"If you feel that you just can't write, or you're too tired, or this, that, and the other, just stop thinking about it, and go and work. Life doesn't have to be so overthought. You don't have to wait to be inspired. Just start working." — Joyce Carol Oates (@JoyceCarolOates)
A heartening moment from Hollongapar 🐒
A year after installing the arboreal canopy bridge, a Hoolock Gibbon is now using it to safely cross the railway track.
A small but significant example that shows how science led interventions can make a real difference in conservation.

How life begins.
At the Rushikulya river mouth in Ganjam, Olive Ridley sea turtle hatchlings have begun their remarkable journey to the sea. One of nature’s most heartwarming spectacles.
After nearly 45 days of incubation, thousands of tiny hatchlings are now emerging from the sand and instinctively racing towards the Bay of Bengal. This season alone lakhs of eggs were laid along the coast, turning the beaches into a crucial nursery for the species.
The phenomenon called Arribada; a rare mass nesting event where thousands of female Olive Ridleys come ashore simultaneously to lay eggs. The word “Arribada” comes from Spanish, meaning “arrival by sea.” L
Female turtles often return to the same coastline where they were born, digging nests in the sand and laying around 80–120 eggs each. Despite overwhelming odds from predators, tides and human disturbances, these tiny hatchlings begin their perilous march to the ocean, a journey guided by natural light and instinct refined over millions of years of evolution.
Scenes like these are a powerful reminder of how we share this planet with so many other species. (VC Odisha FD)
IPS officer B. Sumathi stood alone at a Hyderabad bus stop past midnight to test how safe the city really is for women.
In just 3 hours, nearly 40 men approached her.
But what stood out was this: The men weren’t just detained — they were sent for mandatory counselling too.
From Hyderabad’s undercover operations to Delhi’s Shishtachar squads and Kerala’s Pink Patrol teams, cities are rethinking women’s safety.
Should every city adopt such measures?

I was recently wondering why it is so rare to spot a vulture these days, when growing up it was a common sight. What shocked me was learning that b/w 1992 & 2007, India’s vulture population crashed by 99.9%, the fastest decline of any bird species in history.
The killer was not a predator/a virus. It was Diclofenac, a common painkiller given to cattle. When vultures ate the carcasses of treated cows, their kidneys failed instantly.
As of Jan 2026, the Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) has officially begun the soft release of captive-bred vultures in Assam & Maharashtra. We are currently watching the 1st satellite-tagged generations return to the wild to see if the environment is finally safe again.

CBSE tells schools to establish Sugar Boards to monitor and reduce sugar. This is a step in the right direction. Thanks @foodpharmer2 for sharing.
Now to figure out how to get parents to care about it. How to reduce sodas, coffee/tea (majority of it is mostly sugar), malted drinks, chocolates (again mostly sugar), sweets, etc.
Thank you now, in future and forever to the men & women of our security forces.
And to your families.
No matter how many times we say this, it won’t be enough. 🇮🇳🙏🏽
@Nithin0dha One practice which I follow is
"Never say Hello first after picking up the call"
Most bot calls will not proceed only.
After 10s silence, disconnect.
Nothing which is extremely important will start from a Bot call
i booked rapido economy and got a premium car(the driver has put economy type from his end to get more rides)
he asked me to pay extra as his car is premium, i denied and told him to cancel so hit me with the classic:
Mitigation measures go beyond simply providing passageways for animals to cross; they also encompass critical considerations like the impact of illumination on wildlife crossing structures. Proper lighting not only enhances vehicle safety but also ensures that wildlife can use these crossings effectively.@wii_india has produced first report examining the role of directional lighting on wildlife crossing structures, emphasizing the need for science-based approaches to balance safety and ecological sensitivity. @moefcc@NHAI_Official@RailMinIndia@vrtiwari1@wildwithwolves@bhlab_india@AnukulNath4@IBCA_official@ntca_india@SPYadavIFS@rameshpandeyifs@Largelandscapes
