On this #EndangeredSpeciesDay, here is an underwater shot of a gorgeous #GoldenMahseer, '𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲' which has lived on (atleast, until this capture) in a hope to break itself free, someday (1/4) @CLPawards @MahseerTrust @fishmigration @WASIIND @Indian_Rivers

Though the title don't go well - it is a great thread to understand ecogeographical dynamics of Ganga River basin. Great work @tomaspueyo 👍

[Tomas Pueyo @tomaspueyo]

India just passed China as the most populous country in the world. Why?

Because of the biggest accident in history

Look at where people live in India. What's that band up north?

Rest in Peace, #Guru Mike😔

[Saurabh Dewan @dSaurabiography]

Shocked and Saddened to my core. You made #statistics a treat for several of us who feared it. As a friend, mentor, guru or grandpa - you inspired us and contributed so much to the work and ambitions of many wildlife biologists. You left a #void and you'll be always missed.

Will it be possible to deliver water straight to where it is needed? Read this interesting article on INREM's journey to find a solution

[Saurabh Dewan @dSaurabiography]

Very few #river stretches in #Uttarakhand still hold a sizeable population of #mahseers. Observable #decline of the species over the last few years is #concerning. #CatchandRelease data is contributing significantly to our current state of #knowledge.
