about the impact on tribal rights protected under the Forest Rights Act.
The final episode further delves into the changes made by the Union government to the forest conservation law, which stripped legal protections from unrecorded forests. These changes contradict the Supreme Court’s landmark Godavarman judgment, which ensured that unrecorded forests are also protected.
It also touches on how governments respond to investigations like Forests for Profits and how journalists like Tapasya navigate these challenges to bring these stories to light.
