Which degraded ecosystems are most in need of restoration as we implement the Global #Biodiversity Framework? By identifying which #ecosystems are close to collapse, IUCN's Red List of Ecosystems is a key tool to guide action. bit.ly/3VGzxsC

Whenever some unpalatable truth penetrates the controlled media-bubble, this hobby-horse of One Nation One Election is trotted out as a diversion. Sharing my old article where I’ve highlighted how undemocratic & unconstitutional this proposition is. bit.ly/1nation1poll

Senna spectabilis, an invasive plant has been creating havoc in Mudumalai. It does not allow native species to grow. In an innovative excercise #TNForest has started a massive excercise to remove these in partnership with TN Newsprint & paper Ltd which is using it to make paper

Very excited to share our new paper. We explore how people's #emotion , #care, and #affectiverelations with their immediate nature act as subjectivity-forming factors @ElsGeogPlan @siddkitta @atree_org @MAHE_Manipal @Enviro_SSH_PhDs authors.elsevier.com/a/1gg0H…

Native mammals disperse the highly invasive Senna spectabilis in the Western Ghats, India

Native mammals disperse the highly invasive Senna spectabilis in the Western Ghats, India

Senna spectabilis(DC.) Irwin & Barneby, a native tree of tropical America, is rapidly invading different forest types globally especially in the Western Ghats biodiversity hotspot, posing severe...

Many of the protected areas in the Western Ghats are already threatened by the spread of various invasive alien plant species. A survey in the Western Ghats to map areas where Senna spectabilis is present is required, & monitoring changes to curb the future spread is imperative.

Globally, invasive species are a major conservation challenge, threatening native biodiversity, causing extinctions, & hampering natural evolutionary processes. When alien plants are dispersed by native animals, it disrupts native mutualisms that evolved over evolutionary time.

This graphic helps me wrap my head around the magnitude of the problem. Notice the amount of current biomass for wild mammals (in green) versus that for livestock and humans. No wonder we have converging crises of biodiversity, fresh water, and climate. doi.org/10.1093/biosci/biac0…

The year-long farmers' protest has finally triumphed. Indian farmers have scripted one of the brightest chapters in the history of class struggles. Salutes to the martyrs, farmers and organisations who fought with unmatched resoluteness and undying spirit. #Farmlaws
