PASSAGE - 4Throughout the extensive areas of the tropics,

the tall and stately primeval forest has given way toeroded land, scrub, and the jumble of secondarygrowth. Just as the virgin forests of Europe and NorthAmerica were laid low by man’s improvidence, sothose of the torpics are now vanishing - only theirdestruction may be encompassed in decades insteadof centuries, the earth’s great rain forests may vanishwithin a generation. The economic loss will beincalculable, for the primary rain forests are richsources of timber (mahogany, teak) and such by-products as resins, gums, cellulose, camphor andrattans. No one, indeed, can compute their resources,for the thousands of species that compose the forestcover. There are only a few whose physical andchemical properties have been studied with a view

to commercial use.Most important of all, the primeval rain forest

is a reservoir of specimens, a dynamic center ofevolution whence the rest of the world’s plant lifehas been continuously enriched with new forms.These extensive reserves must be defended from theacquisitive hand of man, whose ruthless axe wouldexpose them to the ravages of sun and rain.161.

PASSAGE - 5Radically changing monsoon patterns,

reduction in the winter rice harvest and a quantumincrease in respiratory diseases-all part of theenvironmental doomsday scenario which is reportedlyplaying out in South Asia. According to a UnitedNations Environment Programme report, a deadlythree-km deep blanket of pollution comprising afearsome cocktail of ash acids, aerosols and otherparticles has enveloped this region. For India, alreadystruggling to cope with a drought, the implications

of this are devastating and further crop failure willamount to a life and death question for many Indians.The increase in premature deaths will have adversesocial and economic consequences and a rise inmorbidities will place an unbearable burden on ourcrumbling health system. And there is no one toblame but ourselves. Both official and corporate Indiahas always been allergic to any mention of cleantechnology. Most mechanical two wheelers roll off theassembly line without proper pollution controlsystem. Little effort is made for R & D on simpletechnologies, which could make a vital difference topeople’s lives and the environment.

However, while there is no denying that SouthAsia must clean up its act, skeptics might questionthe timing of the haze report. The Kyoto meet onclimate change is just two weeks away and the stageis set for the usual battle between the developingworld and the West, particularly the U.S. PresidentMr. Bush has adamantly refused to sign any protocolwhich would mean a change in Americanconsumption level. U.N. Environment report will likelyfind a place in the U.S. arsenal as it plants an accusingfinger towards controls like India and China. Yet theU.S. Can hardly deny its own dubious role in thematter of erasing trading quotas. Richer contries cansimply buy up excess credits from poorer countriesand continue to pollute. Rather than try to get thebetter of developing countries, who undoubtedly havetaken up environmental shortcuts in their bid to catchup with the West, the U.S. should take a look at theenvironmental profligacy, which is going on within.From opening up virgin territories for oil explorationto relaxing the standards for drinking water. Mr.Bush’s policies are not exactly beneficial, not even toAmerica’s interests. We realize that we are all in thistogether and that pollution anywhere should be aglobal concern otherwise there will only be moretunnels at the end of the tunnel.166. Both official and corporate India are allergic to

(B) have adverse social and economicconsequences

(C) make positive effect on our efforts to controlpopulation.
