So proud of our guys... All their hard work getting supported and recognised by @SanctuaryAsia

After years of horrifying ideas like building a "film city" there... Karnataka has finally declared Hessarghatta a conservation reserve!!! With some nudging by the Hon. courts and the State Wildlife Board, that WASI is part of.

Awesome opportunity to take the story of River Ecosystem Conservation and the role of the Humpback Mahseer as a flagship species, to over a 1000 children. Thanks to @azimpremjiuniv and their #Riversforlife programme for facilitating the same.

@SalmaFahimIAS It was great to have you visit our field station m'am. Look forward to your continued support and inputs in the space of Masheer conservation.

WASI fondly remembers Bola, who passed away yesterday due to a cardiac arrest.

He was an invaluable part of WASI for 3 decades from the 70's. His contribution to Mahseer conservation, antipoaching and his amazing field work will never be forgotten.
May his soul rest in peace.

Caiman are known to be invasive. But are they a problem in the Cauvery river system? Or are we running the risk of allowing anecdotal reports to wrongfully implicate yet another native species?

[Wildlife Assn. of South India @WASIIND]

Earlier, we clarified that the jellyfish (L. Indica) occurring in the Cauvery are native and not an exotic invasive.

Invasive species are problematic but anecdotal reports of invasives are equally problematic.

Keep a lookout for tomorrow's myth buster from the Cauvery.
