The 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐡𝐢–𝐃𝐞𝐡𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐧 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐨𝐫 was inaugurated on April 14, 2026 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Built at a cost of ₹12,000 crore, the corridor connects Akshardham in Delhi to Dehradun via Baghpat, Shamli, and Saharanpur. It features Asia’s longest elevated wildlife corridor, spanning 11 km. Travel time between Delhi and Dehradun is now reduced from 6–7 hours to approximately 2.5–3 hours. The project also integrates strong environmental safeguards, including a 12 km elevated stretch for wildlife movement, 8 dedicated animal crossings, 2 elephant underpasses, and a 340 metre tunnel near Dat Kali Temple.

23 Years of Tiger Massacre: International Poacher Kalya Bawariya (Aadin Singh) Still Active Through Network The Madhya Pradesh Forest Department arrested an international wildlife trafficker, Kalya Bawariya, last year. He was a resident of Karauli district in Rajasthan and had been involved in this criminal activity for the past 23 years. This man, along with his gang, was responsible for wiping out the tigers of Sariska. At that time, he was working under the notorious international trafficker Sansarchand. He virtually emptied Sariska of tigers. He also carried out indiscriminate poaching of almost all tigers in the Ranthambore-2 and Karauli ranges, and a significant number of tigers in Ranthambore itself. During that period, Sariska had been reduced to zero tigers, while Ranthambore was left with just 16 tigers when it received the status of a Tiger Reserve. Later, after becoming the most wanted criminal in Rajasthan’s forest department, Kalya Bawariya fled the state and continued operating his gang through local small-time traffickers in the Gadchiroli districts of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, as well as in Chhattisgarh. During interrogation, he confessed to poaching 50 tigers and over 100 leopards in recent years. These hunts involved local hunters from Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, and Maharashtra. However, many of these poachers are still operating underground and continue to harm wildlife. A large number of police and forest department personnel are also allegedly involved in this network, yet both the Forest and Police departments have so far failed to apprehend these wildlife criminals and their sleeper cells. Until concrete and strict action is taken against these individuals, it is impossible to truly revive wildlife in this region. For this, it is essential to form a joint task force comprising officials from all three states (Maharastra , Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh). There is an urgent need to appoint top officers in this area who genuinely love and care for wildlife. At the same time, it is equally important to strictly transfer incompetent, lazy, and anti-wildlife officers from these sensitive zones. This will not yield immediate results, but it will lay a strong and effective foundation for long-term wildlife protection. #tigerprotectionact #bigcatalliance #wildlifeawareness #tadobatigerreserve #chattisgarhwildlife #wildlifeindanger

And the epic journey begins again in all its glory. Three new travellers, Apapang (adult male) orange track, Alang (young female) Yellow track, and Ahu (adult female) Red Track, were satellite-tagged on 11th November 2025 as part of the Manipur Amur Falcon Tracking Project (Phase 2) by Wildlife Institute of India . In just days, Apapang has stunned trackers with an extraordinary non-stop flight, already cutting across central India and now skimming the Arabian Sea, poised for a 3,000 km oceanic crossing to Somalia,one of the most demanding journeys undertaken by any raptor on the planet. From the forests of Manipur to the vast African landscapes that await them, these tiny birds barely 150 grams continue to remind us of the sheer wonder of migration, and why India’s protection of stopover sites has become a global conservation story. What a wonder ! Credits Suresh Kumar #AmurFalcons #BirdMigration

SANParks has launched an investigation to trace and identify a man seen in viral social media footage allegedly engaging in dangerous and unlawful driving inside the Kruger National Park. They described the incident as deeply concerning and condemned the driver’s actions as reckless, irresponsible and a serious violation of conservation laws. According to SANParks, the footage shows the individual illegally crossing rivers with a vehicle, driving on roads that had officially been closed, and operating the vehicle recklessly within the protected area. Authorities said the conduct displayed a blatant disregard for public safety, environmental protection measures, conservation regulations and the authority of park management. SANParks stressed that national parks are protected under strict environmental legislation, including the National Environmental Management Act (NEMA) and the National Environmental Management: Protected Areas Act (NEMPAA). These laws prohibit activities that could damage ecosystems, threaten biodiversity, endanger wildlife or compromise visitor safety. The organisation warned that violations could result in criminal charges, substantial fines, imprisonment, civil claims for damages and administrative sanctions. The agency highlighted that driving through rivers and ignoring road closures can severely damage sensitive ecosystems and infrastructure, while also putting both humans and animals at risk. Road closures in the park are often implemented for critical safety reasons, including flooding, poor road conditions and wildlife movement. SANParks confirmed that officials are actively working to identify the suspect and warned that once located, he could face the full might of the law, including fines and a possible ban from all SANParks-managed protected areas. SANParks said, “We are looking for this individual, and he will face the music.” The organisation also confirmed that gate officials allegedly seen in the video encouraging or supporting the conduct will face consequences for violating park regulations and staff conduct rules. Members of the public with information that may assist investigators have been urged to contact SANParks or the nearest law enforcement authorities. SANParks

