Nothing Much to Say

Orissa is a state with a rich biodiversity and rich mineral deposits and a growing list of national and international investments, including steel mines and ports. It is more important than ever before that we take great care of the rich and unique biodiversity that Orissa possesses. Development that enriches society in the long term and does not jeopardize ecological sustainability must be our goal. There are alternatives to the Dhamra port site, and the legitimate needs of the state can be met from existing and other planned ports. There is thus no need for a port in this environmentally critical location.
Mr Tata has done much for India and its economic prosperity. He has repeatedly assured Greenpeace that he will not harm the turtles or biodiversity. We, and thousands of other Indians, expect him to live up to this promise and the great legacy that he represents. I am not attacking him, simply asking him to see reason and prove once more that his company is truly “green at heart”.

Please everyone join hands in saving these turtles.
