WWF ki nayi report mein ek shocker aaya hai—global wildlife populations **73.2%** se crash ho gayi hain. Lekin India mein tigers, rhinos aur lions ki sankhya badhi hai. Investors dhyan dein: ye conservation success infrastructure projects ke liye bade regulatory hurdles la sakti hai.
World Wide Fund (WWF) aur Zoological Society of London ki latest report, Living Planet Report 2026, ne duniya ko hila kar rakh diya hai. 1970 se le kar 2022 tak, 35,803 populations aur 5,790 species ka analysis karne ke baad pata chala hai ki wildlife average 73.2% tak khatam ho gaya hai. Isme freshwater systems ki halat sabse kharab hai, jahan 85% ka decline dekha gaya hai.
India ki kamaal ki performance
Baki duniya jahan struggle kar rahi hai, India ne sabko surprise kar diya hai. Yahan conservation efforts ka result saaf dikh raha hai. Greater one-horned rhino ki population 3,300 ke paar ho gayi hai, aur Asiatic lions ki sankhya 2020 mein 674 thi jo 2025 mein badh kar 891 ho gayi hai. Iske alawa, Ganges river dolphins ki sankhya 6,324 record ki gayi hai. Ye dikhata hai ki agar sahi tareeke se focus kiya jaye, toh nuksan ko reverse kiya ja sakta hai.
Infrastructure aur Investors ke liye kya matlab hai?
Ab ye part sabse zaruri hai. India mein environment protection ke rules aur strict hone wale hain. Road, power, mining aur infrastructure companies ke liye Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) ab aur mushkil ho jayega. Agar aapka project kisi eco-sensitive zone ya wildlife corridor ke paas hai, toh clearance mein deri hona confirm hai.
Iska matlab hai ki companies ke compliance costs badhenge, project design change ho sakte hain aur kaam pura hone mein zyada time lagega. Aane wale time mein ESG compliance standards aur high honge. Jo companies environment risk ko pehle se manage kar ke chalengi, unhe regulatory clearances mein kam takleef hogi. Investors ko infrastructure, energy aur resource sector mein aise stocks par nazar rakhni chahiye jo in environment-related hurdles ko proactively handle kar rahe hain.
