Good to see invasives as main part of the report. Status of invasive plants in India is critical to start seeing forests more than its cover. Kudos to the team for reporting this work and providing restoration priority. 🥳

Deer are herbivores and classified as ruminants because of their rumen, which helps them digest tough plant matter like cellulose.
But if food is scarce or they lack minerals such as calcium and phosphorus, they may eat meat

On this #InternationalTigerDay let us remember to conserve ecosystems that tigers epitomize. Biological invasions are rapidly distorting these ecosystems and have threatened majority of tiger habitats. Ecological restoration is critical for sustaining tigers and their ecosystems
Coelacanth... is a fish.. from dinosaur era.. there are 2 living species present currently.. so it's living fossil..

If you haven't already, do read this report.
"Any such claims are immediately ridiculed, if not hushed up. It is incredibly hard under such circumstances, to stand up and be the one to make these claims."

There's a striking similarity in arguments used by right wing supporters which is based on 'what ifs'
what if this or that happens..and the imagination threatens majority over resources/rights/power which shouldn't be given up so easily to minorities. Fear of losing authority.
Chinkara fawn carcass seen yesterday in Desert National Park. Not jumping to conclusions about how it died. Obvious guess will be predation by feral #dogs. There were 3 Egyptian vultures also in the vicinity.

Saw this beautiful bengali movie 'Sonar pahar' on @NetflixIndia recently. Dont really get emotional while watching movies but I cried on few occasions for this one.
