A proposed 900 MW, 4,500-acre solar project near Chhari Dhandh in Kutch threatens the Ramsar-designated wetland, Banni grasslands, and pastoral livelihoods by altering wetlands, grazing routes and bird habitats. Conservationists warn renewable projects must assess landscape-level ecological and social impacts, as habitat loss imperils migratory birds and traditional Maldhari pastoral economies.
