Imagine cutting down millions of trees… destroying one of Earth’s last untouched ecosystems… risking the extinction of giant sea turtles… and displacing an ancient tribe that has lived isolated for thousands of years — all for a project most people have never even heard of.
This is Great Nicobar Island.
The Great Nicobar Project is one of India’s biggest and most controversial mega developments ever proposed.
Supporters say it will strengthen national security, boost trade, and transform India into a global shipping power near the Malacca Strait.
Critics say it could destroy fragile rainforests, threaten endangered leatherback sea turtles, damage coral reefs, and displace the ancient Shompen tribe.
In this documentary, we break down:
• The 81,000-crore mega project
• Environmental destruction concerns
• Indigenous tribe controversy
• National security arguments
• Coral reef and wildlife risks
• The debate over development vs conservation
Is this progress… or one of the biggest environmental mistakes in modern history?
Watch till the end.
