A lovely documentary on the world's first urban tigers thriving on the outskirts of the city of Bhopal in India. A tale of adaptation and coexistence. youtu.be/lxzMPtKtN3A

Nepal increased its forest cover from 26% to 45% in two and a half decades, but the success has translated into a limited win for biodiversity conservation, experts say. @arj272 reports: news.mongabay.com/2023/02/nepals…

It’s true—dolphins were spotted in the Bronx River this week! This is great news—it shows that the decades-long effort to restore the river as a healthy habitat is working. We believe these dolphins naturally found their way to the river in search of fish. (Video: Nick Banco)

This is the Bronx River the same year the EPA was founded, a place the city referred to as an "open sewer." This week, three dolphins were found eating fish in the river for the first time in decades. Yeah, environmental protection is actually a great thing.(Camilo Vergara, 1970)

It took more than 40 years and the country’s leaders to formally hand over large swaths of national forest land to local communities for their conservation. This map by @pabloroblesg shows just how much progress Nepal has made, according to a NASA-funded study.

Yes, there really are eels in the Bronx River! We help eels travel from the ocean to freshwater habitat upstream.

"Rarely is the expertise of field collaborators recognised in meaningful forms such as authorship in scientific publications." We ALL have a role in eradicating parachute science (elite scientists take the data & run) & cultivating *real* collaborative partnerships w/locals! 👇🏻

India’s 2022 Wetlands Change Atlas mapped over 230,000 wetlands, covering nearly 5% of the country’s geographical area. This op-ed on @MongabayIndia explores how this data can be used for wetland management and restoration. bit.ly/3yW6ckj

Human carelessness and lightning strikes start the wildfires. But climate change, land-use change, and poor forest management are allowing them to burn longer and hotter than ever before, according to UNEP. @MongabayIndia explains wildfires: bit.ly/3a4DHqT

Nature – such as forests, peatlands and mangroves – could contribute at least 30 percent of the carbon emissions reductions necessary to keep average global temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius, scientists have determined. ci-intl.org/3n0JQXY
