Abstract

THE Kerala government seems all set to give up its commitment to protect wetlands and paddy fields. The Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) government in the state has decided to make “necessary” amendments to the Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land & Wetland Act, a stringent legislation that was passed unanimously by the state assembly in 2008. It has also decided to regularise all conversions and reclamation of paddy fields and wetlands prior to 2005.
