MP HC orders curbs on felling of Dhar’s famed Baobab trees
Madhya Pradesh high court has ordered the state government to halt the felling of Baobab trees in Dhar, following protests by tribals against their translocation by Hyderabad businessman Ramdev Rao. The court has ordered the state to ensure that "not a single Baobab tree is cut for any purpose whatsoever by any authority until further orders of this court". The district has around 1,000 Baobabs, some of which are centuries old, and are of heritage and historical value. The trees have been placed under the Biodiversity Act, meaning permission for commercial use must be taken from the state biodiversity board.
