You’re looking at 25 hectares of living green wonder. Planted in 2023 under the Tamil Nadu Green Mission, the mangroves of Kudikadu village in Cuddalore District now stand as a thriving bioshield along the coast. After clearing invasives like Prosopis juliflora and creating fish-bone tidal channels, 25,000 mangrove saplings were planted followed by another 20,000 in 2024-25 through linear and block planting. With over 90% survival, Rhizophora is flourishing while native Sonneratia apetala and Bruguiera gymnorhiza have been introduced successfully. These mangroves are stabilising riverbanks, helping fish nurseries supporting livelihood of local communities. Kudos to team Cuddalore led by the Conservator, DFO, Ranger and field staff 💪#TNForest #Climateaction #ecosystemrestoration #Mangroves #GreenTNMission

Many of us may never have seen a Madras Hedgehog, Striped Hyena, Lion-tailed Macaque, or Hump-headed Mahseer. Yet, these unseen and often forgotten species are critical sentinels of our biodiversity and ecology. Silent, elusive, and vanishing , they remind us of the fragile balance of nature. At TN Forest Department we have set up a dedicated Endangered Species Conservation Fund to protect them as announced by the Government of Tamil Nadu. This fund will restore habitats, enable vital scientific research, and bring local communities into the heart of conservation efforts.

As part of our ongoing Restored Glory series, we bring you another gem of Hyderabad’s heritage — the Saidani Ma Tomb, a son’s devotion immortalised in stone.

Commissioned by Nawab Abdul Haq Diler Jung in memory of his mother, Saidani Ma — a woman deeply respected in the Nizam’s court — this monument near Tank Bund beautifully blends love, history, and architecture.

With its intricate stucco, jali screens, and lime plaster detailing, the tomb reflects Hyderabad’s rich Indo-Islamic heritage. Conserved through the joint efforts of HMDA, Department of Heritage, and Aga Khan Trust for Culture, it continues to inspire generations.

This is NOT Humayun’s Tomb folks! This is what collapsed! NOT a done of Humayun’s Tomb as has been made viral!!

[Ratish Nanda @NandaRatish]

Humayun’s Tomb continues to stand proud. Last few hours, FAKE NEWS of collapse at the World Heritage Site has gone viral. In truth a modern building in the vicinity of New Horizon School collapsed in the heavy rains. Sadly, some lives are reported list. #Humayuntomb

India’s strength has always come from its people. This day reminds me how #resilience, #unity, and #ambition have shaped modern #India. On this Independence Day, I feel proud to see how far we have come and hopeful for the road ahead.
