ইসলামাবাদ, 1 অগাস্ট : কুলভূষণ যাদবকে কনসুলার অ্যাকসেস দিল পাকিস্তান । আন্তর্জাতিক ন্যায় আদালতের নির্দেশের পর আজ এই কথা জানিয়েছে পাকিস্তান ৷ পাকিস্তান সরকারের তরফে জানানো হয়েছে, কাল কুলভূষণের সঙ্গে সাক্ষাৎ করতে পারবেন ভারতীয় প্রতিনিধিরা ৷ তবে ভারতের তরফে কুলভূষণের সঙ্গে কারা সাক্ষাৎ করতে যাবেন তা এখনও জানা যায়নি ৷

কুলভূষণ যাদবকে কনসুলার অ্যাকসেস না দেওয়ায় ভিয়েনা কনভেনশন লঙ্ঘন করার অভিযোগ এনে ICJ (আন্তর্জাতিক ন্যায় আদালত)-র দ্বারস্থ হয়েছিল ভারত । 17 জুলাই ভারতের পক্ষে রায় দেয় ICJ । ভারতের দাবি মেনে নিয়ে কুলভূষণকে কনসুলার অ্যাকসেস দিতে বলা হয় পাকিস্তানকে ।

এই নির্দেশের জেরে আন্তর্জাতিক স্তরে ধাক্কা খায় ইমরান খান প্রশাসন । এরপরই পাকিস্তানের বিদেশ মন্ত্রকের তরফে জানানো হয়েছিল, ICJ-র সিদ্ধান্ত মেনে, ভিয়েনা কনভেনশনের 36 ধারা, অনুচ্ছেদ 1 (B)-র অধিকার সম্পর্কে কুলভূষণকে জানানো হয়েছে । একটি দায়িত্ববান দেশ হিসেবে পাকিস্তান কুলভূষণকে কনসুলার অ্যাকসেস প্রদান করবে ।

তাছাড়া ICJ জানিয়ে দেয়, কুলভূষণ যাদবকে এখনই ফাঁসি দিতে পারবে না ইসলামাবাদ । পাকিস্তানের সামরিক আদালতের রায় পুনর্বিবেচনা করার জন্য ইমরান খান প্রশাসনকে নির্দেশ দিয়েছিল আদালত ।

ভারতের পক্ষ থেকে বিদেশ মন্ত্রকের মুখপাত্র রবীশ কুমার এই বিষয়ে সাংবাদিকদের বলেন, "পাকিস্তানের থেকে আমরা কনসুলার অ্যকসেস সংক্রান্ত প্রস্তাব পেয়েছি । আমরা সব দিক খতিয়ে দেখছি । আমরা কূটনৈতিক পর্যায় পাকিস্তানের সঙ্গে যোগাযোগ রাখছি ।"

"I think historically they have had a really bad wrap, but I think the more we learn about them we're finding out how important they are, and how many eco-system services they provide."

"So they're taking in all that sunlight, converting it to energy, growing leaves and, yeah, that carbon's staying within the system. So it's falling from the tree, onto the ground, getting buried, and then that carbon stays in the mud."
9. Wide move of roots of mangrove tree
10. Above pan of mangrove roots in mud
11. SOUNDBITE (English) Madeline Goddard, Mangrove researcher at Charles Darwin University:
"So they can keep up with low levels of sea level rise, but can they keep up with our really dramatic projected (levels) ?"

14. Wide drone of mangrove tree tops

16. Mid of mangrove roots near open water
17. SOUNDBITE (English) Jason Fowler, Australian Marine Conservation Society:
+++ START OF SOUNDBITE OVERLAID BY PREVIOUS SHOT +++
"The mangroves are slowly getting drowned because the sediments accumulating slower than what the sea levels are rising so the mangroves will literally run out of mud and slowly get flooded and drown out."

+++ END OF SOUNDBITE OVERLAID BY FOLLOWING SHOT +++
"But what's really critical is that they can also move landward, so as you get elevated sea level rise you get increased flooding times, so the area behind the mangroves is potential for them to move into."

LEAD IN:
Scientists in Australia are warning that the mangrove forests in the country's tropical north are starting to disappear because of climate change.
Mangrove forests store more carbon than rainforests, and reseachers fear that if current trends continue, the mangrove trees will drown.
STORYLINE:
Swampy, muddy, and full of mosquitoes: it's easy to understand why mangrove forests don't receive as many visitors as rainforests.
But for Charles Darwin University mangrove researcher Madeline Goddard, ecosystems like this one near Darwin in northern Australia are vital to the planet's survival.
"I think historically they have had a really bad wrap," she concedes.
"But I think the more we learn about them we're finding out how important they are, and how many ecosystem services they provide."
As well as offering a habitat for marine life, mangroves forests store carbon.
"So they're taking in all that sunlight, converting it to energy, growing leaves and, yeah, that carbon's staying within the system. So it's falling from the tree, onto the ground, getting buried, and then that carbon stays in the mud," says Goddard.
As the global climate changes and the polar ice caps melt, sea levels around the world are projected to rise.
In her research, Madeline Goddard has discovered that many tropical mangroves could drown by the end of the century if they do not adapt.
"They can keep up with low levels of sea level rise but can they keep up with our really dramatic projected?" she wonders.

In 2016 almost 10,000 hectares of mangrove forest died out in northern Australia.
Scientists say climate change is to blame.
Conservation groups are warning that sea levels are rising at twice the rate in northern Australia than in other parts of the world.
"The mangroves are slowly getting drowned because the sediments are accumulating slower than what the sea-level is rising so the mangroves will literally run out of mud and slowly get flooded and drown out," says Jason Fowler of the Australian Marine Conservation Society.
These mangroves exist in one of the harshest environments for life on earth.
On top of a very hot, tropical climate, the trees here must contend with being intermittently covered in very salty seawater.
Experts are advising authorities to protect nearby land, so the mangrove forests can expand inland if necessary.
"What's really critical is that they can also move landward, as you get elevated sea level rise you get increased flooding times, so the area behind the mangroves is potential for them to move into," says Goddard.
It's just one of many coastal environments around the world under threat from climate change.
