timesofindia.indiatimes.com - HYDERABAD: Forsaking an environmental cause for monetary gain, the Andhra Pradesh government wants the Centre to lift the ban on felling the endangered and precious red sander trees. The state government has written to the Union forests ministry for removing red sanders from the endangered list, a move that has attracted protests from environmentalists.
Even as the state government is under fire for the killing of 20 woodcutters in Seshachalam forests, it wants to sell the highly expensive wood in the international market to generate revenue for the cash-strapped state.
