Highlighting the harmful effects of plastics, the ACF stated that it takes anywhere between 300/400 to 2000 years for plastics to decompose.

"As such, they cause an excessive amount of damage to the natural environment", said Munal while adding that plastic wastes have spread across oceans, mountains, wetlands & rivers affecting biodiversity and consequently leading to climate change & causing havoc in the form of inadequate & uneven rainfall, change in weather patterns and extinction of various flora & fauna endemic to a region.

He pointed out that many species of fishes have also disappeared from the State and due to the change in climate the amount of migratory birds that flock to the State has gone down considerably.

He also emphasized on the importance of preserving the biodiversity of Loktak Lake and called for people's collective effort in this regard.

N Munal Meitei further appealed to all NGOs, civil societies & student organisations to take the forefront in conserving biodiversity.
