&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;To set up big commercial, tourism and shipping projects in the islands, the Centre has taken measures that could affect the region&amp;#39;s unique biodiversity and ethnicity&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are often pictured as a lush, tropical tourist paradise. But recent government moves may strip the protections that the ecologically and ethnically significant archipelago enjoys, in order to make way for big business, shipping and tourism projects, documents accessed by IndiaSpend show.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Through a series of de-notifications, amendments, special committee meetings and correspondence with other states--many hidden from public view--the forests, tribal reserves and coastal areas of the islands are being prepped for mega projects.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;With the new projects that have been proposed, the government claims it will bring growth and employment to the islands. But it disregards the reasons why these islands have been shielded from projects like these so far: They have some of India&amp;#39;s largest mangroves, a natural defence against extreme events such as cyclones and key to climate change mitigation and adaptation in coastal areas. Over half the species of butterflies, 40% of birds and 60% of mammals found here are endemic. And, the islands are home to particularly vulnerable tribal groups (PVTG) such as the Great Andamanese, Jarawas, Onges, Sentinelese and Shompen that live off forest resources. These communities are vulnerable because their numbers are either stagnant or declining, and their members are economically backward and have low levels of literacy.&lt;/p&gt;

How Andaman Islands Are Losing Green Protection Against Business & Tourism -Meenakshi Kapoor

-IndiaSpend.com To set up big commercial, tourism and shipping projects in the islands, the Centre has taken measures that could affect the region's unique biodiversity and ethnicity New Delhi: The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are often pictured as a lush, tropical tourist paradise. But recent government moves may strip the protections that the ecologically and ethnically significant archipelago enjoys, in order to make way for big business, shipping and tourism projects, documents accessed by IndiaSpend show. Through a series of de-notifications, amendments, special committee meetings and correspondence with other states--many hidden from public view--the forests, tribal reserves and coastal areas of the islands are being prepped for mega projects. With the new projects that have been proposed, the government claims it will bring growth and employment to the islands. But it disregards the reasons why these islands have been shielded from projects like these so far: They have some of India's largest mangroves, a natural defence against extreme events such as cyclones and key to climate change mitigation and adaptation in coastal areas. Over half the species of butterflies, 40% of birds and 60% of mammals found here are endemic. And, the islands are home to particularly vulnerable tribal groups (PVTG) such as the Great Andamanese, Jarawas, Onges, Sentinelese and Shompen that live off forest resources. These communities are vulnerable because their numbers are either stagnant or declining, and their members are economically backward and have low levels of literacy. Please click here to read more.
