Dia Mirza Instagram – The total land area of India is about 3.28 million Sq. Km. So, India accounts for about 2.4% of the total land area on Earth. Seems pretty crazy to imagine how more than 17% of the world’s population lives in just 2.4% of this total land area on Earth!
India also shares this space with 50% of Worlds Asian Elephants, 70% of the worlds Lion population, 70% of the worlds Tiger population and 90% of the worlds One Horned Rhino population.
Just 21% of India’s landmass is forest cover and less than 5% is dense forest.
These forests feed India’s rivers, manage fragile ecosystems and regulate our climate.
#RightOfPassage is an important initiative to link our forests that have been fragmented by urban development. Roads, highways, railways, mines and other human activities have fragmented what once were dense connected forests.
Why do our forests need to be connected? Why do we need to ensure our #WildLife has #RightOfPassage?
Because #Elephants and #Tigers and all #WildLife that are a part of these forests keep our forests ALIVE. Protecting and securing their Right of Passage means protecting India’s carbon sinks, its sources of clean air and freshwater — which are essential to our nation’s future, our health, opportunity and SURVIVAL.
