• National Green Tribunal (NGT) is the only judicial body below the Supreme Court before which 
cases related to environment and forests can be filed. 
• NGT is also the first recourse anybody except the 
• project proponent has to be heard on any 
environmental and forest clearances. 
• The clearance processes, handled by the ministry's statutory 
advisory bodies, do not have a fixed process of engaging with other stakeholders directly. 
• The NGT hears all first challenges to environmental and forest clearances. Its orders can be 
appealed against in the Supreme Court. 
National 
Green 
Tribunal 
Members of National Green Tribunal 
• Chairperson: Retired Supreme Court justice or a high court chief justice. 
• 10 – 20 Judicial Members 
• 10 – 20 Expert members from across the country 
Proposed changes 
Judicial tribunal to be reduce to an administrative one under the ministry itself
Wildlife 
The National Board of wildlife 
1) Needs to have 10 non official members but only has 2 instead 
2) Needs to have 5 independent NGO’s instead has only 
one quasi – government 
1) Gujarat Ecological Education and Research (GEER) Foundation, 
Gandhinagar, Gujarat” which is a Gujarat Government organization and not 
an NGO 
1) The meeting minutes were always made available on the public domain but not 
the last meeting that happened in August where more than 100 projects were 
approved 
2) The ministry of environment and forests (MoEF) has made seeking environment 
clearance for development projects within 10km from national parks and wildlife 
sanctuaries easier by approaching the National Board for Wildlife directly instead 
of the state wildlife boards. 
3) The proposals will now be directly dealt by the NBWL standing committee 
headed by union environment minister
Forests 
1) Delinking the forest and environmental acts to allow the 
projects such as highways, on non-forest land without waiting for 
approvals for the stretch involving the forests 
2) Increasing the economic activity in the Naxal affected areas by giving clearance to 
minor projects needing up to 40 hectares 
3) Gram sabhas in forest areas have been stripped of their power to approve or 
reject proposals for the diversion of their forest lands for building roads, transmission 
lines, canals or other linear projects.
1) Environment Ministry has allowed coalmines with a capacity of less than 16 
million tons per annum to expand without conducting a public hearing. The cut-off for 
this exemption used to be 8 mtpa. 
2) Cleared the one-time expansion of mines with capacity greater than 20 mtpa if the 
expansion is restricted to 6 mtpa. 
3) Exempted irrigation projects affecting less than 2,000 hectares from 
environmental clearances 
4) Irrigation projects below 10,000 hectares can be cleared by the state 
governments. 
Environment 
5) lifted a moratorium on eight critically polluted clusters across 
the country
