Can different freshwater ecosystems types be managed for higher provision of 'non-material' #Ecosystemservices? @sdlanghans provides cool insights on management options #sefs13 @UniofNewcastle

Could bees 🐝 hold the key to productivity and resilience in the #Mekong Delta?

Find out more in our recent #blog, which suggests that #Beekeeping and #OrganicFarming could be the answer.

How unfortunate!

[Srishti @seekingsrishti]

Important: Over 2200 scientists, teachers & educators have released a statement protesting NCERT's axing of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution from the NCERT curriculum.

They have urged India's government to reverse these "dangerous" changes in textbooks.

Feeling the heat in Mekong Delta🔥! Recent heatwaves have taken a toll on crop and livestock provision, driving the locals to explore less freshwater-demanding livelihoods. These shifts affect the local regulating and supporting #Ecosystemservices

Local communities in the #MekongDelta tell us about the benefits of growing #coconuts - a common crop. Orchard #ecosystems while providing key #EcosystemServices display synergies with several other ESs. Exciting insights ahead! 🌴🍉🌳 @livingdeltas

[Tarun Bisht @fluvialtarun]

Our team waits for the ferry as we head back into the Mekong delta for final fieldwork to understand locals' perceptions of #EcosystemServices supply in typical social ecological systems. Insights to inform sustainable management. #MekongDelta #SES #Sustainability"

@SaidurMRahman @GeogDurham @DNMDonoghue Congrats Saidur! When are the celebrations? 🙂

Leaving the cover of #Sundarbans, or as the locals describe it- 'A second mother' and travelling eastwards into the lands of the Padma/Meghna river system.
The difference with and without this Mangrove ecosystem is much more than just visual @livingdeltas

[Tarun Bisht @fluvialtarun]

Provision of #shrimp larvae by #tidalrivers is a large contributor to local livelihoods in S-SW Bangladesh. Alteration of #riverflows (in u/stream) can lead to disrupted life cycles and an eventual decline of this service.

@krishna_mangrov Prof Ray, thank you, would be very happy to get in touch, once I am in Kolkata.

[Tarun Bisht @fluvialtarun]

Leaving Delhi on the hottest day of this season (47degC) on a quest to understand #Ecosystemservices and it's flow to people of the #Sundarbans SESs of Bangladesh. Excited! 🌞😁

[Weatherman Navdeep Dahiya @navdeepdahiya55]

Sunday will turn out to be hottest day of the season so far.
Stations in #Delhi NCR are already above 39°c at 9:30AM.

Spent my Easter break returning to the cascading #himalayan streams after 8 long yrs, giving a little #stream #ecology initiation to my fellow trekkers, cliff diving and observing loads of #freshwater stream fauna
