  • Kisan Swaraj Yatra
    ” “KISAN SWARAJ YATRA – Sabarmati to Rajghat ‘Kisan Ki mazbooti mein hi desh ki mazbooti’ ‘Krishi Bache, Kisan Bache, Desh bache’ An outreach effort across India towards self-reliant, ecological farming and for securing farming communities’ rights – October 2 nd – December 11 th , 2010 Jal, Jangal, Zameen aur BEEJ (Water, Forest, Land & SEED) – the basic common resources that have always belonged to people who acted as the resource-savers and resource- keepers – are in great jeopardy today. These are the basic resources which are pre-requisites for the sustainable livelihoods of millions of Indians. Along with these resources, the very lives of our fellow citizens are perched precariously, mired in unconscionable poverty, hunger, lack of basic rights and any assertive power. While unsuitable (market-driven, anti-nature, ‘treadmill’) technologies have degraded and contaminated these resources over the decades, a more basic concern is around the appropriation of these resources by the State and commercial interests, posing a serious question on the fundamental rights for all citizens of India and on the very vision (or lack of it) for Sustainable Development for all. It is no surprise that we are all a witness to thousands of farmers committing suicides, given that key members of our government articulate a vision that would like to see only 15% of Indians in rural areas soon! It is a matter of shame that in a country where nearly 70% of the population is still connected with farming and food production, rural hunger and starvation is also very high. Worse, the people who are producing food to feed the entire nation are committing suicides in lakhs and are demoralized with their self-respect being eroded constantly, while the industry and sections of the government are gloating about the business opportunities presented by agriculture in India! As we are conversing, the largest displacement ever in our history is happening from agriculture….., with not even basic social security assured for those who are fleeing and are being displaced.

  • Elephant Escapades Audience Activity Designed for 10 Years Old and Up
    Elephant Escapades Audience Activity designed for 10 years old and up Goal Students will learn the differences between the African and Asian elephants, as well as, how their different adaptations help them survive in their habitats. Objective • To understand elephant adaptations • To identify the differences between African and Asian elephants Conservation Message Elephants play a major role in their habitats. They act as keystone species which means that other species depend on them and if elephants were removed from the ecosystem it would change drastically. It is important to understand these species and take efforts to encourage the preservation of African and Asian elephants and their habitats. Background Information Elephants are the largest living land animal; they can weigh between 6,000 and 12,000 pounds and stand up to 12 feet tall. There are only two species of elephants; the African Elephants and the Asian Elephant. The Asian elephant is native to parts of South and Southeast Asia. While the African elephant is native to the continent of Africa. While these two species are very different, they do share some common traits. For example, both elephant species have a trunk that can move in any direction and move heavy objects. An elephant’s trunk is a fusion, or combination, of the nose and upper lip and does not contain any bones. Their trunks have thousands of muscles and tendons that make movements precise and give the trunk amazing strength. Elephants use their trunks for snorkeling, smelling, eating, defending themselves, dusting and other activities that they perform daily. Another common feature that the two elephant species share are their feet.

  • Hot Spring Puddling by Butterflies
    Ecologica Montenegrina 31: 46-49 (2020) This journal is available online at: www.biotaxa.org/em http://dx.doi.org/10.37828/em.2020.31.10 Hot spring puddling by butterflies YULIA S. KOLOSOVA*, OLGA V. AKSENOVA, ILYA V. VIKHREV & IVAN N. BOLOTOV N. Laverov Federal Center for Integrated Arctic Research of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Northern Dvina Emb. 23, 163000, Arkhangelsk, Russia *Corresponding author: [email protected] Received: 2 May 2020│ Accepted by V. Pešić: 20 May 2020 │ Published online: 23 May 2020. Puddling behavior of butterflies and moths is a well-known phenomenon driven by a deficit of several minerals and nutrients in larval and imago diet, especially sodium and proteins (Arms et al. 1974; Adler 1982; Boggs and Jackson 1991; Beck et al. 1999; John & Tennent 2012; Inoue et al. 2012). In particular, sodium and albumin were found to be the most attractive puddling resources for tropical butterflies on Borneo based on the results of a long-term experimental study (Beck et al. 1999). This kind of behavior is more characteristic for males, while female butterfly puddling occurs only occasionally (Beck et al. 1999; Adler & Pearson 1982; Scriber 1987, 2002; John & Tennent 2012; John & Dennis 2019). Male puddling could increase reproductive success in butterflies because minerals and nutrients are transferred through the spermatophore at mating (Boggs & Gilbert 1979; Pivnick & McNeil 1987; Smedley & Eisner 1996; Dennis et al. 2014; Mitra et al. 2016). It was shown that another purpose of puddling by males of swallowtail butterflies is to excrete excessive potassium (Inoue et al.
