Tata and GreenPeace: Humor, Turtles and Corporate Environmental Responsibility

Thanks for spreading awareness about our campaign to protect the Olive Ridleys from Tata’s destructive port at Dhamra. We need your help again like a ship on fire! Could you please email me? Will let you know whats happening, what we’re planning to do and how you can help us.

Thanks,

I don’t know whether this is called awareness or mudslinging.But either way it seems like greenpeace has made up their mind about the issue.The turtles have nested and the port is being constructed everything is normal.

But being normal wouldn’t suit the Greenpeace brand promotion.

I have heard a lot about Tata. They are very respected in india and they know thier responsibility as a indian company. Indians should protest against it, I am sure they will come up with good solution

Environmental issues are often brushed off as a matter of taste: some people relish a thriving economy, while others prefer protecting obscure little animals on inconsequential wetlands.TATA and the dpcl have assured that the safety of the turtles and their aribadda,i dont know why green peace is making so much fuss about the dhamra port,they should know that human values is as important as turtles , i sincerly support the dhambra project,

The people can call dharma now a land of opportunities. But by the way it looks that some people will not let them have it that easily. But it dosen’t matter as the people have made their choice and have understood the importance of this port and they will have it one day.

Here’s a funny video about turtles nesting in Gahirmatha Beach. ENJOY!

I think Greenpeace problem lies here: “After all, Tata has grown from a national giant into an international player”

Its says:

“It may be noted that IUCN and the MTSG (Marine Turtle Scientific Group) scientists working with the group have clearly stated that dredging operations for Dhamra does not and will not affect the Olive Ridley Turtles in Gahirmatha Marine Sanctuary and its periphery area.

Press Release from North orissa University

It has come to our notice that Greenpeace India have placed in their website a report under the title “Bio-diversity Assessment of Dhamra Port Site and Surroundings Areas, Orissa”. The cover page of the report says that the report has been prepared by the North Orissa University. We would like to clarify that no report under the above mentioned title has been prepared by the North Orissa Unversity.

North Orissa University had prepared a report under the title “Rapid Bo-diversity Assessment of Dhamra Estuary, Orissa-India” and the same was submitted to Greenpeace India who were the funding agency.

A comparison of the report as it appears in the website of Greenpeace India and the authentic report of North Orissa University reveals that the Greenpeace India have doctored the authentic report by way of changing the title and its contents for motives best known to them.

We wish to further clarify that the impact of Dhamra Port on the environment and bio-diversity of Dhamra Estuary was not within the scope of our study.

For the sake of convenience we are enclosing herewith a copy of the authentic report of the University and the report as placed by the Greenpeace India in their website along with a comparison in a tabular form which would clearly indicate the changes/deletions/additions and interpolations made by Greenpeace India.

To conclude we take serious exception to such unethical conduct by Greenpeace India.

Know more about Dhamra Port Project

Greenpeace has been variously criticized for being too radical, too alarmist, or too mainstream, for using methods bordering on eco-terrorism, for having itself caused environmental damage in its activities, for taking positions which are not environmentally or economically sound, and for valuing non-human causes over human causes. These criticisms have been made by governments, industrial and political lobbyists and other environmental groups.

Greenpeace Lies About Dhamra Port

Is that like Greenpeace always targets big corporate giant to keep them under pressure and earn money from them ultimately?

I wonder why a non-governmental organization for the protection and conservation of the environment do not like to protect the human beings. I have found in few countries innocent & poor people require protections, importance more than animals.

Why they have been kept ignored and leave behind by this type of so called good organizations.

GREENPEACE HAS NO RIGHT TO CREATE OBSTACLES FOR THE ECONOMICAL & INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT OF ANY OTHER COUNTRY.
