Rare low-basalt plateau with 76 plant species in Western Ghats Discovered

Open in new window

Syllabus

  • Prelims: Biodiversity

In News: Researchers from Pune have discovered a low-level basalt plateau, an isolated flat-topped steep hill, in the Western Ghats in Maharashtra.

  • Recorded 76 plant species belonging to 24 families
  • Registered a floristic inventory which they claim to be important from the conservation point of view, considering the rampant urbanisation.
  • Location: Manjare village

The Details:

  • Three types of rock outcrops are known in the biodiversity hotspot of Western Ghats — lateritic outcrops at high (HLF) and low altitude (LLF), and basalt outcrops at high altitudes (BM). Now a low-altitude basalt outcrop has been found in Murbad district, about 100 kilometres from Mumbai.
  • Rock outcrops are landscape habitats with more areas of rock surface exposure than surrounding areas.
  • It emerges when the surface soil and other materials wear off, exposing the parent rock surface. The outcrop is identified if the area has more than 50 per cent of such rocks.
  • Besides the outcrops, the team also recorded 76 plant species belonging to 24 families, mainly from Poaceae, Leguminosae and Cyperaceae ranges.
  • What stands out is:
    • It is the first time that such plants were found during research on floral biodiversity.
    • The discovery holds significance as flora growing on these rocks experience multiple environmental stresses.
    • As they grow among rocks, the flora faces a harsher environment compared to other species growing elsewhere
    • What are the Challenges?
      • Limited soil, restricting their nutrient availability
      • The lack of soil also reduces water retention capacity, which puts additional water stress on the plants
      • Face challenges during peak summers: In summer, the rock surfaces have higher temperatures than soil or other surfaces, making it difficult for these species to survive.
    • But despite multiple stresses, these plants are found thriving which shows that these plants have adapted to their surroundings and indicates that a certain level of endemism also exists.

Kas Plateau

  • Locally called as ‘Kas Pathar’ or ‘Plateau of Flowers’.
  • A UNESCO world natural heritage site in Maharashtra, is a lateritic plateau (composed of mainly laterite rock, rich in iron and aluminium content) that hosts many endemic wild flowering plants.
  • Location: 25 Km away from Satara District H.Q. & 20 Km away from Northern part of Koyana Sanctuary.
  • The major portion of the plateau is Reserve Forest.
  • Kas plateau is listed under the Protection Working Circle.
  • Kas lake (built 100 years ago) is a perennial source of Water supply for western part of Satara city by gravity.

Syllabus

  • Prelims: Biodiversity

In News: One of the largest lakes in the world, Lake Victoria, has been suffering from a variety of unsustainable human activities over the last five decades. Delhi-based non-profit Centre for Science and Environment and National Environment Management Council (NEMC), Tanzania have jointly released a report on managing its water quality.

About Lake Victoria:

  • Lake Victoria and its flora and fauna support the livelihoods of about 45 million people.
  • The ecologically unique water body is shared by three countries — Tanzania (51 per cent), Uganda (44 per cent) and Kenya (5 per cent).
  • Africa’s largest lake by area, the world’s largest tropical lake, and the world’s second-largest freshwater lake by surface area after Lake Superior in North America.
  • Occupies a shallow depression in Africa.
  • The lake was renamed after Queen Victoria by the explorer John Hanning Speke, the first Briton to document it in 1858, while on an expedition with Richard Francis Burton

Findings & Suggestions of the Report

  • Identified Mwanza city as a hotspot, contributing a substantial pollution load in the form of industrial effluents, domestic sewage and dumping of solid waste.
  • It also recognised two rivers — the Mirongo and the Nyashishi — as the major water bodies carrying domestic and industrial pollution loads, respectively.
  • Results of the sampling exercise showed substantial pollutant load in the rivers, which may be getting discharged in the lake.
  • The water from the Nyashishi is extensively used for agricultural purposes before it meets the lake.
    • The focus on the Nyashishi should now be doubled as any pollutant in the river, along with affecting the water quality of Lake Victoria, may also adversely impact crops and human health.

The urgent need for CBFC reforms

Open in new window

Syllabus

  • Mains – GS 2 (Governance)

Context: The Benegal Committee and the Justice Mukul Mudgal Committee of 2013 had both suggested moving away from censorship towards age-based rating/classification norms for films.

About Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC):

  • Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) is a Statutory body under Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, regulating the public exhibition of films under the provisions of the Cinematograph Act, 1952.
  • It ensures the good and healthy entertainment in accordance with the provisions of the Cinematograph Act 1952 and the Cinematograph (Certification) Rules 1983.
  • Films can be publicly exhibited in India only after they have been certified by CBFC.
  • The Board consists of non-official members and a Chairperson (all of whom are appointed by the Union Government) and functions with headquarters at Mumbai.
  • It has nine Regional Offices at Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Thiruvananthapuram, Hyderabad, New Delhi, Cuttack and Guwahati.
  • The Regional Offices are assisted in the examination of films by Advisory Panels.
  • The Union Government nominates the Members of the panels by drawing people from different walks of life for a period of two years.
  • The Certification process is in accordance with The Cinematograph Act, 1952, The Cinematograph (Certification) Rules, 1983, and the guidelines issued by the Central government u/s 5 (B).

About Censorship:

  • Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information.
  • This may be done on the basis that such material is considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or “inconvenient”.
  • Censorship can be conducted by governments, private institutions and other controlling bodies.

Legal backing to Censorship in India:

The Cinematograph Act, of 1952:

  • The legislation exclusively deals with the censorship of movies in India with respect to certain rules and regulations established by law.
  • The certification, Censor Board establishment, and scope of such Board is provided in this legislation.
  • The practice of censoring movies to remove any objectionable material by the Censor Board has been followed in India.
  • It is to make the movie suitable for the target audience.
  • The viewership is based on the certificate issued to every movie prescribing the audience that can watch the movie.

Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules 2021:

  • Digital media is brought under the ambit of Section 69(A) of the Information Technology Act, of 2000 which gives takedown powers to the government.
  • The section allows the Centre to block public access to an intermediary “in the interest of sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of the State, friendly relations with foreign States or public order or for preventing incitement to the commission of any cognisable offence relating to above”.

Digital Media:

  • It covers digitised content that can be transmitted over the internet or computer networks.
  • It includes intermediaries such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube.
  • It includes publishers of news and current affairs content and also curators of such content.
  • Publishers of news and current affairs content cover online papers, news portals, news agencies and news aggregators.

Significance of Censorship:

Films:

  • Films have always been considered the most powerful medium of expression. It is stationarily accepted that cinema is a form of speech & expression.
  • They may affect public attitudes and behavior in numerous ways i.e., in negative or positive ways.
  • Removal of materials that are obscene or otherwise considered morally questionable.
  • Pornography, for example, is often censored under this rationale.

Online platforms:

  • Increasing level of poor, offensive and abusive content is sometimes spread in the name of freedom of expression.
  • With the deeper reach of smartphones, children and youth are being misled by such content.
  • Increasing digital crimes like radicalisation, terrorist recruitment, digital hacking, child pornography, etc.

Religion Censorship:

  • Religious censorship is the means by which any material considered objectionable by a certain religion is removed.

Political Censorship :

  • Political censorship occurs when governments hold back information from their citizens.
  • This is often done to exert control over the populace and prevent free expression that might foment rebellion.

Military Censorship:

  • Military censorship is the process of keeping military intelligence and tactics confidential and away from the enemy.
  • This is used to counter espionage.

Challenges associated with the Censorship:

  • Against the Natural justice and freedom of speech: Natural justice is a fundamental principle in public law when decisions affect fundamental rights such as the freedom of speech.
    • The Supreme Court of India on various occasions has recognised that the right to receive and impart information is implicit in free speech.
  • Selective targeting: Most arguments like abusive language, against the cultural ethos, are either vague or irrelevant as they often depict day-to-day life.
  • Curb Freedom of Artistic Expressions:
    • The present norms put a curb on the Freedom to Artistic Expressions under Article 19.
  • Exploitation of emergency powers: The recent blocking has been made under Rule 16(3) of the IT Rules and Section 69(A) of the IT Act, 2000 which allows for “emergency blocking”.
    • However, the term “emergency” itself is not legislatively defined, but following the dictionary, the meaning would mean “a dangerous situation requiring immediate action”.
    • It permits an expedited process that weakens the already minimal checks by bypassing a committee and eliminating the opportunity to be heard.
    • We have also been witnessing increased use of this emergency power,
  • Rising Intolerance and Populist measure: It has also been alleged that the rules will be more misused than for real regulation.
    • There are instances when the government tried to curb certain Anti- Government Agendas while ignoring populist fake news.

Way Forward:

There are numerous landmark judgements in this regard which have mostly arisen out of a conflict between the fundamental right to speech and expression and the restrictions imposed in consonance with the restrictions enshrined in the Constitution for the right. It is the obligation of the state to protect the fundamental rights of its citizens and every action while sanctioning the censorship shall be equivalent to reasonable restrictions.
