🐢 Celebrating #WorldTurtleDay — honoring Assam’s living tradition and the people who saved a species. At Nagshankar Temple, generations of care for temple ponds helped pull the black softshell turtle back from the brink. Eggs are now hatched and hatchlings released into the wild in @kaziranga_ and are swimming strong.
Salute to temple priests, local communities, forest staff, and conservationists who made this recovery possible.
Protecting culture protects wildlife.

Her name is Kuljeet Kaur Marhas.
She is a professor at the Planetary Science Division of the Physical Research Laboratory in Ahmedabad, one of India's most respected space science institutions, which works closely with ISRO.
On May 9 2026 she was elected Fellow of The Meteoritical Society, one of the most prestigious scientific bodies in the world dedicated to the study of meteorites, planetary materials and the origins of the Solar System. The society was founded in 1933. It has been electing Fellows for 93 years.
She is the first Indian woman in those 93 years to receive this honour.
She is only the third Indian scientist ever. The two before her were Devendra Lal and J.N. Goswami, both giants of Indian science.
Her work focuses on understanding how the Solar System was formed billions of years ago. She studies ancient extraterrestrial materials, tiny grains that existed before the Sun was born, fragments locked inside meteorites that fell to Earth carrying secrets from the earliest moments of our Solar System's existence.
Using advanced instruments including a technology called nanoSIMS, she reads isotopic signatures at the nanoscale, measurements so precise they can detect variations in matter that formed 4.6 billion years ago.
Most Indians will never hear her name.
She is quietly answering one of the oldest questions in science: where did we come from?
