@Masihi_Malabari @ArunKrishnan_ To quote: "Christian images are not considered to be the very body of the God we worship, nor do we offer oblations to them. " the only difference being that an idol does not require a sacrificial element to embody the Divine

Such wonderful news; dholes have returned to Kaziranga, with a pack recently documented in the landscape.

The way conservation efforts are helping such species bounce back is truly commendable. I hope the landscapes of Northeast India and the Dooars of West Bengal emerge as leading examples of sustainable tourism and wildlife conservation.

Bees are saving our world and how !
On this #WorldBeeDay, here are some astonishing truths about one of Earth’s most extraordinary life forms:

• Bees evolved millions of years ago alongside flowering plants
• Royal jelly transforms ordinary larvae into queen bee through epigenetic changes.
• Bee antennae detect invisible chemical signals used for communication and navigation.
• Bees can see ultraviolet floral patterns invisible to humans.
• Their hexagonal honeycombs remain masterpieces of natural engineering.
• India is home to remarkable native bees, Apis dorsata, Apis cerana indica, Apis florea and stingless bees.
• Nearly 75% of global food crop types depend partly on pollinators like bees.

Perhaps bees teach us life’s greatest lesson: the smallest beings often carry the greatest responsibility on their tiny wings ❤️

Do you know there are now just around 150 great Indian bustards remaining in the wild.

Meanwhile, against the odds, hope is taking shape in the deserts of Jaisalmer.

The conservation breeding programme for the critically endangered Great Indian Bustard has now crossed an important milestone, with the captive population reaching 86 birds.

Remarkably, recent chicks have been produced through artificial insemination: a major scientific breakthrough in India’s wildlife conservation efforts.

From protected breeding enclosures to preparations for future rewilding in the Thar, this is conservation science working against time.

And perhaps one of India’s most important species recovery stories unfolding right now.

The Nilgiri Marten is one of nature’s happiest little secrets, with tiny feet, golden-yellow and chocolate fur, and playful agility leaping through the shola forests like a spark of joy. Found nowhere else on earth except the Western Ghats, this rare endemic beauty brings the spotlight on the precious and irreplaceable mountain ecosystems #wildwednesday #Nilgirimarten #endangered #wildlife incredible capture by

Destination weddings as well as foreign travel offer far better value for money than traveling in India or holding events in India.

Indian companies running hotels and airlines fleece customers, offer third rate service at sky high prices - other countries have better products and services because their business and credit ecosystems empower their entrepreneurs to deliver such products and services.

Let us not guilt trip Indians who deserve to spend their hard earned, tax paid money with the best ROI. Self flagellation is not a growth strategy.

This 150-year-old Vav is still alive. And the proof we uncovered today will leave you speechless.

When our team stepped into the darkness for Phase 3, we expected to find buried history. But what we captured on camera changes everything.

How many of us realise that above our heads exists an ancient living superhighway older than human memory ?

Let that sink in

Every year, the Bar-headed Goose flies from Central Asia to Tamil Nadu across the Himalayas at altitudes above 7,000 metres through air too thin for most living beings to survive.

Often called the “Ballerina of the Skies”, the rare sighting of the Demoiselle Crane arriving from the Eurasian steppes at the Nemmeli Salt Pans in Tamil Nadu marked an important migratory record this year.

Along the same Central Asian Flyway, Osprey return from Europe and coastal Asia, while Montagu’s Harrier travel from Russia and Kazakhstan to South India.

The transcontinental, nonstop journey of three satellite-tagged Amur Falcon, Apapang, Alang and Ahu has filled us with wonder and awe.

No borders. No maps. Yet they return to the same water bodies, grasslands and coasts with astonishing precision every season

On this World Migratory Bird Day, these journeys remind us why protecting migratory habitats matters
