What kind of development are we building for Uttarakhand? A video shared by young environmentalist Shankar Singh Bisht claims that trees have been marked for road widening in the Nag Devta forest between Bua Khal and Kandoliya, Pauri Garhwal, with some trees reportedly already cut. If this road is already wide and functional, then what exactly are we gaining by cutting an entire forest for more width? This is the same Uttarakhand where sick and elderly people are still carried 2, 5 and even 10 kilometres on dandi-kandi because their villages have no motor road. We don’t have roads to hospitals. But we have the ambition to widen roads that already exist. And then we wonder why the Himalayas keep producing Kwarab, Sirobagar, Lambagad, Pagalnala and Tota Ghati. Every tree removed from an unstable mountain slope isn’t just an environmental statistic. It can mean more erosion, more landslides and greater risk for the very roads we are widening. We celebrate “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam.” Then mark thousands of trees for cutting in the name of development. If development means cutting forests to make existing roads wider while villages remain without roads at all, perhaps the question isn’t whether Uttarakhand needs development. The question is: development for whom, and at what cost?

A womanis going viral after detailing how her neighbor’s backyard makeover resulted in most of the trees on HER property getting bulldozed. Linz DeFranco in Georgia says her neighbor approached her last year about extending his backyard farther out. His plan, she said, involved removing trees that sat on both his lot as well as some on her lot. She made it clear that she wanted to protect her privacy. The neighbor agreed to mark which trees on her property they wanted to cut & would notify her for approval. Then nothing happened for a year. No updates. No heads-up. NOTHING. That is, until she woke up one morning & realized most of her trees were completely GONE. She shows in the video what her backyard used to look like vs what it looks like now. Her video already has over 3.1 million views on TT. This is crazy to me. I’d be so dang mad if I were her.

THE VP & KEMENYAN - Benzoin Needs Forests - Today, I am going to talk about benzoin, also known as ‘kemenyan’. Some of you might have seen this video: “I once discussed the issue of downstream processing of benzoin; many people laughed, saying, ‘Benzoin is for shamans. Neneneneh… Wrong. Benzoin is as valuable as nickel. However, we have always sold it in its raw form. The women who wear perfumes like LV and Gucci are made from benzoin. We continue to sell it raw. That’s why we encourage young people to research, offering them other good places for research...” First, in this video, I won’t focus on the price comparison between benzoin and nickel, because comparing the price of a finite resource like nickel to a renewable forest product like benzoin isn’t straightforward. Any good economist knows that to make an accurate comparison, we need to account for community equity and natural capital in the calculation. Secondly, done responsibly, I support the development of the downstream industry for benzoin. However, first, consider the whole picture. Benzoin, a resin obtained from various species of Styrax trees, is one of the Non-Timber Forest Products that have been collected for centuries using traditional knowledge and techniques. Cinnamic acid, contained in the sap produced by Styrax benzoin, is an important compound that is used for various purposes, such as preservatives, fragrances, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical products. Benzoin is called kemenyan in Indonesian and haminjon in Batak. This is very important: Styrax trees can be found in the undergrowth of primary forests and secondary forests. Native to tropical regions in Eastern and Southeast Asia, the trees grow along streams and require consistent moisture; they thrive as understory plants in the shade of larger trees. In Sumatra, Styrax trees are often found within the local community’s customary forests. Traditional benzoin forest management involves only low-intensity disturbances, maintaining an ecological structure that enables the effective accumulation of forest species. The source of seedlings and good quality of seeds mostly comes from natural forests. In summary, the sustainable production of benzoin needs a sustainable forest. My question is, to develop a sustainable downstream industry for benzoin or kemenyan, will Mr Vice President end the destruction of natural forests? Will Mr Vice President guarantee the protection of local communities’ customary forests, and support the community in building a sustainable benzoin industry based on equity and fair treatment? The fact is that to date, less than 8% of customary forests in Indonesia are recognised by the government. Many are threatened and destroyed for monoculture palm oil, pulpwood plantations and others. I am unsure whether Louis Vuitton or gucci will accept products from sources associated with deforestation or community rights violations. Will Mr Vice President walk the walk?

