Honorable @PMOIndia Gujarat's iconic Asiatic lions are facing a severe crisis with rising deaths due to Babesiosis/CDV.MP's Kanha team (CWLW Sameeta Rajora, Field Director RM Tripathi & Dr. Agrawal) successfully contained CDV through 24/7 dedication. Requesting Gujarat Govt to coordinate with them urgently to save our pride. 🙏🐾

Confrontation between titans.

There is no comparison between elephant and rhino sizes. But a threatened rhino does charge the elephant sometimes. Especially if they are with calf. Otherwise nobody messes with an elephant in wild. Random pic taken during field visit.

The tragic loss of Gir lions is a direct result of stubborn regional politics! 🛑While Asiatic lions die in Gujarat, the govt is illegally planning to shift Cheetahs to Banni instead of saving our lions.
COMPLY with the 2013 Supreme Court order NOW—move Gir lions to Kuno MP before it’s too late.Wildlife is the NATION'S pride, not one state's monopoly! 🇮🇳🐾
Stop shifting tigers and cheetahs to Gujarat until Gujarat sends lions to Madhya Pradesh. Unfortunately,none of the politicians in Madhya Pradesh dare to demand lions from them

The violent mob attack on forest staff in Bandhavgarh is intolerable! Govt must arrest the accused immediately.
Kudos to Field Director Dr. Anupam Sahay & team for showing exemplary courage under life-threatening conditions. Bandhavgarh's high tiger density needs a multi-department solution to end human-wildlife conflict.Madhya Pradesh government should immediately construct permanent houses under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana in elephant and tiger-affected areas.

Show this to your children. They deserve to know that there once existed magical forests lit by fireflies, purple frogs that emerged with the rains, slender lorises watching silently from the night canopy, vultures circling wild skies, dugongs grazing seagrass meadows, striped hyenas walking forgotten scrublands, turtles blessing our shores, Raptors soaring high, Amur Falcons crossing oceans without rest for days, and Nilgiri Tahrs ruling mountain escarpments like a kingdom above the clouds.

Perhaps we are the last generation to witness many of these wonders in the wild. The Earth is losing biodiversity at a pace never seen before and with every disappearance, something ancient, irreplaceable and deeply alive fades away forever.

Biodiversity is Earth’s heartbeat. The moment it begins to fade, the planet will slowly forget how to breathe.

If we want a future, we must help the Earth breathe again. We already know what to do. Let’s do it. Protect. Conserve. Cherish.

Happy #BiodiversityDay @UNBiodiversity #LocalAction #KMGBF #IDB2026 #ForNature

Bravo Team Cuddalore !
What was once a plastic-choked and garbage-filled canal has bounced back in full force. An inspiring transformation in the village of Pichavaram under Tamil Nadu’s Climate Resilient Village initiative. We have rejuvenated 3 kms of the clogged village canal by removing 750 Kgs of plastic, invasives like prosopis and strengthened the embankment to restore natural water flow in Picchavaram back waters. Along its banks, 3,000 mangroves have been planted with 600 local Community members participating, thereby recreating a thriving ecosystem and strengthening coastal resilience. This remarkable effort was led by the Director of Environment Thiru Rahul Nadh, the District Collector Cuddalore Thiru Sibi Adhithya along with their committed team. Great efforts by CF Thiru Periasamy, DFO Thiru Gurusamy and Ranger Thiru Iqbal in planting mangroves for ecological restoration.

Following my complaint, the PCCF (HoFF) MP has ordered an immediate inquiry into the suspicious death of the satellite-collared tiger relocated from Kanha to Nauradehi ( Durgavati TR).Investigation report sought within 3 days
