Dear colleague, The National Board for Wildlife (NBWL) and its Standing Committee (SC-NBWL) has taken an initiative to frame ecologically sound policy and guidelines related to linear infrastructure intrusions such as roads and powerlines in India. In this connection, a detailed background paper reviewing the science and ecological / social issues was prepared outlining a suggested policy schema. Subsequently, at the behest of the SC-NBWL, draft guidelines on roads and powerlines were also drafted and submitted to the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF). This is to inform you that the background paper and draft guidelines have now been put up on the website of the Ministry of Environment and Forests (http://moef.nic.in/modules/others/?f=wildlife) for public feedback over the next two months: Cover letter: http://moef.nic.in/assets/Letter-wl-20123007.pdf (attached for your reference) Background Review Paper: http://moef.nic.in/assets/Linear%20intrusions%20background%20paper.pdf Draft guidelines for roads and powerlines: http://moef.nic.in/assets/FIRSTDraft%20guidelines%20roads%20and%20powerlines.pdf The idea is to first receive inputs from a wide range of stakeholders around the country before revising the guidelines and presenting the revised guidelines to the Standing Committee of the National Board for Wildlife, and the National Board for Wildlife, after the end of the two month consultation period. I hereby request you to kindly go through these documents and send your detailed and specific comments and inputs inputs on the draft guidelines to the designated email address linearintrusions@xxxxxxxxx as mentioned in the MoEF letter cited above before 20 September 2012. Please note that the inputs are requested specifically on the draft guidelines document on roads and powerlines. However, if you would like to bring to attention any new information or research publications related to the background paper, kindly mark those comments separately, attaching copies of relevant publications or documents. Please send all comments and responses related to this subject to linearintrusions@xxxxxxxxx You may wish to highlight this public feedback request among your contacts and circles as it will help to receive more inputs from stakeholders. I am happy to provide more information, if required.
