*Conocarpus* - This is very harmful tree, we can see this tree everywhere in Jodhpur, roads, homes, hotels, everywhere.
This is very harmful tree for Humans as well as for Nature.
Botanists warns about the danger from Conocarpus to human health, especially in the context of respiratory illnesses. The plant pollinates twice a year, citing a rise in cases of cough, cold, asthma and respiratory disorders.
_This is pollination time of conocarpus and we can see sudden increase in new type disease - This will increase every few months._
It grows very fast, consuming all water and minerals, killing other locals plants. The local herbivores in the area are not able to subsist on conocarpus trees so they starve. This would result in the extermination of entire ecosystems. Plus, without a variety of species the risk from a single type of disease or parasite would ultimately result in the extermination of the system.
Already a few states such as Telangana, Gujarat, Andhra, Karnataka and Assam have already banned these trees, it's also banned in many countries.
We should request the authorities to completely remove all conocarpus trees from Rajasthan and ban it like other states & countries.
