"The Standing committee of the National Board 'for' Wildlife approved denotification for 3 #sanctuaries including #GalatheaBay the Megapode WLS in #GreatNicobar even tho it does not have the statutory authority to de-notify #ProtectedAreas." An investigation by former #forest officer #PrakritiSrivastava & I for @Article14live into minutes of 58 meetings of the SC-NBWL+ RTI responses show that most approvals given by the SC-NBWL voilate laws, #SupremeCourt orders. @samar11 @betwasharma (IInd of a 2-part series) shorturl.at/VWnsO

'Naxal affected area to be transformed into a "green" steel hub'. The framing is simply unbelievable! And what on earth is green steel hub? Also, 1.23 lakh trees to be axed for this "green" project.

To erase #ProtectedAreas destroy over 138sq,km of prime #rainforest nesting sites of leatherback turtles-and home of several #endangered #endemic species, & to transform this beautiful, fragile land of ancient peoples to an economic, maritime & #tourism hub or a mini ‘Singapore’ is #ecocide. The project has disregarded, subverted #environment #forest #wildlife laws & the #ForestRightsAct . #Ecological concerns need to be truly above politics. But again, protecting #forests #wildlife is political. So, it is refreshing to see political leaders speak up & question its viability #GreatNicobar must be protected.

I travelled through Great Nicobar today. These are the most extraordinary forests I have ever seen in my life. Trees older than memory. Forests that took generations to grow. The people on this island are equally beautiful - both the adivasi communities and the settlers - but they are being robbed of what is rightfully theirs. The government calls what it is doing here a “Project.” What I have seen is not a project. It is millions of trees marked for the axe. It is 160 square kilometres of rainforest condemned to die. It is communities that have been ignored while their homes have been snatched away. This is not development. This is destruction dressed in development’s language. So I will say it plainly, and I will keep saying it: what is being done in Great Nicobar is one of the biggest scams and gravest crimes against this country’s natural and tribal heritage in our lifetime. It must be stopped. And it can be stopped - if Indians choose to see what I have seen.

This wasn’t an elephant “going rogue”. In places like Kerala, they’re used in temple festivals and pushed into conditions they were never built for. Chained for hours in packed grounds. Moved from event to event with little rest. Surrounded by loud drums, fireworks going off close by, and dense crowds. Constant noise, pressure and confinement with nowhere to go. Then when they reach breaking point, everyone acts like it came out of nowhere. But it doesn’t. It’s the result of sustained stress, repeated until something gives. End this cruelty now.

An elephant at a temple festival in the southern Indian state of Kerala turned violent, killing at least one person and damaging several vehicles

The difficulty is after years of distinguished service these gentlemen are dumped in some dog shelter. 👇 We adopted two of them a Golden Retriever and a Labrador Former @CISFHQrs dogs very gentle and very disciplined from a @FriendicoesSECA shelter. The CAPF’s and the other armed Forces must build proper retirement homes for the animals they use. They should not be sent to animal shelters.

Jaspreet Bindra : Homo Promptus
Ego fights between powerful men of their age has often decided how technologies are shaped : Jobs quarrelled with Gates, Edison had a bitter spat with Westinghouse, the Wright Brothers battled other flight claimants The @sama vs. @elonmusk cage-fight now on full display in the Courts of Oakland, California is no different. It will shape the AI industry too - mission vs. profit, public good vs. personal wealth. I write on this today in the @EconomicTimes times (link in the post below) @ArchanaMuthappa @anujmagazine @AIBeyondAI @prernabindra @indihazraET

The largest and most organic mass protest currently sweeping Uttar Pradesh is being led by women against smart prepaid electricity meters. The state power department, hell-bent on privatisation, now finds itself completely clueless on how to contain a situation that is rapidly spiraling out of control.

If only someone had warned you, right? For decades, environmentalists, forest/ grassland experts, citizens who mapped dying rivers, lakes and water bodies, climate journalists tried to tell us. But no. Kill mangroves, torch forests, mine the mountains. Now we're burning up.🔥

#AllIsWell. I wish. Actually, it isn't. Reports from the ground say otherwise. Locally #extinct in former ranges (#Maharashtra #MadhyaPradesh & almost so in #Gujarat (the odd chick or bird still makes the species functionally extinct). Entire habitats, even #sanctuaries shrunk, wiped out giving way to #renewables & other 'development' When did we last survey the #GreatIndianBustard? We have been parroting 100 birds for over 20 yrs? What do the nos say now? I fear it will reveal a chock. While we are at it, the other bird almost exterminated is the #LesserFlorican. #Birds #wildlife #conservation

Great Indian Bustard, the Godavan bird used to be a hallmark of our desert regions. However, at one point, its numbers had dwindled to a trickle: PM @narendramodi #MannKiBaat #PMonAkashvani #MKBOnAkashvani @byadavbjp@moefcc

WWF-Pakistan@WWFPak·
WWF-Pakistan expresses serious concern regarding ongoing and proposed development activities in areas adjoining Margalla Hills National Park, particularly within ecologically sensitive foothill zones. These activities raise significant risks for one of Islamabad’s most important ecological landscapes, including habitat fragmentation, disruption of wildlife movement corridors, and long-term degradation of ecosystem services. Given the ecological sensitivity of the Margalla Hills, WWF-Pakistan urges that all development activities follow strict environmental safeguards, transparent assessment processes, and science-based planning.

The Guwahati flood is not only a policy failure. It is the outcome of overpopulation, reckless concretisation, shrinking water bodies, blocked natural channels, poor drainage design, and a deep lack of understanding of water and ecology. #GuwahatiFlood #Assam #UrbanFlooding