Gujarat sees a GIB chick after a decade, through a novel conservation measure - the jumpstart approach, coordinated by the Ministry, State Forest Departments of Rajasthan and Gujarat, and Wildlife Institute of India. Envisioned by PM Shri Narendra Modi ji in 2011 to conserve GIB in its natural habitats including Gujrat, Project GIB was launched in 2016. As a result the number of birds in conservation breeding centres, started at Sam and Ramdevra in Rajasthan, have reached 73 with addition of 5 new chicks in this season and we are moving ahead towards rewilding of birds in near future. In achieving another milestone, a female GIB, tagged in August 2025, had laid an infertile egg in Kutch, as this population has lost all its males long back. In a major trans-state conservation effort, a captive-bred GIB egg from the conservation breeding program in Rajasthan was transported by road over 19 hours in a handheld portable incubator and was replaced in the nest on 22 March. The female completed incubating this fertile egg and hatched it on March 26. The field monitoring team found the young chick being reared by its foster mother. This effort is among one of the many steps to recover the critically endangered Great Indian Bustard populations. With the commitment to save GIB, we are making great progress in India’s conservation journey. Congratulations to all scientists, field officers and wildlife enthusiasts who made this possible. We are keeping our fingers crossed for the survival of the chick. At the same time we remain committed to leaving no stone unturned to make the endeavour successful. 🎥 The GIB takes a stroll with her chick.

#WATCH | Based on specific Intelligence, a foreign passenger arriving from Bangkok was detained by officials from the Mumbai Customs at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) today. A subsequent search of their checked baggage—a trolley bag—led to the discovery and seizure of 02 Silvery Gibbon (Hylobates Moloch), one live and one found dead, which were concealed in a basket. The Silvery Gibbon is a small ape, known for its striking bluish-grey fur, endemic to the Indonesian island of Java. It is classified as Endangered (EN) on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. The foreign national first travelled to Thailand from Malaysia. A bag containing the Gibbon was handed over to him by a member of the syndicate for delivering it in India. The syndicate arranged the travel itinerary of the passenger. The passenger has been arrested. Further investigation is underway under the provisions of the Customs Act, 1962, and the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. (Video: Mumbai Customs)

Russia has built more than 2,500 km of roads and railroads, a new railway network, and revamped ports in the occupied territories of Ukraine, according to a Reuters investigation. Large-scale works, confirmed by satellite imagery and news agency data, indicate that this is not temporary wartime logistics, but a systematic integration of occupied territories into Russian infrastructure. One of the key projects is the "Novorossiya Railways" system, which includes a planned 525-km line started in 2023. Since that year, Russia has spent about $425 million on the construction and maintenance of the railway network in the occupied territories. At the same time, road infrastructure is also being developed: the "Novorossiya" highway is being built as part of the 1,400-kilometer "Azov Ring" loop, which is intended to connect the seized parts of Ukrainian regions with Russia and Russian-occupied Crimea. According to Reuters, the new rail and road connections already allow Moscow to circumvent the Crimean Bridge, which had previously been the main road and rail link to the peninsula and remains vulnerable to Ukrainian strikes. Occupied Ukrainian ports that were largely inactive in the first years of the war have been revamped and reopened under Russia's flag on the inland Sea of Azov. Satellite images taken of Mariupol's docks in August 2025 show a new silver-domed facility, and nearby, a mountain of what looks like coal being readied for export. The long-term nature of the infrastructure projects, as well as the scale of investment ($11.8 billion was allocated to develop four occupied Ukrainian regions between 2024 and 2026), shows the Kremlin has no intention of returning the territories to Ukraine as part of any future peace settlement, experts say.