In America, a huge mountain turned out to be a huge petrified piece of a tree, and he is not the only one.🤔 The public narrative about it 👇 Devils Tower (Wyoming): This geological formation, with its columnar structure, does indeed resemble a giant tree stump.😉 In the mythology of many Indigenous peoples, it is also known as "Tree Rock." Scientific consensus: Geologists confirm that Devils Tower is a volcanic plug that formed approximately 50 million years ago. 🤔 The characteristic columns were created by the slow cooling of magma. It is not petrified wood. Other "petrified giants": Proponents of the theory cite other mountains that are also interpreted as petrified trees, such as Shiprock (New Mexico) or the Jugurtha Tableland in Tunisia. True petrified forests: There are indeed vast quantities of petrified wood in America, for example, in Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona. However, these trees are embedded in sedimentary rock and did not grow into entire mountains, but rather lie as individual, petrified trunks.

This family went out of town for vacation. When they got back they noticed the neighbor had cut down some branches from their tree that were hanging over to their side. No discussion, no contact, they felt like they waited until they were gone to trim the tree. Many people said that if it is on their side hanging over they have every right to cut those branches. A lot of people brought up “Tree Law” and suggested she had a case. 🤔 Looks like there are more branches that hang over as well. We have many trees in my neighborhood and many of us share trees that give us shade and hang over each other’s property. Apparently there is a whole section dedicated to laws that govern trees between neighbors. 🤯 Have you ever heard of “Tree Law”? What would you do if you were the neighbor? If you were the owner and had come back and noticed your tree limbs cut?

This is what happens when a regime funds missiles instead of firefighters! Iran’s forests are burning. The regime sends no planes. No equipment. So in Kurdistan, civilians ran toward the flames and paid with their lives because they know that government spends billions on weapons and leaves its forests to perish in the fire. In just three days, three Kurdish environmentalists died saving Mount Abidar, protecting a land the government has devastated. People have taken to the streets, honoring the heroes the regime wants forgotten.This is real resistance. This is how you say: Their sacrifice will not burn with the trees. Respect to these real-life heroes.

From dry, barren land to a thriving green landscape. Witness the transformation. This is what vision, persistence & dedication can create. 🌳 1.5 Crore trees planted, nurtured & protected. Because the mission was never just about planting trees. It is about nurturing them, protecting them and ensuring they survive, thrive and transform the land. What has changed in Vijayapura? - Forest cover increased from 0.17% to 2.4% - Annual rainfall increased by 150 mm - Biodiversity enriched - Groundwater levels improved, helping reduce long-term drought - More rainy days - Among the top 3 cities in the country for clean air - Temperature reduced by 0.5°C And we are not stopping here. Next milestone: 5 Crore trees. Koti Vruksha Abhiyana - from planting trees to building a greener future. The mission continues. 🌿 ದೃಢ ಸಂಕಲ್ಪ–ಅಚಲ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನದಿಂದ ಸಾಧ್ಯವಾದ ಬದಲಾವಣೆ: ಒಂದು ಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಬಿಸಿಲು-ಬರದ ನಾಡು… ಇಂದು ಹಸಿರಿನ ಹೊದಿಕೆ! ಕೋಟಿ ವೃಕ್ಷ ಅಭಿಯಾನದಿಂದ ವಿಜಯಪುರದ ಹಸಿರು ಕ್ರಾಂತಿಗೆ ಹೊಸ ಅಧ್ಯಾಯ #KotiVrukshaAbhiyana #5CroreTrees #GreenVijayapura #GreenKarnataka #TreePlantation #SustainableKarnataka #GreenerFuture

“The Macrohard project probably be our most important project because what we're talking about is emulation of entire human companies. So when you look at the most valuable companies in the world, they are... their output is digital. So they don't actually make hardware. So it should be possible to completely emulate any company where the output is digital. And this will usher in an age of prosperity the likes of which we can barely imagine at this point. You need to imagine to imagine it. So this is a big deal, and this is why the words Macrohard are painted on the roof of the training cluster because that's what it's going to build.”

