Eco-damage severe and lasting- The Times of India

New Delhi: India's tsunami-hit regions are showing up "severe" ecological damage, and some of it will stay.

This is based on a preliminary government assessment of mangroves, corals, coastal forests, wetlands, biodiversity, groundwater and geomorphologic features such as sand dunes and rock formations.

Eleven days into the sudden disaster, the Union Environment Ministry met on Wednesday evening with officials and scientists from ten institutes and organisations to decide on a strategy on what they could do to repair damage which would impact lives.
