People plants trees without knowing the surrounding ecosys (cuts local vegetation for planting neem and peepal in desert)
⬇️
Our media celebrate it
⬇️
encourage more people to do it
⬇️
Again they do planting in grasslands and desert.
And this cycle continues.

@ShivrattanDhil1@kbssidhu1961 Perhaps farming is the only profession in which there is no guarantee that investment would give you profit. Losses are permanent... sometimes they couldn't even get cost. Such are uncertainties in farming.
@Rajsthanweather Absolutely correct. Some people are connecting it with climate change but the fact is we are having such massive dust storms very less in no. now-a-days and this is essential for desert ecosystem.
Bhut saal baad kal jodhpur me kaali-peeli aandhi dekhi hain.
Here a mother elephant with twine, as seen in Corbett.
Twins in elephants are not just rare; they are a fascinating lesson in population dynamics.
In ecology, scientists often describe species using two reproductive strategies: r-selected and K-selected. These terms come from population growth equations.
“r” represents the intrinsic rate of population growth - how fast a species can multiply.
“K” represents the carrying capacity of an ecosystem - the maximum population that the environment can sustainably support.
Species that follow the r-strategy focus on rapid multiplication. They produce many offspring because survival chances are low. Think of insects, frogs or many fish. Their formula is simple: more babies = better chance that some survive.
Elephants belong to the opposite category; K-selected species. These animals live near the carrying capacity (K) of their habitat, so competition for resources is high. Instead of producing many young, they invest heavily in very few.
For elephants:
Pregnancy lasts nearly 22 months
Usually only one calf is born
Mothers and herds spend years protecting and raising that calf
Population growth is naturally slow
That is why twins in elephants are so extraordinary. In a species evolutionarily designed for “few offspring, high investment,” producing two calves at once is almost an exception to the rule.
In r-selected animals, twins or multiple young are common.
In elephants, even one calf is a major biological investment. Two together become a remarkable event in the story of life history and population dynamics.
@ForestRajasthan would you file any objection before this newspaper? Force them to print an advertisement spreading awareness about caracals, its habitats, identity, IUCN status etc and how they are not harmful for us and important for the biodiversity in the Thar.
Headline of a prominent hindi news paper in the region. Calling an animal notorious killer that is on the verge of extinction. Seriously @rpbreakingnews your job should be to spread awareness about this rare animal instead you are making sensational and objectionable headline.
Stray dogs slaughter wildlife in Churu, where packs of >50 dogs hunt nilgai/chinkara near the Gajsar Genani pond. The dogs chase animals into the water before eating them alive, with killings lasting hours, animals shrieking in agony. SHAMEFUL. REMOVE those dogs @moefcc@PMOIndia@byadavbjp@RAJCMO@RJDainikBhaskar@ForestRajasthan
RIP legendary singer #AshaBhosle
I grew up listening your melodious songs and they will always be in my playlists.
