<span style="font-size:14px">By Prerna Bindra, Firstpost, 13th January 2018<br>
<br>
On 29 December, 2017, in a dry, desert near India’s western frontier, forest officials found the dismembered carcass of a large brown-and-white bird. They quickly recognised it as one of the world’s largest flying birds, one of its most endangered species, and the bird most likely to be the first in the subcontinent to slide into extinction in 21st century.<span style="color:rgb(0,100,0)"> </span></span><span style="font-size:14px">The main threat to the bustard comes from an ironic source: Renewable energy.

<span style="font-size:14px">By Preksha Sharma, The Wire, 26th October 2017<br>
<br>
Sometime in early August, a team at the Central Arid Zone Research Institute in Leh was studying leaves of poplars, a fast-growing tree that is abundant in Ladakh and – along with timber – provides a spectacular cover of green in the arid trans-Himalayan region. Only this year, the leaves were wilted and left brown in patches after an insect used them as a host to breed. The scientists at the institute were trying to identify the insect. <a href="https://thewire.in/191190/arid-trans-himalayas-rise-pest-attacks-indicates-changing-climate-conditions/" style="color:rgb(81,207,221);font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(0,100,0)">Read more…</span></a></span></p>

<span style="font-size:14px">By Sven Willner et al, Potsdam Institute of Climate Research, 2018<br>
<br>
Rainfall changes caused by global warming will increase river flood risks across the globe. Already today, fluvial floods are among the most common and devastating natural disasters. Scientists have now calculated the required increase in flood protection until the 2040s worldwide, breaking it down to single regions and cities. They find that the need for adaptation is greatest in the US, parts of India and Africa, Indonesia, and in Central Europe including Germany. Inaction would expose many millions of people to severe flooding. <a href="http://%20https://www.pik-potsdam.de/news/press-releases/adaptation-now-river-flood-risks-increase-around-the-globe-under-future-warming" style="color:rgb(81,207,221);font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(0,100,0)">Read more…</span></a></span></p>

<span style="font-size:14px">By TNM Staff, The News Minute, 23rd December 2017<br>

Cauvery river’s amount of total dissolved solids is 753 mg per litre, which is nearly six times that of the Ganga. A government-funded Anna University study has found that Cauvery, one of India’s major rivers, carries the highest level of toxins despite having lowest discharge into the sea. <a href="https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/cauvery-river-water-carries-highest-level-chemicals-india-anna-uni-study-73609" style="color:rgb(81,207,221);font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(0,100,0)">Read more…</span></a></span></p>

<span style="font-size:14px">By Jonathan Watts, The guardian, 4th January 2018<br>
<br>
After swathes of forest clearance, millions of tonnes of concrete and decades of hydro-expansion, Brazil has raised hopes that it may finally step back from the construction of new mega-dams. In a surprise statement, a senior government official said hydropower policy needed to be rethought in the face of environmental concerns, indigenous sensitivities and public unease. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/jan/04/brazil-raises-hopes-of-a-retreat-from-new-mega-dam-construction?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other" style="color:rgb(81,207,221);font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(0,100,0)">Read more…</span></a></span></p>

By Jitendra, Down to Earth, 31st December 2017<br>
<br>
African lions, which were once the pride of the spectacular landscapes of Maasai Mara in Kenya, are fast vanishing. The country is losing about 100 lions each year for the past decade. In 2002, there were 2,749 lions, which dwindled to roughly 2,000 in 2014, says the government-run Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS). “About 20 years ago, tourists could encounter more than 250 adult lions, but you will be lucky to come across 120 today”. <a href="http://www.downtoearth.org.in/news/kenya-is-losing-about-100-lions-each-year-for-the-past-decade-59359" style="color:rgb(81,207,221);font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(0,100,0)">Read more…</span></a></p>

<span style="font-size:14px">By Manu Moudgil, India Spend, 13th December 2017<br>
<br>
As time progressed, Baiga Chak–the officially recognised traditional habitat of the Baiga tribe known for its myriad species and their inclusion in the local diet, lifestyle and healthcare–started losing its biodiversity. A nonprofit, the National Institute of Women, Child, and Youth Development (NIWCYD), established “forest study groups” in various villages in 2005. The approach was unique: Instead of getting experts to research on the changing ecosystem, villagers were trained not only to analyse the situation but also to suggest conservation plans. <a href="http://www.indiaspend.com/cover-story/citizens-could-save-indias-environment-if-a-15-year-old-law-is-used-well-11315" style="color:rgb(81,207,221);font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(0,100,0)">Read more…</span></a></span></p>

