write declamation on reducing green cover of earth.
Answers
Answer:
The city holds the dubious distinction of being one of the least green metros in the country. With a green cover spread over just 9.5 per cent of its geographic area, Chennai's dream of achieving the goal of 33 per cent urban forest cover by 2012, as envisaged in the National Forest Policy (1988), might remain simply a pipe dream.
The city's fall from grace has been dramatic. Experts point to the decade immediately after the economic liberalisation, especially between 1997 and 2001, when the city lost up to 99 per cent of its green cover in some parts. The built-up area in the city nearly doubled in that short period, show remote sensing satellite images.
Koothapiran, known as ‘Vanoli Anna' on All India Radio, recalls how he used to walk from Adyar to the Mylapore Kapaleeswarar temple to listen to Navaratri concerts. “The entire stretch used to be lined with trees and there used to be nearly 400 coconut palms around the temple tank. But over the years we have lost many trees to development.”
