650 million years of history. India's oldest mountain range is vanishing. Join the movement to protect our ecological lifeline.
A dangerous new regulation states that only hills taller than 100 meters qualify as "Aravalli." But most of these ancient hills are naturally lower than this arbitrary threshold. This means nearly 90% of the Aravalli range could lose legal protection, opening the door to mining, real estate, and destruction.
The Aravalli Hills are not just mountains - they are India's ecological lifeline. Older than the Himalayas, these ancient peaks act as a natural barrier against the Thar Desert, regulate rainfall patterns, and recharge vital groundwater reserves for millions of people.
Home to leopards, nilgai, golden jackals, and over 300 species of birds, the Aravalli forests provide crucial habitat for wildlife while serving as the lungs of the National Capital Region.

Despite the challenges, grassroots organizations, activists, and local communities are fighting back. Legal victories, restoration projects, and awareness campaigns are making a real difference.
In 2022, the Supreme Court upheld protections for the entire Aravalli Range. Community-led afforestation efforts have restored hundreds of hectares.
