Over 100 former bureaucrats have written to the government as they try to sound an alarm against the new Forest (Conservation) Bill. Some believe that this bill, if passed in its current form, may lead to massive deforestation. Will there be more commercialisation under the garb of eco-tourism? Will the bill’s provisions displace the tribals? Will it support India's net-zero ambitions? 

Host Kalpana Pathak raises these questions with:

1- Tushar Dash, Independent Researcher on Forest Rights Governance 

2- Kanchi Kohli, an environmental law and policy researcher
