Highlights:
1. The Forest (Conservation) Amendment Bill, 2023, was passed by the Lok Sabha without significant changes.
2. Though its Preamble aims to achieve net zero emissions by 2070 and increase forest cover, the actual provisions of the Bill contradict these goals.
3. The Bill raises concerns due to its narrowed forest definition, exclusion of fragile ecosystems from clearance requirements, exemptions for construction projects, and the potential disenfranchisement of forest people and local communities.
4. While exceptions for strategic and security-related projects are necessary, blanket exemptions from regulatory laws are not the answer.
Catchline:
Forests and other natural ecosystems cannot be considered a luxury. They are an absolute necessity.

The Cinematograph (Amendment) Bill, 2023, is important for two main reasons:
First, it helps fight film piracy and makes sure that movies are certified based on age-appropriateness. This protects the film industry and reduces the huge losses caused by piracy, estimated at around Rs 20,000 crore every year.
Second, the amendment makes the process of film certification smoother, aligning it with existing laws and considering what both the film industry and the audience need.
