Mr. Kumar Ankit @Kumar9Ankit talked about the ecology of leopards in the human-dominated landscape of Junnar Forest Division. The area is dominated by sugarcane and provides a suitable habitat for leopards. @moefcc, @wii_india, @wildwithwolves, @vrtiwari1, @bhlab_india, @ruchaghanekar, @MahaForest, @nrp_gowda, @paragnigam09

Dr. Bilal Habib, Scientist-F, WII delivered a thought-provoking session on Understanding Human-Wildlife Conflict Management: Issues, Challenges & Way Forward at MCT Phase-III (18).

He opened with a powerful call — wildlife managers must think outside the box and move beyond traditional conflict mitigation approaches. He categorised HWC across four dimensions: level of wildlife damage, level of conflict, response to conflict, and conservation consequence — offering a nuanced framework for IFS officers to assess and act.

In a refreshingly bold perspective, he challenged the notion that infrastructure like roads and expressways are purely negative for conservation. An expressway may clear trees, yet dramatically reduce fuel consumption, travel time & carbon footprint — urging us to see conservation through a wider, systems-level lens.

He also flagged that already-fragmented Protected Areas are a key driver of rising HWC — and crucially, HWC is not just about deaths or physical damage. At its core, it is a conflict of human perception — a psychological tussle between people and wildlife sharing shrinking spaces.

True coexistence begins in the mind!

This is the India we aspire to build—where modern infrastructure and wildlife conservation go hand in hand. A powerful vision of #ViksitBharat, where development connects people while keeping nature connected too. 🐘🇮🇳 @wii_india @moefcc @EnvironmentPib @ntca_india @IBCA_official @Unitedfortigers @bhlab_india @rameshpandeyifs @GobindsagarBha1 @SPYadavIFS @vrtiwari1 @NHAI_Official

Remembering the legacy of Dr. H.S. Panwar, former Director of Project Tiger (1981-85) and one of the architects of India's tiger conservation movement.

A pioneer of scientific wildlife management, his vision, leadership, and enduring contributions helped shape the course of tiger conservation in the country. He played a defining role in strengthening efforts to secure the future of tigers and their habitats.

His legacy continues to inspire and guide conservation efforts across India's tiger landscapes.

नीम की तरह दिखने वाला 'बकायन' जिसे चाइनाबेरी के नाम से भी कहा जाता है, प्रकृति का एक अनमोल उपहार है। त्वचा की बीमारियों के इलाज में इसकी पत्तियां, छाल और फल बेहद असरदार माने जाते हैं। बंजर और पथरीली जमीन पर भी आसानी से उगने वाले इस पेड़ की लकड़ी फर्नीचर बनाने के लिए बहुत मजबूत और टिकाऊ होती है।

भागलपुर की गंगा पर बीस साल बाद इंडियन स्कीमर लौट आया है।

यह कोई आम पक्षी नहीं है। यह वहीं रहता है जहाँ पानी साफ हो, बहाव सही हो और मछलियाँ भरपूर हों। जहाँ नदी बीमार है, यह वहाँ नहीं ठहरता।

बीस साल। दो दशक। एक पूरी पीढ़ी।

विक्रमशिला डॉल्फ़िन रिज़र्व में स्कीमर का लौटना सिर्फ एक संकेत नहीं, एक प्रमाण है। पानी की गुणवत्ता सुधर रही है। जैव विविधता वापस आ रही है। नदी का पारिस्थितिकी तंत्र फिर से संतुलन की ओर है।

गंगा सिर्फ एक नदी का नाम नहीं है। यह डॉल्फ़िन, मछली, पक्षी और किनारे बसे करोड़ों लोगों का साझा घर है। जब नदी ठीक होती है, तो जीवन अपने आप लौट आता है।

यह बस शुरुआत है।
