The Environment, the Forests, the Landscape and the very future of Kodagu and its people are at stake due to the proposals for two destructive projects of Railways and four Multi-lane National Highways through Kodagu. With the felling of lakhs of trees across Kodagu, the death of River Cauvery will be only a matter of time.
In this regard, the Coorg Wildlife Society (CWS) is coordinating a Save Kodagu and Cauvery Campaign with the support of various organisations and individuals across Kodagu. However, in order to fight the vested interests that are hell bent on these projects and to put pressure on our ill-advised policy-makers, much more needs to be done. We need to approach the Courts, organise more protests, and send delegations to Bengaluru and Delhi.
