Did you know on #EarthDay2024 #Ghazipur exhibited fire🔥in the "belly" of a megacity? Without avian scavengers, this landfill leaks more methane annually than all the gas stoves in the USA combined! Check the link below for startling facts #Sustainability

Artificial light at nyt ALAN that has fuelled "civilizational growth" & affected biodiversity across the globe needs more focus. Here, macaque troops in @weareAUD campus are grooming beyond daylyt. These troops get food subsidies, prompting: How are we affecting social processes?

Every new connection comes at the cost of existing connection strengths. The physics nobel laureate in 2019 Didier Queloz discussed this in their Lindou meeting
Leaking radio emissions from SpaceX’s Starlink satellites are impeding observations by some ground-based radio telescopes and may eventually blind them.

It sets cool Qs about how organisms invest their sensory apparatus in varying circumstances (sensory conditioning), which might involve not using the most obvious/the most powerful sensory apparatus. Do humans evr prioritize other senses over vision? In using auditory sense, yes?

🚨Aeroecology needs to match the growth in Aviation. Tragic Korean plane crash investigation indicates birdstrike as a potential factor. @airindia @TataCompanies has ordered the largest replacement fleet of 600 planes, which requires scientific studies

@akshaykumar ji, this "koshish" would have been "chhoti" if endorsed by a commoner in the country. Occasionally linking culturally with animals that feed on human refuse is ok. But wealthy people in large cities/temple towns do more harm than good when they choose to feed en mass

Do you have calls that specifically nudge 🐶 doggos in streets to charge at certain targets (People/animals). In Siwan (Bihar; India), we use "ilooo...haaahaha" that these beings in Dehradun (1000 km west) did not follow. #Co-cultures at the human-dog interface. Post video plz RT

On Christmas eve, we found this in the streets of Doon. It prompted whether all dogs 🐕 are nice, and it is misconstrued sense of "crazy ownership" that plays havoc? And this notion of ownership extends from person, place, Animals and things. Best wishes ❤️ Go, liberate urself!!!
