Plantation of non-native trees will not help

As a friend brought it in the mean while discussion, I realized that planting a non-native trees and continuing deforestation / unnecessary landscaping will not help. Like in cases of Utharakhand disasters , native plants are deodars but not shaal trees. Deodars would greatly prevent such and keep the hold tighten on mountain and hills where as shaal trees would not be able to help. Hope Govt listens to these concerns of many who are already working on bringing awareness about this , properly educates all the needed and takes proper measures.


Not only about disaster control but lot more things like life time of those plants, survival of various species which are natives of that land would be interrelated and connected to this factor. Nature designs everything as per climatic conditions there and facilitates a balanced ecological cycle at all places, I believe.


Would not that be a great day to see Indian Govt being really concerned about potential disasters that are going to occur in coming 15-25 years due to all these?




Thanks
