A tribute to World Nature Conservation Day, where we are reminded that conservation must extend beyond conventional models.
A Better Tomorrow
Stories, Practices, and Solutions
A tree planted is not a tree grown. The 6R approach helps turn plantation drives into lasting forests.
Grasslands are vital yet often overlooked ecosystems that support biodiversity, livelihoods, and climate resilience. Their decline due to policy and land-use changes, and emphasises the urgent need for conservation, and restoration.
In late January, the United States withdrew once again from the Paris Agreement, while the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) revoked its 2009 Endangerment Finding—moves that highlight how climate policy reversals in major economies can destabilise global efforts and pose serious risks for developing countries, particularly India.
Just as a successful film relies on the combined talent of many contributors, the restoration of soils, watersheds, and landscapes depends on the collective energy of diverse stakeholders.

This International Day for Biological Diversity, let’s view some species inhabiting one of the globally identified biodiversity hotspots: the Western Ghats
The idea that pollution increases early in development but later decreases as countries get richer and adopt cleaner technologies—as suggested by the Environmental Kuznets Curve—doesn’t hold in reality, where the damage is often lasting and hard to reverse.
