Goa’s Development Projects Raise Environmental Concerns Over Canal and Forest Destruction.
Environmental activists in Goa are raising alarms over the destruction of mangroves and natural habitats, particularly around the Mangroves Broadwalk area. They are concerned that ongoing development projects are damaging vital ecosystems like mangrove forests and canal areas, which are crucial for coastal protection and biodiversity. These projects, which have been linked to rapid urbanization, threaten to exacerbate habitat loss. Activists are calling for stricter environmental regulations to balance development with preservation efforts to protect Goa’s fragile natural resources.