‼️Answering a question about whether Kyiv is free to reject any proposals during these negotiations that are not in Ukraine’s interests, Zelenskyy told journalists that Ukraine has already said “no” hundreds of times throughout the negotiation process. "The negotiation process is not simple. But you know Ukraine’s position, and I conduct negotiations in a completely open manner. And we say “no” to each other quite often. Not once to a single question – but to hundreds of questions and thousands of details. That is quite a difficult process. There are hundreds of times when you say “no.” There are issues where we find compromises. There are moments when partners say “yes” to you, and vice versa. This is an absolutely normal diplomatic struggle. And this is exactly what a country’s independence and its independent position are about. This, by the way, is exactly what we are fighting for. It is what Putin did not want. He wanted to deprive us of our sovereign right to choose how to live, whom to elect, and what to defend. That is why Ukraine today is independent. And wherever something is not in Ukraine’s interests, we speak about it openly," — Zelenskyy said to journalists on Monday, Dec. 29, 2025

In a Historic move, Government of Tamil Nadu announces pioneering initiatives for Hornbill Conservation in the State Assembly today. TN Forest Department is set to enhance hornbill conservation efforts, marking a significant move in protecting these keystone bird species. The Great Hornbill, Malabar Grey-Hornbill, Malabar Pied-Hornbill and the Indian Grey-Hornbill crucial for forest ecosystems are under threat due to habitat loss. As part of this initiative, the state has announced 1. A Centre for Excellence to be set up for Hornbill Conservation at the Anamalai Tiger Reserve. 2. Identify and protect nesting trees, including those on private lands, and recognize landowners as “Hornbill Protectors.” 3. Develop Guidelines for safeguarding nest trees of all the four hornbill species inside and out of protected areas 4. Take up ecological restoration efforts to plant and protect key food and nesting trees like Dipterocarpus indicus, Cryptocarya anamalayana, and Myristica malabaricum, many of which are endangered 5. Take up survey and population estimation of hornbills especially of lesser known malabar pied hornbills With this bold initiative in wildlife conservation we are committed to secure a thriving future for hornbills and the forests they sustain #TNhornbillconservation #TNBudget2025 #Hornbills #TNForest TN DIPR video Pravin Shanmughanandam Dhanu Paran

Wine is overrated 😬 You can’t fake what olive oil does to food, or your body. I use Immortal Provisions Extra Virgin Olive Oil. ⚠️ Most “olive oils” on the shelf are cut with seed oils, which actually cause inflammation and can make you feel & look worse worse which is why it's incredibly important to know the source. This one is 100% pure, single-varietal Picual olives from 2,000-year-old trees in Spain. The Immortal is my company so I could say all the amazing reasons why it's the best extra virgin olive oil out there and why you should consume it on a daily basis, but the MOST important thing is that you find a high-quality source you trust! #evoo #extravirginoliveoil #oliveoil #healthy #party #wine

Consider this a small reminder that while the internet is busy shouting about everything, there's a black cockatoo sitting in a tree outside my house quietly getting on with the important business of destroying Marri nuts. One of the things I love most about living on a farm is the regular stream of visitors. This particular visitor is a black cockatoo, most likely a Baudin's, although I'm fully aware that the bird experts of the internet may arrive shortly to inform me that it's actually a Carnaby's. If so, I look forward to my education. Baudin's have the longer beak and spend a lot of their time tearing apart Marri nuts, which is exactly what this one was doing outside the house. Carnaby's tend to favour the drier woodlands and wheatbelt country, while Baudin's are more commonly found through the forests of the south-west. Either way, a whole flock of them regularly turns up and spends the day methodically dismantling Marri nuts. By nightfall, it often looks like a small explosion has occurred in the trees above the lawn. There are gumnut fragments everywhere. Still, they provide endless opportunities for photography and video, so I reckon we're getting the better end of the deal.

