Another #Nipah outbreak. #Bats again in the line of fire. Let's recall that we've been sharing space w/ bats for centuries. Let's find out where the interface betn bats & humans was breached and come up with solid mitigation measures. Killing or culling bats won't solve problems

Migration season is on; Have you seen Wagtails yet?

India has 6 wagtail species; 1 resident, 5 migratory. Unfortunately, all migratory species show declining population trend & are classified as 'High' or 'Moderate' SoIB conservation category.

6:30 in the morning at the edge of a small village in central Italy

A man driving to work and a #wolf going about its predator business

For someone who was born when wolves were persecuted and near extinct in Italy…this is AMAZING!
And bringing so much hope for coexistence!

Cameras are helping us understand Nature better.
Yes. Herbivorous animals do eat snakes at times.

Three years ago #Amphan cyclone ravaged #Sundarbans and the habitat of mangrove horseshoe crabs. With support from @wti_org_india we worked to restore the habitat of mangrove horseshoe crab; the journey continues @vivek4wild @Noelmenon @SnehaaSun

Ultimate success of a wildlife campaign is the saving of lives of threatened species. @wti_org_india @Oracle @ForestKerala @aranya_kfd #whaleshark campaign yielding instant results. On the 15th & 21st Dec two individuals released from nets by fishermen of Trivandrum, #Kerala !

That’s a fat healthy Green Imperial Pigeon, apart from the fact that something took a large bite off the back of its neck and miraculously, it survived. All wild things cling to life and survival despite insane odds is the norm. Stay wild .. FIGHT #indiaves

On #WorldMangroveDay highlighting tremendous efforts by fisherfolks of Sundarbans towards improving health of mangrove habitat, rescue and release of several mangrove horseshoe crabs from ghost nets. Thank you @wti_org_india for the RAP grant @vivek4wild @Noelmenon @SnehaaSun

[Vivek Menon @vivek4wild]

Thank you for the outpouring of distress and condemnation of this incident. As I had said and @imti_toshi has too the culprits have been arrested. For those asking about whether this is for traditional use answer is no. This seems to be a random act of cruelty. @wti_org_india

[Raza Kazmi @RazaKazmi17]

Over the years we've been wowed by stunning photographs of wild tigers, especially from India. But have you ever wondered who took the first photograph of a tiger in the wild? When? Where?

Well, here it is. Shot in 1925. The photographer: An Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer.
