Hi Kunal.. its not 'planktons'.. its actually 'plankton' both singularly and plurally.. :-)
Anyway Memma, did you tried to do something to save the wetlands?? They are really getting encroached... Loss of wetlands means a great loss and a huge dfamage to natural cycle...

wetlands r habitats fr so many planktons waterbodies birds n animals.
i hv visited a wetland named " KABUR JHEEL PAKCHI(BIRD) VIHAR" in bihar. during winter season siberian crane a bird frm siberia comes every year dere. bt due to lac of security n hunting they r decreasing in numbers.

Guwahati City of Assam is endowed with 6 major wetlands, but due to the so called developmental activities in the last decade all the wetlands are encroached and core areas of the wetlands are silted heavily, no more in the condition to perform as natural storage basin of rainwater. Consequently, Guwahati City usually sub-merge under flash flood water even for a short period's heavy rains.

wetlands are kidneys of landscape.... not only biodiversity, they help in cleaning of water, even heavy contaminants, recharge aquifers, retain floodwaters and many things are directly linked to wetlands.. even 2/3rd of world's fish harvest depend on health of wetlands!! So know them...

Wetlands are lands of wealth in terms of bio-diversity.

gr8! plz take action as soon as possible.. a little lethargic attitude can result into a big damage... first make a tream of 2 or 3, and have conversations with localites about it.. do it in your free time, but try to make people aware more about wetlands, and why it should be conserved.. take care that people should see some economical benefits also... things are very difficult when u start talking with people....its a great challenge for u.. just do it! 99 % people dont know what importance a wetland holds... let make a change... all the best..

Neha, we appreciate your concern for Udaisagar Lake. Do contact media persons. I am receiving regular calls from those persons to write on the issue. Unfortunately due to overburden of the work, I could not able to concentrate right now.

I request you to collect the youth team along with the Department of Environmental Sciences faculties and do send the protest letters to the local administration. Try to involve local public which will be great to put pressure on the policy makers.

But you know it will require patience. In the beginning no one will come with you. If you are taking leading then start it as one man army. Karvan to banta chala jayega.

Once you start let me know I will call all our force to support and join you in Udaipur. I along with Sarita will always be there with you.

All the best!

Exhibit of wild animals in Advertisements

In India many advertisers use wild animals on national TV to enthuse the audience. Is it not a crime? The use of animal gives a wrong signal to the viewers who consider animals to be for the entertainment of the masses. Already we are seeing a uncontrollable perilous environmental degradation from all quarters. Is it not high time that the govt curb the usage of animals in advt.

my son's interest in environment

It is very heartening to see enthusiastic parents like you who want to imbibe love for nature in their child.
As a child I think Salman can learn about the flora and fauna ( avian ) in and around his environment and in out country.
Once he starts learning, he will start appreciating the beauty of nature. As he grows old he will understand the environmental degradation caused by the greed of humans. Hopefully he will guide other youngsters to appreciate the beauty of nature.

The need of the hour…

my son's interest in environment

Dear Sir,

Reference my earlier email, sir i am once again requesting regarding salman's involvement in some or the other environment friendly group near talegaon dabhade. As an as he is learning new things in school regarding polution in air, water, destroying of trees etc he is getting emotional towards mother earth and wants to do some thing for it. Pls help as i want him to choose the right path from now onwards.

Rgds,

Shabana
