Aravalli's Conservation: A Geographical Perspective from Pre-cambrian to Present

Author(s) Yash Raj
Country India
Abstract The Aravalli Range, recognized as one of the oldest fold mountain systems in the world, holds a profound geographical, geological, and ecological significance in the Indian subcontinent. Originating over 2.5 billion years ago, the Aravalli Craton’s evolutionary history provides critical insights into the Archean-Paleoproterozoic transition and early plate tectonic mechanisms. Beyond its staggering geological antiquity, the Aravalli acts as a vital climatic barrier against advancing desertification and serves as a rich, albeit fragile, repository of biodiversity. However, in the modern era, rapid anthropogenic interventions including illegal mining, unchecked urbanization, and systemic deforestation, have catalysed severe environmental degradation. This multifaceted crisis is historically rooted in "wasteland governmentality," a colonial paradigm that arbitrarily classified these rugged hills as uncultivable wastes, rendering them systematically vulnerable to state-led land enclosures, arboreal bio politics, and modern real-estate speculation. This paper explores the Aravalli Range tracing its history from the Pre-Cambrian era, through indigenous sacred grove protection, to present-day ecological challenges. Drawing exclusively from scholarly assessments, it highlights the pressing necessity for sustainable land-use, rigorous ecosystem service valuation, "restorative commoning," and a paradigm-shifting revival of indigenous eco-conscious traditions to safeguard this irreplaceable ecosystem.
