Situated on a tectonic fault #Noklak in Nagaland, along the Indo-Myanmar border is showing signs of land #subsidence akin to #Joshimath with 1/4th of the town claimed by a recurring #landslide which is over four decades old. @yield82 & I report. https://t.co/1FJ2soRUrq

Many tiger reserves in the country have large vacancies, and are heavily dependent on home guards and casual workers, who lack “wildlife management orientation” and are underpaid, @ntca_india’s evaluation reports show. Our story: https://t.co/Fi4BianmjA

When access to your brethren shuts down, what do you do?

The India-Myanmar border in Nagaland is the lifeline for Khiamniungan Nagas. From education to health facilities, FMR helped them mitigate challenges. But what now? Read the full story on our website to find out more.

LEH IS BEING TURNED INTO A WAR ZONE
with disproportionate force, barricades, smoke grenades.
Attempts to arrest peaceful youth leaders even singers continue. Seems they want to turn a most peaceful movement violent & then brand Ladakhis as anti-nationals.
Govt seems worried only about Ladakh's effects on their votes and on mining lobbies... not the people here nor even national security.

-As elections loom large, People for Himalaya's Demand Charter stands as a litmus test for political commitment to environmental stewardship. Failure to heed this clarion call risks relegating Himalayas to mere collateral damage in pursuit of progress. https://t.co/zbtYUEJe0A

21st Day OF MY #CLIMATEFAST
350 people slept in - 10 °C. 5000 people in the day here.
But still not a word from the government.
We need statesmen of integrity, farsightedness & wisdom in this country & not just shortsighted characterless politicians. And I very much hope that @narendramodi ji & @AmitShah ji will soon prove that they are statesmen...

‘The most dramatic case of an ethnic group seeking to refashion and reposition its culture in pursuit of tribal recognition and rights is that of the Meitei, Manipur’s dominant valley community’ in https://t.co/gPhzcy6aUj. Chapters by @th_robert & Edward Moon-Little for context

[Ram Wangkheirakpam @leipak]

It is as if 'we' didn't know this was coming! All along this complex and deadly mix of ethnic, domination, conservation, othering, demonizing aided by an un-mindful violent state has led its already communally fractured citizens to this yet again painful chapter of Manipur.
