Coal Plant Threatens Mirzapur Sloth Bear Reserve

A big coal power plant is being built in a forest in Mirzapur, India, where sloth bears live.

These bears are very special and protected by law.

The forest is supposed to become a conservation area to protect them.

But the power plant company is building anyway, and the Supreme Court hasn't decided if this is allowed.

The bears need the forest to live, but the power plant could destroy their home.

The company says they are following the rules, but conservationists say the plant will hurt the bears and the environment.

The court case is delayed, and people are worried the bears' home will be damaged before a decision is made.