Amidst a verdant grove of teak trees in Tamil Nadu’s Anamalai Tiger Reserve lies an ageing tombstone with a Latin inscription that says “Si Monumentum Requires Circumspice (If you seek his monument, look around)”. The grave of a little-known Scotsman named Hugo Francis Andrew Wood, this serene spot remains a must-see for local forest guards and nature enthusiasts more than 70 years after the man himself died. For he is the reason why these ancient hills are still lush with trees. <a href="https://www.thebetterindia.com/125912/hugo-wood-teak-trees-anamalai-hills-tamil-nadu/" style="color:rgb(81,207,221);font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(0,100,0)">Read more…</span></a></span></p>

One Environmental Protection Agency employee spoke up at a private lunch held near the agency headquarters, saying she feared the nation might be headed toward an “environmental catastrophe.” Another staff member, from Seattle, sent a letter to Scott Pruitt, the E.P.A. administrator, raising similar concerns about the direction of the agency. A third, from Philadelphia, went to a rally where he protested against agency budget cuts. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/17/us/politics/epa-pruitt-media-monitoring.html" style="color:rgb(81,207,221);font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(0,100,0)">Read more…</span></a></span></p>

Last month the Power Finance Corporation of India (PFC) issued a so-called green bond in London. It is a 10-year green bond and raised USD 400 million, paying a 3.75 per cent semi-annual coupon and listed on London Stock Exchange’s new International Securities Market (ISM). The cost of money therefore, ignoring the semi-annual payment, is 3.75% of USD 400 mio which is USD 15 mio per year and USD 150 mio over 10 years which is a total repayment of USD 550 mio over 10 yrs. <a href="http://www.countercurrents.org/2017/12/05/rs-six-per-unit-of-electricity-being-sent-abroad/" style="color:rgb(81,207,221);font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(0,100,0)">Read more...</span></a></span></p>

<span style="font-size:14px">By Niranjan Kaggere, Bangalore Mirror, 26th December 2017<br>
<br>
In the 1965 war, despite being technologically outclassed, it was the Indian Air Force’s determination that pushed back the Pakistanis. In 1971, the IAFs prized MiG-21s and Gnats outclassed and outfought the Pakistani Sabres and Starfighters. And then during the Kargil skirmish of 1999, the fine pilots of the force overcame the many difficulties associated with high-altitude combat and forced the enemy to capitulate. But the Indian Air Force seems to have lost this fierce legal battle -- fought over five years -- to the Karnataka Forest Department for its 452 acres of land in Jarakabande Kaval (Yelahanka) and Peenya. <a href="http://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/bangalore/cover-story/in-tussle-between-revenue-and-forest-depts-iaf-loses-dogfight-with-state-over-452-acres-that-it-bought-illegally/articleshow/62244433.cms" style="color:rgb(81,207,221);font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(0,100,0)">Read more…</span></a></span></p>

This infuriates those appalled at waste. Their outrage, however, has not been enough to create for unwanted fruit and vegetable the kind of sophisticated market that exists for products with more obvious uses, such as securities, currencies, metals, oil and unsullied agriculture.

<span style="font-size:14px">Interview with Leo Saldanha and Bhargavi Rao by Christine Lutringer, Open Edition, 2017<br>
<br>
The campaign for a new solid waste management policy in India, which was co-organised by ESG, underscores the significance of the legal activism initiated by civil society groups. The public interest litigation (PIL) that united various affected parties were key to transforming the solid waste management policies of cities across India. Leo Saldanha and Bhargavi Rao of <a href="http://www.esgindia.org" style="color:rgb(81,207,221);font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">Environment Support Group</a> discuss the strategy of their NGO while showing how a progressive ruling by the Karnataka High Court resulted in decentralisation of solid waste management. They also point to the challenges of implementing the judgment and the fact that processes of waste collection and disposal are not merely technical and administrative matters, but are eminently social and cultural issues. <a href="http://journals.openedition.org/poldev/2487" style="color:rgb(81,207,221);font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(0,100,0)">Read more...</span></a></span></p>

Tradition, for me, needs to act like a springboard for future. “We have reached the tipping point of mechanisation”, said handloom activist Uzramma at the national symposium on Handmade. “It is time to look at your hands in awe and the wonders it can produce”, she emphasised. <a href="http://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/art/hand-holding-change/article22418737.ece" style="color:rgb(81,207,221);font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(0,100,0)">Read more...</span></a></span></p>

Irrfan Khan attacked the idea that one can get away from being an activist. According to him “it is a delusional idea that we are just individuals, what we do and do not do affects everybody’s lives and we have to be considerate in everything we do, always.” Khan was speaking on the sidelines of a National Symposium on ‘The Handmade’ organised in Bangalore recently by Gram Seva Sangh, Environment Support Group and St Joseph’s Institute of Management. <a href="http://%20http://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/joining-hands-with-the-handmade/article22418974.ece" style="color:rgb(81,207,221);font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(0,100,0)">Read more…</span></a></span></p>
