Meet the Greater Adjutant storks of Guwahati’s garbage dump. The Hargila - Assamese for bone-swallower — were persecuted on the basis of superstition but made a comeback thanks to conservation initiatives by @StorkSister

We have been using software from @AmuseLabs to create these games, and they’re just wonderful to work with — simple, user-friendly, and intuitive

CrossBird is our bird-themed crossword. Have a go. The clues should get you thinking

And finally, there’s Birble. This is like Wordle for birds, but not always 5 letters

Haven’t been here in donkey’s years. Just dusting the furniture. May not stay.

@nimsaw @bainjal Thanks for the link, Nimish. I’m aware of the book.

[Beej 🇮🇳🌳🦩🐘🎸 @bijoyv]

@nimsaw Would you recommend any authoritative reading material on this, Nimish?

#panjimchronicles in the ongoing cheap, shoddy + vulgar tarting up of Goa for G20, the latest outrage in Miramar is this hideous giant plastic fish, backed by plastic flags, accompanied by third-rate, grammatically incorrect signs on plastic that end with STOP PLASTIC POLLUTION

Props to a chat with @amoghavarshajs last month. International schools that have horse riding on their curriculum clearly have big plans for the future. What with Bangalore’s famed stud farms galloping into the sunset and traffic needing that great big leap. #nuffsaid

If you wondered why the learned illuminati at #NCERT did away with the periodic table…

The United States shows the way in how #wetlands can be destroyed through a narrow interpretation of environmental regulations. An ominous template that upholds individual rights over collective good

Thanks @citizenmatters @meerak @bhanu_sridharan for providing a platform for discussing the transparency of information from the authorities that manage our lakes, an important topic that mainstream media often ignores.