🚨𝐑𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐑𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐀𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭🚨 On March 6, 2025, at approximately 10 a.m., two vehicles were involved in a road rage incident. When both vehicles stopped at the red light of South US Highway 41 and West College Avenue in Ruskin, the driver of the white van, Leonard Cako, 47, approached the victim's vehicle with an aluminum baseball bat. Cako reached into the victim's car and began to strike and grab him. The victim defended himself by firing a flare gun. The flare hit Cako, who began to strike the car with the bat. Cako was identified as the primary aggressor and arrested and charged with: ▪Burglary of Conveyance With Assault or Battery ▪Aggravated Assault Victim Over 65 ▪Criminal Mischief Over $1000 "This is another example of how quickly road rage can escalate. There's no excuse for a driver to get out of their car and assault and threaten another driver," said Sheriff Chad Chronister. "I'm glad we were able to make sure this suspect will suffer the consequences of his actions."

These dogs are a living, breathing testament to the impact of our field conservation work. 20 years ago, when we started working in the Northern Area of Tsavo East National Park, it was rare to see a single African wild dog. They are vulnerable to snares, human-wildlife conflict, and disease, and illegal activities in the area had taken their toll on the species. In partnership with the Kenya Wildlife Service, we started extensive anti-poaching work in the Northern Area, installing teams in the landscape and conducting regular ground and aerial patrols. By removing snares and reducing threats across the ecosystem, we helped create an environment where the dogs could rebound. Two decades later, the Northern Area is home to several healthy African wild dog packs. This one has about 16 members, and another nearby pack numbers around 40. To go from barely a single sighting to packs numbering in the dozens is a wonderful testament to how our anti-poaching efforts are paying off. Your support helps us bring about wholesale transformation for entire landscapes and endangered species. Learn more about our work:

From Highway to Mud Pit: Uttara Kannada–Sirsi Road Turns Into Slush Nightmare Look at the condition of this road in Karnataka this is the Uttara Kannada Sirsi road. Thanks to our MLA, MP, and the state government for this worst kind of maintenance. What should have been a proper, motorable road has now turned into a muddy stretch filled with slush and deep potholes. This Uttara Kannada Sirsi road has become a nightmare for the public. Even buses are unable to cross smoothly, and bikers are struggling in the middle of the slush, risking accidents at every moment. Many vehicles are simply turning back because no one wants to get stuck or damage their vehicles. Local residents, daily commuters, school children, and emergency services are all suffering because of this pathetic condition. Where is the road? Is this what people pay taxes for? This is not just poor maintenance this is complete negligence. Authorities make big promises about development and infrastructure, but the ground reality on the Uttara Kannada Sirsi road tells a completely different story. Basic infrastructure like roads should be a priority, not an afterthought. The concerned officials and elected representatives must take responsibility immediately instead of ignoring the hardships faced by the people. The public deserves safe and proper roads, not this endless stretch of mud and inconvenience. #banalore #bengaluru #sirsi #uttarkannada 112 Uttara Kannada Deo UttaraKannada Ramalinga Reddy SP Karwar DK Shivakumar Siddaramaiah alok kumar DGP KARNATAKA ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ Karnataka State Police S.

Authorities make big promises about development and infrastructure, but the ground reality on the Uttara Kannada Sirsi road tells a completely different story. Basic infrastructure like roads should be a priority, not an afterthought. The concerned officials and elected representatives must take responsibility immediately instead of ignoring the hardships faced by the people. The public deserves safe and proper roads, not this endless stretch of mud and inconvenience. #banalore #bengaluru #sirsi #uttarkannada 112 Uttara Kannada Deo UttaraKannada Ramalinga Reddy SP Karwar DK Shivakumar Siddaramaiah alok kumar DGP KARNATAKA ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ Karnataka State Police S.