Can you see the men climbing trees and being perched on them with a mobile phone in their hand? These men aren’t climbing trees for fun, this has been their daily ritual for the past few months. This video is from Penchikalpet Mandal, Asifabad District, Telangana The people in this video climbing trees are local farmers. Telangana Congress government decided to go all fancy with fertilizer supply and launched an app to book the same. Most farmers don’t have smart phones, and those who do also don’t know how to use an app. People in many villages are taking help of youngsters and are also buying cheaper smart phones just to book urea!! More than 90 percent of farmers in the country cannot afford smart phones and are not well versed with the technology - a very important detail the smartest policy makers in the government decided to ignore. These farmers perched on the trees - their problem is a lot more complicated. They have no network connectivity because they live in tribal areas. Every morning it is now a ritual to find the last point of connectivity and climb the highest tree for any signal. Also, this is not one village problem. Many villages in Adilabad, Kumuram Bheem Asifabad, Mulugu, Bhadradri Kothagudem, and Nagarkurnool have severe signal connectivity issues. It is important to note that according to the report of Department of Telecommunications (DoT) there are at least 303 villages in Telangana which have mobile phone towers! Meaning zero mobile network access. And they all now cannot get urea or have to depend on the mercy of the local officers even to book a bag of urea. These are the farmers that need maximum support from the government. But this government has denied them the basics right to life and dignity to produce their own food, all because of their half-brained policies. PS: Do you know why the Congress government started this whole Urea Booking App suddenly? Due to the severe shortage of urea and subsequent long queues resulting in public anger & social media attention - they decided to bring in app booking so that it will make their lives easier; not the farmers’ but the government’s..!!!

Due to the severe shortage of urea and subsequent long queues resulting in public anger & social media attention - they decided to bring in app booking so that it will make their lives easier; not the farmers’ but the government’s..!!!

Imagine buying a home specifically for its lush, mature greenery, only to come home and find your neighbors have completely cleared 20 trees and bushes from YOUR property without permission. This viral nightmare is a masterclass in why neighborly boundaries matter, the massive legal ramifications of "tree theft," and how bad communication can ruin a neighborhood. What many property owners don’t realize is that "Tree Law" is a highly specialized and incredibly punitive legal area. Cutting down trees on someone else's property without consent isn't just a minor dispute—it is a major liability. The Age Factor: In this case, one of the destroyed trees was 33 years old. You cannot simply go to a nursery, buy a sapling, and call it even. Replacing a mature, decades-old tree requires professional sourcing, massive machinery, and astronomical costs that the offending party is legally liable for. Treble Damages: In many jurisdictions, timber trespass laws allow the court to award triple the actual value of the trees if the cutting is found to be intentional or reckless. To add insult to injury, the neighbors followed up the destruction by installing a 7-foot horizontal fence. Ironically, their previous fences with other neighbors featured standard vertical slats. The horizontal construction required cutting down standard 6-foot boards, meaning extra labor was intentionally spent to build a mismatched, uneven barrier facing this specific yard. Furthermore, a massive tree on the property line had its root system hacked away to accommodate the fence, virtually guaranteeing the tree will die and create a hazardous fall risk. This entire situation highlights a critical lesson for every homeowner: Never rely on assumptions. The Missing Paper Trail: If the neighbors had simply requested a property survey and communicated their plans in writing, this disaster could have been avoided. Get It in Writing: Even if a neighbor verbally agrees to trimming or fencing, always secure a paper trail. Without it, you are exposed to immense financial and legal ruin. Instead of accepting a reasonable offer to simply replace the destroyed greenery, these neighbors doubled down, continued cutting, and told the homeowner to "call their lawyers." Now, a petty dispute is turning into a massive, costly lawsuit. Neighbor drama is entirely avoidable—all it takes is a little respect, a property survey, and basic communication.
