Forest Conservation Amendment Bill 2023

Source: PIB

Why in News?

Recently, the Forest (Conservation) Amendment Bill 2023 has been passed by the Lok Sabha, and it aims to bring significant changes to the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980, which is a crucial central statute for the conservation of forests in India.

What is the Background?

• After Independence, vast areas of forest land were designated as reserved and protected forests.
  • However, many forested areas were left out, and areas without any standing forests were included in 'forest' lands.
• In Godavarman case, 1996, the Supreme Court suspended the felling of trees across the country, and ruled that the FC Act would apply to all land parcels that were either recorded as 'forest' or resembled the dictionary meaning of forest.
• In June 2022, the government amended the Forest Conservation Rules to propose a mechanism to allow developers to raise plantations "over land on which the (FC) Act is not applicable" and to swap such plots against subsequent requirements of compensatory afforestation.

What are the Key Provisions of the Forest (Conservation) Amendment Bill 2023?

• Scope of the Act:
  • The Bill broadens the scope of the Act by inserting a Preamble.
  • The Act's name was changed to Van (Sanrakshan Evam Samvardhan) Adhiniyam, 1980 to reflect the potential of its provisions.
• Applicability on Various Lands:
  • The Act, which was initially applied to notified forest land, was later extended to revenue forest land and lands recorded as forest in government records.
  • The amendments seek to streamline the application of the Act to recorded forest lands, private forest lands, plantations, etc.
• Exemptions:
  • The Bill proposes certain exemptions to encourage afforestation and plantation outside forests.
  • 0.10 ha of forest land has been proposed to provide connectivity for habitation and establishments located on the side of roads and railways, up to 10 ha of land proposed for security related infrastructure and up to 5 ha of forest land in Left Wing Extremism Affected Districts for public utility projects.
  • These exemptions include strategic projects related to national security within 100 km of the International Borders, Line of Actual Control (LAC), Line of Control (LoC) etc.
• Provisions for Development:
  • The Bill extends existing provisions of the Principal Act relating to assignment of forest land, on lease to private entities, to Government companies as well.
  • This will facilitate development projects and ensure uniformity in the implementation of the Act.
• New Forestry Activities:
  • The amendments add new activities such as infrastructure for frontline forest staff, ecotourism, zoo, and safari into the array of forestry activities for the conservation of forests. Surveys and investigations in forest areas will not be considered non-forestry activities.
• Climate Change Mitigation and Conservation:
  • It aims to ensure that such areas contribute to India's efforts in combating climate change by being recognized as part of its forest conservation efforts and contribute to India’s international commitments like Net Zero Emission by 2070
• Empowering Local Communities:
  • The Bill encourages activities like establishment of zoos, safaris, and ecotourism, which will be owned by the government and set up in approved plans outside Protected Areas.
  • These activities not only raise awareness about forest conservation and wildlife protection but also create livelihood opportunities for local communities, integrating them with overall development.

What are the Concerns Related to the Bill?

• Objection on Hindi Name:
  • There were objections to the Act’s new name (which is now in hindi) on the grounds that it was “non-inclusive” and left out many among the “(non-Hindi speaking) population both in South India and also in the North-East.
• Impact on Ecologically Sensitive Areas:
  • The proposed exemptions in the Bill, particularly those related to strategic projects near international borders, have raised concerns about the potential clearance of forests in ecologically sensitive areas, such as the Himalayan, trans-Himalayan, and northeastern regions.
    • Bill, 2023 (FCA) will erase the rights of indigenous communities living on India’s borders.
  • Without appropriate "assessment and mitigation plans," such clearances could threaten biodiversity and trigger extreme weather events.
• Limited Applicability:
  • The Bill restricts the legislation's ambit only to areas recorded as forests on or after October1980. This exclusion may result in leaving out significant sections of forest land and biodiversity hot spots from the Act's purview, allowing them to be potentially sold, diverted, cleared, and exploited for non-forestry purposes.
• Concurrent List and Center-State Balance:
  • Some State governments have argued that forest conservation falls under the Concurrent List, which means both the Center and States have a role in the matter.
  • They believe that the proposed amendments could tilt the balance towards the Center and may impact the rights and authority of the State governments in forest conservation matters.

Way Forward

• There is a need to conduct a thorough and comprehensive assessment of the proposed amendments and their potential impacts on forests, biodiversity, and local communities.
• This assessment should consider ecological, social, and environmental factors and involve input from diverse stakeholders, including experts, NGOs, tribal communities, and State governments.
• Continue engaging in meaningful consultation and dialogue with all stakeholders to understand their perspectives and address their concerns. This will promote transparency, inclusivity, and better decision-making.

