BENGALURU: Change in land use and reduction in green cover are taking a drastic toll on the Western Ghats, especially the state of Goa, where development projects for tourism, infrastructure and connectivity have been put on the fast track. This has significantly impacted the functioning of forest ecosystems, contributing to climate change. A recent study by researchers from the Centre for Ecology, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), revealed that the total forest cover declined drastically post the 1990s, due to market forces associated with globalisation. There has also been a decline in evergreen forest cover by 10.98 per cent. The carbon sequestration potential of forests in Goa that the study assessed, showed the storage of 56,131.16 Giga grams (Gga) of carbon, which accounts for Rs 373.47 billion ($4.49 billion). Similarly, carbon stored in forest ecosystems of the Western Ghats is valued at Rs 100 billion. The total ecosystem supply value (TESV) for forest ecosystems was computed by aggregating the provisioning, regulating and cultural services which account for Rs 481.76 billion per year, said the report titled Insights into Linkages of Forest Structure Dynamics with Ecosystem Services, released on Monday. TESV is the summation of provisioning, regulating, and cultural services, and depends on the spatial extent and condition of the ecosystem of a particular area. Prof TV Ramachandra, co-author of the research paper, said forest ecosystems in Goa provide diverse services which are vital for human well-being and prosperity. With economic growth accelerating in Goa, there is tremendous pressure to divert natural systems to other uses. Many villages of Goa have witnessed a significant decline in agricultural productivity due to environmental degradation, and lower fertility around wetland regions. Hence, there is an urgent need to undertake natural capital accounting and valuation of ecosystem services, especially intangible benefits (such as regulating services, etc.), which the ecosystem provides. The value of all ecosystem services, including degradation costs, needs to be understood to develop appropriate policies toward ecosystem conservation and sustainable management. Thus, understanding drivers of land-use change would aid in prioritising critical ecosystems for conservation, Ramachandra said. The report noted that the TESV of forest ecosystem services of Goa is as important as that of Uttara Kannada, with Rs 456.47 billion per year. Nationally, too, there has been a decline in TESV from Rs 2,841 billion in 2005 to Rs 1,835 billion in 2019 -- a 35% decline in forest ecosystem. The researchers compared Goas total economic value to others and noted that Himachal Pradeshs TESV is Rs 1,066 billion per year, and that of Arunachal Pradeshs tropical forests is Rs 1,518 billion per year.

Can Sharjeel Imam be prosecuted in different states over single speech? SC asks
The Supreme Court is examining whether Sharjeel Imam can be prosecuted across multiple states for sedition based on a single speech. Imam seeks to consolidate FIRs from Uttar Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, and Arunachal Pradesh, arguing multiple trials for one speech constitute double jeopardy.
SC questions multiple trials of Sharjeel for same speech
The Supreme Court of India questioned whether former JNU student Sharjeel Imam can be prosecuted in multiple states for sedition based on a single speech. The court is considering a plea to club multiple FIRs filed against Imam in Uttar Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, and Arunachal Pradesh for his alleged inflammatory remarks during protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). The court is concerned about the potential for double jeopardy and has indicated that it may transfer the cases to Delhi.
Same speech, multiple FIRs: SC questions need for trials in different states against Sharjeel Imam
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Tuesday asked if former JNU student Sharjeel Imam can be prosecuted in different states for offences including sedition over a single speech. The top court was hearing the 2020 plea of Imam seeking the clubbing of multiple FIRs registered against him across four states, Uttar Pradesh, Assam, Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh, for the alleged inflammatory speech delivered during protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA). A bench comprising Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar was urged by senior advocate Sidharth Dave, who said Sharjeel couldn't be subjected to multiple trials across the country for one speech. Additional solicitor general S V Raju, appearing for Delhi Police which has also registered a criminal case against Imam, opposed the submissions and said, He instigated a mob in Bihar, a mob in Uttar Pradesh and in Delhi. The offences are different. But the speech is one and the same. If the speech is on YouTube, etc., and then it can be heard across India and the impact will be the same, the CJI said, indicating a case of double jeopardy. The CJI said the cases should be transferred to Delhi. Raju said he was not representing other states and, therefore, did not have the instruction over clubbing or transfer of the cases. Offence against the state is one issue and the offence against society is different, he said. The CJI said, If there were different speeches then you may be right. Here, the speech is same. If you agree, then can stay trial in other states. Raju reiterated his position following which the bench posted the hearing after two weeks. The top court previously sought to know from Uttar Pradesh, Assam, Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh about any objection if the trials against Imam in multiple FIRs were transferred to Delhi. On May 26, 2020, the apex court sought their responses and the Delhi government to file its reply in the matter. Delhi Police booked Imam under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). On January 28, 2020, Imam was arrested by the Delhi Police's crime branch from Bihar's Jehanabad in a sedition case for allegedly making inflammatory speeches in the Jamia Millia Islamia University and Aligarh Muslim University. The former student at the Jawaharlal Nehru University's Centre for Historical Studies was booked on sedition and other charges after purported videos of his alleged inflammatory speeches made during protests against the CAA were circulated on social media. An FIR was lodged against him by Delhi Police on January 25, 2020 under IPC Sections 124A (sedition) and 153A (promoting or attempting to promote disharmony or feelings of enmity on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language, caste or community or any other ground whatsoever) among other provisions.
