Dear All I do not agree with few statements of Shrikant Ji like ....'Kas flora diversity and distribution has not changed a bit in the last 35 years. This is in spite of trampling, burning, grazing and other local interventions over infinite years. Plants regenerating from seeds are abundent and plucking by a few over enthusiasts makes a little or no difference to their re-appearance. Plants said to have some use are plucked the most.' Pants are abundent right now as per your statement but what about next? ''Plucking by a few over enthusiasts makes a little or no difference to their re-appearance''. I strongly oppose this statement of yours. Dear sir, if every single visitor is plucking out a single plant every time what will happen? Its a common sense multiplication naturally stops after some time, may take longer time but it happens always. May be there is no change at Kas, as shrikant Ji said but if this continues, the day will no longer to turn Kas in Plataeu like Pachgani. Shrikant Ji as per your statement then Pachgani and Mahabaleshwar also seems to be same as they are in last 35 years? isn't it? Dear all these are my opinions and ofcourse everyone has a right to express with his own veiws. Thanx to support. If Nature Survive We Survive !!
Until the last tree is cut; Until the last river is dry; Until the last fish is caught; Until the last animal is killed; Man willnot realise that he cannot eat money. Thanx a lot.
