Refer to, “The State governments that are mainly responsible for Western Ghats — Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Goa and Maharashtra — must go back to drawing table with reports of both Gadgil Committee and Kasturirangan Committee, which was set up to examine WGEEP report. The task before m is to initiate correctives to environmental policy decisions.”

Refer to, “This is not going to be easy, given need to balance human development pressures with stronger protection of Western Ghats ecology.”
It is very much clear from above lines that objective of sustainable development is very difficult to meet with political considerations in mind and that is why it becomes very difficult to strike a balance between political objectives and environmental requirements of Western Ghats Area.