SAVE DWARKA (DELHI) FOREST : 120-acre LAND HOME TO SEVERAL SPECIES IS ENDANGERED. NEED TO ADOPT SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT APPROACH | The DWARKA FOREST of DELHI is home to several species of both flora and fauna. Wildlife includes 65 bird species, 50 antelope (Nilgai) and many other animals flourish in the forest. This forest is close to the SAHIBI RIVER. Although it is a newly developed forest (circa 2008 onwards), it falls in the migratory route of birds visiting the Great Najafgarh Lake. The 120-acre land was acquired by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) in the 1960s and then by the Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA) around 2008. In 2021, RLDA launched its Bijwasan Railway Redevelopment Project. During the above project, RLDA contractors instead of cutting or planting trees, buried them alive in the soil. They had no valid permission to do so until 2024. The forest department had imposed a fine of Rs 5.93 crore on RLDA for illegal felling of 990 trees in the area in 2022. Cutting trees in the city requires permission from the forest department under the Delhi Preservation of Trees Act, 1994. However, if an area is a protected forest or deemed forest, permission is also required under the Forest Conservation Act, 2023. After the fine was imposed and paid by RLDA in 2022, RLDA again started cutting trees and burying them alive. In February 2024, the National Green Tribunal found that the land on which the Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA) is constructing the Bijwasan Rail Terminal station in Dwarka is not a protected forest or deemed forest area. The tribunal has disposed of the plea which said the terminal was being built on "Protected" forest land. This allowed the project to proceed. The tribunal also observed that the Forest Conservation Act, 2023, which was recently amended, no longer covers deemed forests. "Ecology is the permanent economy" We need to protect our flora and fauna and adopt a sustainable development approach. #SaveDwarkaForest #Delhi #Heatwave #climateaction #sustainability #UNEP #BreakingNews‌ #Environment #India

I am compelled to share a deeply concerning experience that occurred to me on Monday, 12/04/2026 at around 12:03 which poses a serious risk not only to motorists but to public safety at large. After filling up my vehicle with a full tank of fuel at Oasis Filling Station along Kamloops Road in Kalingalinga, Lusaka, my vehicle stalled barely 1.9 km from the station while driving on the highway (Nangwenya Road). The engine completely shut down and could not restart. Initially, I suspected a battery issue and spent nearly two hours attempting multiple jump-starts, all to no avail. I then contacted my mechanic, who advised that the vehicle be towed back home for proper inspection. Upon draining the fuel system, we discovered a shocking issue: the fuel contained a significant amount of watery liquid (see pictures attached to this post) Visually and physically, it resembled water contamination. This immediately raised serious concerns about the quality and safety of fuel being dispensed at the station. I returned to the filling station and reported the issue to the manager on duty. Unfortunately, she appeared to have limited authority and could not provide immediate assistance or resolution without consulting her superiors. Regrettably, this engagement yielded no meaningful response. Even more concerning, Oasis Filling Station management has proven to be difficult, and non-compliant in resolving the issue affecting my vehicle, despite clear evidence and multiple affected customers on site. worse off, five other motorists were present at the station reporting similar incidents—vehicles breaking down shortly after refueling from the same location. As it stands, my vehicle is currently immobilized, and I am likely facing costly repairs due to what appears to be contaminated fuel. Sadly, This situation is not just an inconvenience—it is a serious safety hazard. Like in my case, a vehicle stalling unexpectedly on the highway put our lives at risk which could have easily resulted in accidents or fatalities. As it stands, I personally strongly urge: - Fellow motorists to exercise extreme caution when refueling in this area. - The relevant authorities, including the Energy Regulation Board (ERB) and consumer protection bodies, to immediately investigate this matter. - Oasis Filling Station management to take accountability and urgently address the issue to prevent further damage and harm (though they're proving to be not compliant as I speak right now). Unfortunately, this incident highlights the critical importance of fuel quality assurance, regulatory enforcement, and consumer protection in Zambia. #PublicSafety #FuelContamination #Lusaka #ConsumerProtection #ERB #RoadSafety #Accountability

This is why Tesla makes the safest vehicles in the world: • All Tesla models have received five-star safety ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. • Built from the ground up with an all-electric architecture, resulting in low rollover risk and reduced occupant injury probability. • Uses anonymous/aggregated real-world data from millions of miles driven to enhance safety via over-the-air updates and inform future vehicle designs. • Battery packs designed to isolate and vent heat away from the cabin; historically (2012–2020 U.S. data), Tesla vehicles ~10x less likely to experience fire per mile than average gas vehicles. • Before a crash occurs, Tesla uses the front cameras to observe the scenario and prepare the seat belt system to react faster and with adequate force and timing when impact occurs, reducing the amount of slack in each seat belt. • Tesla’s advanced airbags are tuned to deploy according to crash type and different-sized occupants. This includes active venting that changes the amount of pressure within the inflated cushion by releasing gas according to the expected crash severity. • When a serious collision is detected, the hazard lights will turn on to increase your visibility and doors will automatically unlock for emergency access. At the same time, your Tesla will automatically contact emergency services to get help to you as quickly as possible. • Tesla vehicle structures are designed to cushion and protect the battery in the event of an accident. Onboard systems will automatically disconnect the high-voltage battery upon impact. If a battery fire does occur, the battery pack is designed to spread heat away from the cabin to protect occupants.

