| 'A Himalayan double whammy' | 20-NOV-09 |
|
| For almost a decade now, Maharaj K Pandit has been spending a lot of time in the eastern and western Himalayas studying the changes to the fragile ecology brought about by large-scale development projects. The current research of Pandit, who is the director of the Centre for Inter-disciplinary Studies of Mountain & Hill Environment (CISMHE) as also the director of the School of Environmental Studies at the University of Delhi, is tracking the biological signatures of climate change in the Himalayas. In a forthright response to the controversial report released last week by the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) which says the glacial retreat is not linked to climate change, Pandit says India oscillates between “a conspiracy of silence and a conspiracy of denial” on critical issues. Although his specialisation is biology, Pandit has been conducting multi-disciplinary research on the changing Himalayan environment and has come up with some startling findings. |
