Birds play important roles in seed dispersal & pollination. Their loss disrupts these vital processes leading to cascading harmful effects on the ecosystems. We need to ramp up efforts to #ProtectBirds with habitat restoration.
Erratic monsoons will cause sea level rise & increase extreme weather events. This poses significant challenges for water resource management, agriculture & disaster preparedness in India and other monsoon-dependent regions.
There is an urgent need for effective conservation strategies in the face of climate hazards like heat waves and extreme temperature fluctuations in order to mitigate sex-specific responses to Climate Change in wild animals.
Delving into the environmental attitudes of college students in Tamil Nadu, our study reveals that students have a fondness for nature, a commitment to conservation, but show neutrality on key issues such as eco centric concern. Additionally, we convened a workshop involving academicians, researchers, environmentalists, and journalists to revisit the existing UGC environmental studies curriculum. The outcome report and model syllabus from this workshop serves as an addendum to the main report.
An in-depth analysis of the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board’s structure, leadership, and capacity for the years 2017-2022. This study explores gaps and offers insights for better environmental management in Tamil Nadu. Dive into the report for more details.
As per Elsevier study #ClimateChange induced extreme weather events impact insect populations by causing a spike in mortality. This in turn affects the relationships between plants, herbivores, predators & other organisms involved in the food web.
While technology plays an important role in combating climate change, without addressing fossil fuels we don't stand a fighting chance. This edition of St(o)ppwatch brings you news on just transition, interesting interdisciplinary linkages and much more!
A recent Brown University study unveils novel insights into temperature-induced coral bleaching. This paves the way for innovative models and urgent avenues of future research in understanding marine ecosystems.
A recent Nature Communications study of the populations of 19 bird & mammal species found that 70% of these populations are susceptible to extinction over the next few decades as the rate of their evolution significantly lags behind the rapid rate of #ClimateChange.
In the grand theatre of Earth's ever-evolving climate drama, the protagonists are undoubtedly the adaptable ones. They are expected to be chameleons who skillfully adjust their hues to harmonise with the ever-shifting backdrop. As our planet undergoes a dramatic climatic makeover, adaptation is the name of the game, the key to thriving in a world of climate chaos. But what happens if, in our quest for survival, we inadvertently grab the script to a completely different play?
