📖 About The Book

In a world rapidly pushing toward modernization, questions arise that test our balance between development and environmental conservation. Should we construct a state-of-the-art airport in rural Uttar Pradesh or preserve the fast-disappearing habitat of the Sarus crane? Should we produce more palm oil or protect the endangered orangutan? These are not just policy decisions—they affect lives, ecosystems, and the planet's future.

Green Wars, originally written by Bahar Dutt and now beautifully translated into Marathi by Ravindra Bhagavate, dives into these compelling dilemmas. With the eye of an investigative journalist and the passion of a conservationist, Dutt travels from Arunachal Pradesh to the Arctic, from Goa to Gangotri, shedding light on illegal mining, climate change, and the harsh realities of ecological degradation.

The book explores how a growing economy creates conflicting priorities, often placing short-term gains above long-term sustainability. Yet, it does not preach. Instead, it shares real-life stories, field experiences, and thought-provoking insights that invite readers to reflect on their own roles in this global crisis.

Lucid, engaging, and intensely personal, this book is not only for green warriors but also for those who simply long for blue skies, clean rivers, and fresh air. A must-read for anyone concerned with the intersection of environment, economy, and ethics.