Why in News?

In a recent announcement, the Ministry for Home Affairs revealed that starting from 2022, India is maintaining separate data for incidents involving Left Wing Extremists.

• LWE has been a significant security challenge in India for several decades, particularly in regions affected by civil unrest and armed conflicts.

What is Left Wing Extremism?

• About:
  • Left-wing extremism, also known as left-wing terrorism or radical left-wing movements, refers to political ideologies and groups that advocate for significant societal and political change through revolutionary means.
  • LWE groups may target government institutions, law enforcement agencies, or private property to further their agenda.
  • The LWE movement in India originated in a 1967 uprising in Naxalbari, West Bengal.
• Status in India:
  • Union Home Ministry has stated that violence related to LWE had come down by 76% in 2022 as compared to 2010
    • Also, there has been a decrease in the geographical spread of violence as only 46 districts reported LWE-related violence in 2021, compared to 96 districts in 2010.

• Responsible Factors for LWE: The 2006 D Bandopadhyay Committee identified governance gaps and extensive discrimination against tribals in economic, socio-political, and cultural spheres as the primary causes of Naxalism's proliferation.
  • Socio-economic Disparities: India has significant socio-economic disparities, with large sections of the population living in poverty and facing issues such as, unemployment, and lack of access to basic amenities.
    • Left-wing extremist groups have historically capitalized on these grievances and used them to gain support among the marginalized communities.
  • Land Alienation and Displacement: The issue of land rights and land alienation has been a major concern for many rural communities in India.
    • The development projects and acquisition of land for industrial purposes have sometimes led to the displacement of local communities without adequate compensation or rehabilitation.
      • This has been a focal point of Naxalite agitation.
  • Adivasi Rights: India is home to a significant number of Adivasis, who are indigenous communities with their distinct cultures and traditions.
    • Left-wing extremist groups often advocate for Adivasi rights and resist perceived exploitation of their resources and displacement from their ancestral lands.
• Government Initiatives:

Why in News?

Recently, an international team of astronomers studied repeating Fast Radio Bursts (FRB), FRB 20190520B, using the Green Bank Telescope in the U.S. and the Parkes Observatory in Australia. The report was published in the journal Science.

What are Fast Radio Bursts?

• They are mysterious emissions of radio light (or Radio Waves) that come from the far reaches of the universe.
• FRBs reach Earth from faraway galaxies, emitting as much energy in a millisecond as the sun does over weeks.
• They are the brightest radio bursts found in nature.
• Astrophysicists have only been able to 'see' FRBs momentarily using large radio telescopes, but their precise origins and causes are unknown.
• Some FRBs are 'one-off' phenomena, while others are repeaters, flashing earth intermittently.

What are the Key Highlights of the Study?

• Highly Variable Faraday Rotation Measure:
  • The astronomers discovered that the Faraday rotation measure of the repeating FRB 20190520B was highly variable and reversed direction twice.
    • This measure is an indicator of the FRB's magnetic field strength.
• Binary Star System:
  • The variation in the FRB's magnetic field strength and the direction of the reversal led the researchers to conclude that the FRB source is likely orbiting a binary star system, where the companion star is possibly a massive star or a black hole.
    • This led to the raising of the possibility that "all repeating FRBs could be in binaries." However, further monitoring and research are required to confirm this hypothesis.
• Turbulent Magnetized Plasma Environment:
  • The observed changes in the magnetic field and electron density around the FRB source suggest the presence of a turbulent magnetized plasma environment.
    • This environment likely influences the behavior of the FRB signals.
• Importance of Radio Telescopes:
  • The study underscores the significance of advanced radio telescopes in studying FRBs and other intergalactic phenomena.
  • These telescopes, such as the Very Large Array and the Deep Synoptic Array-110, enable precise localization of FRBs and provide valuable data for understanding their sources and characteristics.
• Unraveling Cosmic Mysteries:
  • The study emphasizes the role of radio astronomy in unraveling cosmic mysteries and deepening our understanding of the universe.

World Hepatitis Day

Why in News?

World Hepatitis Day (WHD) takes place every year on 28^th July bringing the world together under a single theme to raise awareness of the global burden of viral hepatitis and to influence real change.

What are the Key Points Related to WHD?

• Theme 2023: One life, one liver.
• Significance:
  • On this day, communities, people, and politicians may learn about the many varieties of hepatitis, as well as about preventative strategies, testing, and treatment choices.
  • It promotes global advocacy and cooperation in the fight against the rising number of hepatitis-related diseases and fatalities.

What is Hepatitis?

