    India’s vultures need not just conservation programmes but also protected landscapes (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Thirty years ago, the vulture in India suffered a death knell of sorts to its existence. Diclofenac, a painkiller used for cattle, destroyed the kidneys of Indian vultures. Millions died as a result. This caused a rise in feral dog populations in turn leading to a spike in rabies and human mortality. Since then, the Indian government has banned diclofenac and a number of other Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs. Conservation programmes across India are now breeding vultures in captivity and re

But what causes this phenomenon that stays on even during the monsoon? According to a study by the Delhi government, foam formation in the Yamuna is not solely due to synthetic ‘surfactants’ but may also be influenced by biogenic inputs, especially from invasive aquatic species like Eichhornia crassipes (water hyacinth). Eutrophication-induced plankton b

    Cooling off as Delhi becomes a hot and humid chamber (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A Rosy Pelican enjoys a refreshing splash on a hot, humid day at Delhi Zoo. During the summer monsoon, winds blowing inland from the seas surrounding the country carry enormous amounts of water vapour into north India. This causes humidity levels to soar even when it does not rain. Due to such conditions, cities like Delhi become hot, moisture-filled chambers. And the heat feels more oppressive than it actually should. This humid heat affects everyone, human and non-human. Authorities at the Del
