Aravalli Under New Threat - Mining, Deforestation & Ecological Imbalance in Northern India

Aravalli Under New Threat: Mining, Deforestation & Ecological Imbalance in Northern India presents a powerful account of the past, present, and uncertain future of one of India’s oldest mountain ranges. Tracing the historic environmental movement of the 1990s that successfully halted destructive mining in the Aravalli region, the book highlights how recent policy shifts and legal decisions have once again put these fragile ecosystems at risk. Through factual analysis, legal insights, and grassroots perspectives, the authors expose the growing threats of mining, deforestation, and ecological imbalance. The book also emphasizes the critical role of the Aravalli in sustaining North India’s climate, water systems, biodiversity, and cultural heritage. Blending environmental science with social awareness, this work is both a documentation of reality and a call to action—urging citizens, policymakers, and future generations to unite in protecting India’s natural backbone before irreversible damage is done.
