Major Wildlife trafficking bust in Mumbai: In a joint raid on 8 Aug at Masjid Bandar, Mumbai, WCCB (WR) and @MahaForest rescued 191 endangered and rare animals, including tortoises, turtles and birds. Say no to wild pets! Say no to Wildlife products! @moefcc @DGPMaharashtra

A new born elephant calf got separated from mother in Kaziranga, Assam. The calf was rescued and applied mother’s dung to suppress human smell.
Finally the mother accepted the rescued calf and took away in jungle.

A heartwarming moment at the end.

This made me cry inside the Briefing Room of National Media Centre, New Delhi. As a victim of Islamist terror sponsored by Pakistan in Kashmir myself, there is only so much one can control emotions. Rememberour 26 civilians who we lost in Pahalgam. Never forget. Never forgive. 💔

Human-elephant conflict is on the increase in northern Cameroon. The headline puts the blame on climate change, but when there's encroachment along elephant migration routes, conflict is often the result. Improved land-use planning is the solution.

Another #Nipah outbreak. #Bats again in the line of fire. Let's recall that we've been sharing space w/ bats for centuries. Let's find out where the interface betn bats & humans was breached and come up with solid mitigation measures. Killing or culling bats won't solve problems

American police crushed Indian student with a car, the culprit of her death roamed free and made fun of her.

Every day I am in awe of international students. Doing a PhD in your native language and home country is hard. Doing it in a non-native language, in a different country and different culture is so much harder. You are not stupid. You are legends.
