Landowners wary of EFL notification Areas around the Malabar Wildlife Sanctuary are witnessing large-scale tree felling as landowners believe that they won’t be able to sell trees after the classification of ecologically fragile areas around the sanctuary. Even small trees on large acres around the sanctuary have been cut believing the false propaganda over Ecologically Fragile Land (EFL) notification. Greens say this will lead to unexpected environmental issues in the area, which has witnessed several episodes of landslips and soil piping phenomena.
