The Environment Ministry has rejected at least 9 projects across India — saying they would destroy the habitat of endangered animals. Of 25 projects submitted to the Standing Committee of the National Board of Wildlife for approval, nine have been rejected outright. If these projects had been cleared it would have sliced open the habitat of the tiger, the red panda and the Indian gharial.