• About:
  • The word hepatitis refers to any inflammation of the liver — the irritation or swelling of the liver cells from any cause.
  • It can be acute (inflammation of the liver that presents with sickness — jaundice, fever, vomiting) or chronic (inflammation of the liver that lasts more than six months, but essentially showing no symptoms).
• Causes:
  • Usually caused by a group of viruses known as the “hepatotropic” (liver directed) viruses, including A, B, C, D and E.
  • Other viruses may also cause it, such as the varicella virus that causes chicken pox.
  • SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing Covid-19 may injure the liver too.
  • Other causes include drugs and alcohol abuse, fat buildup in the liver (fatty liver hepatitis) or an autoimmune process in which a person’s body makes antibodies that attack the liver (autoimmune hepatitis).
• Types of Hepatitis:
  • Hepatitis A virus (HAV): It is an inflammation of the liver that can cause mild to severe illness.
    • It is transmitted through ingestion of contaminated food and water or through direct contact with an infectious person (sex practices).
    • Almost everyone recovers fully from hepatitis A with a lifelong immunity (few people with HAV could die from fulminant hepatitis).
    • A safe and effective vaccine is available to prevent hepatitis A.
  • Hepatitis B virus (HBV): It is a viral infection that attacks the liver and can cause both acute and chronic disease.
    • It is most commonly transmitted from mother to child during birth, in early childhood, during sex with an infected partner, unsafe injections.
    • Hepatitis B can be prevented by vaccines.
  • Hepatitis C virus (HCV): The virus can cause both acute and chronic hepatitis, ranging in severity from a mild illness to a serious, lifelong illness including liver cirrhosis and cancer.
    • It is a bloodborne virus and most infection occurs through exposure to unsafe health care, blood transfusions, injection drug use and sexual practices.
    • Direct-acting antiviral medicines (DAAs) can cure more than 95% of persons with hepatitis C infection, but access to diagnosis and treatment is low.
    • There is currently no effective vaccine against hepatitis C.
  • Hepatitis D virus (HDV): It is a virus that requires hepatitis B virus (HBV) for its replication. It affects globally nearly 5% of people who have a chronic infection with HBV.
    • Hepatitis B and D can infect people together (co-infection) or one after the other (super-infection). This is more common in native people, dialysis patients and drug users. Having both viruses is very bad for the liver and can cause cancer or death.
    • Hepatitis D infection can be prevented by hepatitis B immunization, but treatment success rates are low.
  • Hepatitis E virus (HEV): It is an inflammation of the liver caused by infection with the HEV. It is found worldwide, but most common in East and South Asia.
    • The virus is transmitted via the fecal-oral route, principally via contaminated water.
    • A vaccine to prevent hepatitis E virus infection has been developed and is licensed in China but is not yet available elsewhere.

Standard Model of Particle Physics and Electric Dipole Moment

Source: TH

Why in News?

Some physicists are doing experiments to find flaws in a theory called the Standard Model of particle physics with taking electron dipole moment into consideration.

What is the Standard Model of Particle Physics?

• About:
  • The Standard Model of particle physics is a theoretical framework that describes the fundamental particles and their interactions.
  • It incorporates three of the four fundamental forces of nature: electromagnetism, the weak nuclear force, and the strong nuclear force, while gravity is not included in this model.
• Components:
  • Elementary Particles: The model classifies particles into two main categories: fermions and bosons.
  • Fermions: These are particles that make up matter. They are further divided into two groups:
    • Quarks: The building blocks of protons and neutrons, among other particles.
    • Leptons: Include particles like electrons.
  • Bosons: These particles are responsible for mediating the fundamental forces between fermions. It includes Photons, W and Z bosons, Gluons, Higgs boson.
• Limitations:
  • It does not account for dark matter and dark energy, which are significant components of the universe.
    • It doesn’t know why the Higgs boson is so heavy or why gravity is so much weaker than the other fundamental forces.
  • It also does not provide a quantum theory of gravity, which is needed to understand phenomena such as black holes and the Big Bang.

How does the Electron Play an Important Role in Testing the Standard Model?

• The electron is one of the simplest and most precisely measured particles in nature. It has a negative electric charge, a spin (a form of intrinsic angular momentum) and a mass, but no other known properties.
  • According to the Standard Model, the electron should have a spherical shape, meaning that its positive and negative charges are distributed evenly around its center.
• This implies that it has no electric dipole moment (EDM), which is a measure of how its charges are separated along its spin axis.
• Therefore, measuring the EDM of the electron is a sensitive way to test the validity of the Standard Model and to probe for new physics beyond it.
