The Assam elephants are babies. They need to be in the wild, not trapped among humans who have the gall to call them family. Humans, elephants are not your family. They have their own family - IN THE WILD.

This was inevitable
Glaciers in Nepal, stuck between two major carbon emitters - India and China, melted 65% faster in the last decade than in the previous one
So no surprise all this melting is causing massive landslides
This is called progress economic growth development
असम के लिए प्रार्थना
असम की भीषण बाढ़ ने दिल दहला दिया है चारों ओर तबाही का मंजर जो देखकर हर एक के आंख में आंसू आ जाएगा
भगवान, सभी की रक्षा करें और जल्द राहत दें 🙏
🇫🇷🐄 Nine cows died of thirst in the Ardennes region of France after the valve supplying their automatic drinking trough was deliberately shut off,according to the initial investigation.
The cattle were found completely dehydrated and are believed to have died from hyperthermia (overheating).
Several other animals from the 400-head herd remain in critical condition and are still being treated by a veterinarian.
This wasn't an accident,it was needless cruelty. Hoping those responsible are held accountable and the remaining animals recover.

Scotland has just done something quietly brilliant for its birds 🐦
New buildings across the country will now have to include "swift bricks", hollow bricks built straight into the walls that give birds a safe place to nest.
It sounds like a small thing but it isn't. Swift numbers in the UK have fallen by around 60% since the mid-1990s, and one of the biggest reasons is heartbreakingly simple: modern buildings have nowhere for them to go. Swifts have always nested in the nooks and gaps of our houses, and as those disappeared, so did they.
The birds themselves make it worse by being loyal to a fault. Swifts return to the exact same nest site year after year, having flown thousands of miles from Africa to get there.
When they arrive to find it sealed up, some will keep flying at the spot again and again, sometimes injuring themselves in the process.
The bricks cost about £30 each. They need no maintenance, they don't affect insulation, and once they're in the wall, you'd never know they were there. Sparrows, starlings and house martins use them too, all species in trouble for the same reason.
One RSPB conservationist put it starkly. In his part of Glasgow, not a single swift bred in 2025, the first time in his 30 years there. He called it "nothing short of heartbreaking."
Scotland is the first country in the UK to write this into law. Campaigners are now hoping the rest follows.
Even the planet's most resilient desert survivors have started succumbing to extreme heat. Experts say it’s like nothing we’ve ever seen.
For centuries, camels have been celebrated as the ultimate 'ships of the desert,' renowned for their ability to thrive in arid environments too harsh for almost any other livestock. However, an escalating climate crisis in North Africa and the Horn of Africa is pushing these evolutionary marvels past their biological limits.
In regions like Ethiopia's scorching Afar desert, where summer temperatures frequently exceed 50°C (122°F), herders are witnessing unprecedented levels of suffering among their herds. Ali Umer, a veteran local camel herder, recently reported losing eight calves in a single month to the unrelenting heat.
He described a horrifying reality where the animals suffer from blistered feet and watery eyes, and the sand itself becomes so intensely hot that it burns their skin and singes their hair as they rest.
This crisis is not an isolated tragedy; it represents a systemic threat to the ecological and economic stability of communities that rely on camels for transport, milk, and meat. North and East Africa are home to approximately 80% of the world's dromedary camel population, and as traditional grazing areas dry up, pastoralist families are facing catastrophic losses.
Scientists and animal welfare experts warn that prolonged temperatures above the camels' comfort threshold compromise their immune systems, leaving them highly vulnerable to dehydration, disease, and death. With even the hardiest desert species struggling to survive, researchers are urging immediate interventions, such as strategic water distribution and emergency veterinary care, to prevent a total collapse of the region's agricultural backbone.

🇮🇳 India is home to nearly 75% of the world’s wild tigers—a global conservation success. From 1,411 tigers in 2006 to 3,682 in 2022, science, protected habitats, strong laws, and communities prove that when conservation continues, nature responds. 🐅🌿
Something changed when Swiss farmers stopped fighting pests with more chemicals and started planting flowers instead.
Researchers found that wildflower strips sown through winter wheat fields cut cereal leaf beetle numbers by up to 53%.
Crop damage dropped by 61% because the flowers gave natural predators like parasitic wasps and hoverflies a place to live and hunt on. The idea is refreshingly simple.
Give nature's pest controllers a home and they take care of the rest.
The UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology has now planted similar strips across 15 farms in England to test whether the results hold outside Switzerland.
Early signs suggest these flower corridors help insects reach the center of large fields, not just the edges. It is a small change with a big promise for farmers hoping to grow food without leaning so hard on pesticides.

BAM! Colombia has announced a historic ban on all new oil and large-scale mining projects in its part of the Amazon Rainforest, protecting an area roughly the size of Sweden. 🌿
Experts say the move could help protect one of the planet’s most important ecosystems—often called the “lungs of the Earth.” 🌎🌳
Nature is amazing. Protect it.

Common people in Uttarakhand are protesting against the cutting of 3,000 trees for the development of a 4-lane highway between Bhaniyawala and Rishikesh.
BJP double-engine government is working hard to destroy Devbhoomi.
. @SkyNews yesterday commenting that the heatwave seems to have caught everyone by surprise. Yes, because of your multi decade failure to tell the public the full truth about the crisis we are in.
Dear Humanity, #ClimateChange threatens our existence.
If we don't act soon there'll be catastrophic biodiversity loss & untold amounts of human misery.
Time's running out.
Yours,
15,000 concerned scientists
Act, before action is no longer possible. #ClimateCrisis
Europe’s heat ridge is now spilling into the sea.
Coastal waters of the Atlantic and Mediterranean are locally running more than 6°C above climatological normals, raising fears of another damaging marine heatwave event.
The ocean is loading the dice. 🔥🌊
@LeoDiCaprio@ImmunoScape Congratulations on your wise investment in such pre-clinical biotechnology companies with focused oncology breakthroughs! Been waiting to hear from you on climate action, really! it seems the positive influencers have gone quiet in the past 1.5 years ..
Extreme weather is intensifying, and its impacts fall hardest on those with the least protection.
☂️ Reducing climate risks at scale demands both stronger adaptation and faster emission reductions.
