Ever wondered how streams continue to flow, rivers keep receiving water, and wildlife survives even through the harshest summer months in landscapes where forests and wild animals depend on a steady supply of water ! The answer often lies in "Nature’s Sponge' the montane grasslands. Most people judge a landscape by the number of trees it has. But nature does not work that way. A forest is not healthier than a grassland simply because it has more trees. Every ecosystem has its own unique role. The montane grasslands of the Western Ghats are among nature’s greatest water engineers. Often called the 'Water Towers' of the landscape, these ancient grasslands capture mist, absorb rainfall like a sponge, and store vast quantities of water beneath the ground. They then release it slowly through the year, feeding streams, rivers and springs long after the monsoon has passed. This hidden natural reservoir sustains forests, supports unique wildlife like Nilgiri Tahr, replenishes groundwater and becomes a lifeline for people, agriculture and entire ecosystems during the dry season. The lesson is therefore simple, it is not about planting trees everywhere. It is about protecting every unique ecosystem #WorldEnvironmentDay 5th June 2025 #grasslands #climateaction #NowForClimate video @supriyasahuias

When actor Sayaji Shinde lost his mother, he made her a promise — to plant trees in her memory.

What began with 5,000 saplings grew into Sahyadri Devrai, a movement that has now nurtured over 6.5 lakh native trees across Maharashtra.

By restoring indigenous forests with banyan, peepal, tamarind and more, this initiative is reviving ecosystems, supporting wildlife, and proving that love can continue to grow long after loss.

High in the Himalayas, we witnessed one of nature’s most misunderstood creatures doing one of the planet’s most important jobs. 🦅⛰️

Himalayan Griffon Vultures may look intimidating, but they help keep ecosystems alive by cleaning up carcasses and preventing the spread of disease.

Once pushed to the brink of extinction in India, these silent scavengers are a reminder that every species has a role in keeping nature balanced.

Sometimes, the wild doesn’t just amaze you.
It changes the way you see the world. 💚

This spot near Tikri, Jammu on NH44 becomes so serene especially during rains!

As you look at the horrific pictures of the bombed Iranian school…

Pause for a minute and think..

Indian Air Force and the Army were given 2 and 7 terror targets respectively to hit on the night of May 6-7 in Op Sindoor…

Each was fully destroyed…

On the morning of May 8, the IAF carried out extensive air defence suppression using long-range kamikaze drones…

On May 9-10 the IAF targeted 14 PAF bases or radar stations/missile batteries…

Destructive evidence of almost all these strikes cane up in satellite pictures…

All strikes were carried out by precision munitions from long distances…

Not one missed aim or strayed to harm civilians… no school, no village or city, no hospitals. None…

This despite not having a fraction of the US military weapons, sensors or surveillance ability…

And in a furiously contested air space against near-peer PAF and its Chinese air defences…

Let’s give credit where due. To our armed forces in this case…

The famed, 450-500 years old( or even older), #Baulis of Chiryai Muttal which have been linked to the #Bhutyal kingdom of #Krimchi (not certain) r a perfect example of medieval water management practices. I hope @udhadm takes note of the mismanagement of this ancient site
