What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The state government of Karnataka announced a policy review regarding land use impacts on production. This review focuses on a detailed survey of forest land, buffer zones, and eco-sensitive areas in and around forest patches. The government made this announcement despite having previously opposed the 7th draft notification for the implementation of the Kasturirangan report.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The review is critical because approximately 30 percent of coffee estates in the state are situated on land parcels that were previously designated as forest or revenue department land. If the Kasturirangan report is implemented, the declaration of these areas as protected could result in the loss of 30 to 35 percent of the coffee growing region.