May this young man's Soul Rest in Peace. The carnage continues due to unprecedented levels of greed, dereliction of duty, and lack of accountability. The funds are actually there and have been provided over the past decade. The Ministry of Finance Ministry of Finance has released about UGX 100 Billion since 2019 for a Department of Government whose main responsibility and objective should be prevention of road crashes. These funds have been spent on activities with very minimal impact on road safety. This information has been shared with IGG, Office of the Auditor General Uganda, Criminal Investigations Directorate-UPF. How do you explained the death of a young man in a fatal road crash that caused the incineration of the vehicle which he was driving? He must have been driving in one of the best motor vehicles in this country given the wealth of his family. He was driving a motor vehicle which probably had good safety features on a smooth road without pot holes. It is easy to draw conclusions like he was speeding, he was fatigued, he lost control of his motor vehicle, he made errors, e.t.c. Whereas all that may be true, did he deserve to die in such a gruesome way for those errors in judgement? The answer is a BIG NO. The truth is government failed him in so many ways. At the center of modern day road safety management is recognition that errors made by road users (drivers, motorcyclists, cyclist and pedestrians) MUST NOT lead to their demise. Here is a situation he found himself in: Concrete Barriers on a road that encourages high speed. Who has the onus to remove this hazard? Government. I could have perished in the same circumstances a few years back before the completion of the KEE on the way to the Airport. It was a rainy early morning at about 5:00am and I drove through barriers which were made of plastic. So why were these not made of plastic? Was there a provision for lighting on that section? If not, it should have been there. This is what we mean when we say roads should be forgiving. Apart from their design, road sides are the major reference here. The road should have forgiven him for this error if it had plastic reflective barriers. These kind of barriers would have caught his attention and he would have stopped his car instead of killing him. Were the traffic lights functional? Why was there no hazard signage or warning of any sort since there were barriers in middle of the road? This section of the road is built as an expressway and as such encourages speeding especially at any time beyond midnight. There are no traffic calming measures in place yet it is freely used by pedestrians and Boda-Bodaz like any other city road. Roads are supposed to be designed and constructed bearing in mind the activities that take place around them (Land Use). Interventions to control speed must be implemented if there is a high volume of different road users. They would have got his attention and he would not have died. A glaring example of contractors that do not care about road safety is on the section of Kampala-Masaka in the swampy section of Lwera. The Concrete Barriers are there and in places where they are not, there is nothing preventing a motor vehicle falling off into the swamp. Not even a rope. UNTIL THE DAY WHEN THE LEADERSHIP OF THIS COUNTRY ACCEPTS THAT ROAD CRASHES ARE PREVENTABLE AND PARLIAMENT STARTS DEMANDING ACCOUNTABILTY ON ROAD SAFETY, THIS CARNAGE WILL CONTINUE. ACCEPTING THERE IS A PROBLEM IS THE FIRST STEP TO SOLVING IT OR MANAGING IT. TOMORROW IT MIGHT BE ME OR YOU.

For three long days, a pregnant Gangetic dolphin fought for survival after getting trapped in a fast-flowing canal in Uttar Pradesh's Maharajganj district. The 7.2-foot-long, 147-kg dolphin had been swept into the Paratawal canal during heavy rains. An initial rescue attempt failed, but the teams refused to give up. On Monday, the Uttar Pradesh Forest Department, Gorakhpur Zoo, TSA Foundation, the Irrigation Department, Uttar Pradesh Police, and the Namami Gange Gangetic Dolphin Rescue Ambulance came together for a second rescue mission. To ensure she reached safety without delay, authorities created a 20-km green corridor from Bhatkhat to Rajghat. The rescue ambulance then covered 52 km in just 1 hour and 5 minutes before releasing her safely into the Rapti River. The Gangetic dolphin is India's National Aquatic Animal and an important indicator of the Ganga's ecological health. This wasn't just the rescue of an endangered species—it also saved the unborn calf she was carrying. Here's to every person who made this extraordinary mission possible. 💙 🎥 Credit: Namami Gange (Namami Gange ) #WildlifeConservation #NatureLovers #InspiringIndia #ConservationSuccess #PositiveNews [Gangetic Dolphin, Ganga Dolphin Rescue, Pregnant Gangetic Dolphin, National Aquatic Animal of India, Namami Gange, Uttar Pradesh Forest Department, Gorakhpur Zoo] Original post by द बेटर इंडिया (The Better India - Hindi)
