Good to see invasives as main part of the report. Status of invasive plants in India is critical to start seeing forests more than its cover. Kudos to the team for reporting this work and providing restoration priority. 🥳

@hclnxt today will give a speed talk on effects of forest conversion on endemic bush frog demonstrating its impact on populations, habitat-use, and body condition @ 4 pm in room 5 @theATBC 2023 meeting.
Deer are herbivores and classified as ruminants because of their rumen, which helps them digest tough plant matter like cellulose.
But if food is scarce or they lack minerals such as calcium and phosphorus, they may eat meat

On this #InternationalTigerDay let us remember to conserve ecosystems that tigers epitomize. Biological invasions are rapidly distorting these ecosystems and have threatened majority of tiger habitats. Ecological restoration is critical for sustaining tigers and their ecosystems
Understanding the evolution and origins of grasslands is crucial for better present-day management. Grasslands expanded across most of the global tropics by around 4 million years ago, with increasing hot and dry environments in the tropics during that time.
Coelacanth... is a fish.. from dinosaur era.. there are 2 living species present currently.. so it's living fossil..
(*a word I remember as some weird lookin fish in any random conversation but not during exams..)
If you haven't already, do read this report.

There's a striking similarity in arguments used by right wing supporters which is based on 'what ifs'
what if this or that happens..and the imagination threatens majority over resources/rights/power which shouldn't be given up so easily to minorities. Fear of losing authority.

Our country needs a better waste management plan..
One that also covers ways of dealing with trash talkers on news channels harmful for the environment.

Humans bring dogs with them, when population increases, left to survive on their own, they create problems(hunting wildlife, attacking others), other humans feel sorry to see them suffer, to solve problem they feed them, population increases!
Problem increases or decreases??
