Happy to share a recently published paper
Imposing connectivity: Privileging an elephant corridor over ecotourism in the Sigur Plateau, South India, which examines how the discursive power of an elephant corridor was used to territorialise a landscape. (https://t.co/dtqYcEN5Wc)

New #Openaccess paper

Capturing Land for Elephant Corridors in South India through the Conservation-Agrarian Squeeze (https://t.co/QulcDDyt68)

which argues that factors in conservation and agrarian landscapes squeeze farmers, enabling land acquisition for conservation.

🧵
The 2023 @ForestSurvey (FSI) registers a marginal increase in #India’s #forest cover by 156 km², a deceitful inflation that hides an inconvenient truth of colossal loss of natural #forests as an analysis by #PrakritiSrivastava @krithika_1193 & myself shows. Besides, the @ForestSurvey report #ISFR2023 has disregarded #SupremeCourt orders.

Conservation sees itself as a crisis discipline. An unquestioning allegiance and support to ongoing solutions often seems more urgent than a critical framing and understanding of problems. Yet, such a critical view is vital for a thoughtful and creative practise of conservation.

Ukraine has been known as Europe’s breadbasket for centuries. Now that Russia has invaded the country, food insecurity could be exacerbated in the many developing countries that depend on Ukraine for their sustenance, writes @alexjmssmith.

Brilliantly researched article by @sciencebwoy is a must read for those who want to understand why calls by the Global North to move towards plant-based diets are not just based on flawed data but also ignorance of food security in the Global South.

4/4. How can the very media whose owners directly profit from the farm laws, and/or from the advertising power of those whose names the farmers are chanting, ever tell you the truth about those laws or much else?

[Ananda Siddhartha @ananda_sid]

So important in today's age of instant media. Unfortunately, today "get it right" is often trumped (pun intended) by "get it first"
