Court Checks Forest Project Rules
法院審查森林計畫規則
Introduction
A court in Delhi is looking at a group called the SC-NBWL. This group gives permission to build things in forests.
德里的一家法院正在調查一個名為 SC-NBWL 的組織。該組織負責核發在森林中興建工程的許可。
Main Body
The group said yes to almost all projects from 2016 to 2026. They approved 1,810 out of 1,876 projects. Some years, they did not say no to any project. They gave away a lot of forest land for mining and roads.
該組織在 2016 年至 2026 年間,幾乎核准了所有計畫。在 1,876 個計畫中,他們核准了 1,810 個。有些年份,他們沒有拒絕任何計畫。他們將大量森林土地撥給了採礦和道路建設。
The government says these projects are safe. But experts disagree. They say the group works too fast. One time, the group looked at 100 projects in only one hour. This is not enough time to study the land.
政府聲稱這些計畫是安全的。但專家並不認同,認為該組織處理速度過快。曾有一次,該組織在短短一小時內就審核了 100 個計畫。這根本沒有足夠時間來研究土地情況。
Ten people who protect nature asked the court for help. The court wants to know if the group is independent. The main board is led by the Prime Minister. This board did not meet for many years between 2012 and 2025.
十名自然保護人士請求法院協助。法院想知道該組織是否獨立。主委員會由總理領導,而該委員會在 2012 年至 2025 年之間,有多年未曾開會。
Conclusion
Now, the government must answer the court's questions about these rules.
現在政府必須回答法院關於這些規則的問題。
