Dear all,
You must be aware of the recent developments in the Vaagaikulam tank in
Tirnulveli dist where trees on which birds roost have been chopped and this
was facilitated by a felling order from the forest department itself. ( See
for more info
http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-tamilnadu/article2507987.ece).
There has been many new developments over the past few hours and there seems
to be a political pressure not to revoke the permission to cut the remaining
trees. These incidents are in the background where the forest department has
refused permissions earlier and was working towards making the unique tank a
bird conservation reserve.

Please treat this mail as a personal request and do spare a moment to read
through the petition and the enclosed URLs and extend your support in saving
what is a one-of-its-kind heronry in the district of Tirunelveli.
