For most of us, the forest is an escape from the city – a place to unwind amid the lush greenery, breathe fresh air, go on a safari and capture the wondrous animals with a camera. But for some, it is home. A land that carries their past, sustains their present and shapes their future. This World Forest Day, take a moment to listen to the voices of the Baigas.

Predatory journals are on the rise, luring scholars with promises of quick publication but offering little to no peer review or credibility. Publishing in these outlets can damage your reputation, waste your hard work and mislead the scientific community. Check out the article by Seshadri K. S., Faculty at ATREE, on how to avoid the trap of predatory journals via the link. deccanherald.com/education/avoi…

Invasive mesquite trees and free-ranging dogs are reshaping the fragile balance of the Thar Desert’s predators. A new study shows how desert foxes, Indian foxes, jackals, and jungle cats are being forced to adapt or disappear as grasslands give way to woody invasives and dog dominance.

The Himalaya – where majestic rivers originate and flow without borders, where ancient wisdom breathes and where people live deeply connected to nature – is facing a fragile future. What happens here affects all of us. To address challenges, such as biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation, and promote livelihoods that support a sustainable future, ATREE in partnership with RIST is working across three landscapes – Khangchendzonga (Sikkim and Darjeeling Hills), Arunachal Pradesh, and the Trans-Himalaya (Ladakh). youtu.be/ltfzaWqfqFY @royalenfield @globalconservation @conservationorg @mastercardindia @the_ristrust @mountainsmangroves @ATREE_thi @atreearunachal @atree_academy @_icimod

Hydrological hysteresis describes how a landscape’s response to rainfall depends on the current volume of rainfall as well as on past events. A catchment that has already absorbed weeks of monsoon rain will behave differently from a parched one, even if both receive the same amount of rain today.
