The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) announced that 10 more wetlands from India have been added to the Ramsar list. Ramsar Convention on Wetlands The Ramsar list identiies wetlands around the world that are important for global biological diversity and sustaining human life, and provides guidance on their proper management. This initiative is governed by the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, an intergovernmental treaty that provides a framework for the conservation and wise use of all wetlands through local and national actions and international cooperation. It was oficially adopted in the 1970s in the Iranian town of Ramsar. New Ramsar sites of India The new Ramsar sites of India are in three states — Uttar Pradesh (Nawabganj, Parvati Agra, Saman, Samaspur, Sandi and Sarsai Nawar), Maharashtra (Nandur Madhameshwar) and Punjab (Keshopur-Miani, Beas Conservation Reserve and Nangal). This brings the total number of Ramsar sites in India to 37, with lakes such as the Chilika in Odisha and Kolleru in Andhra Pradesh, the Sundarbans area — which also happens to be located within one of the latest mangrove ecosystems in the world — and river sections like the Upper Ganga already in the list. Aram.Academy.IAS aramias_academy aram_ias_academy aimcivilservices aramiasacademy.com 2. WETLANDS (CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT) RULES, 2019 Why in news? The Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change notiied guidelines for implementing the Wetlands (Conservation and Management) Rules, 2019. The Rules constitute various bodies for the conservation of wetlands and deine their powers and functions As per the Wetlands Rules, the Wetlands Authority within a state is the nodal authority for all wetland-speciic authorities in a state/UT. Functions of the authority: Preparing a list of all wetlands in the state/UT and recommending wetlands for regulation under the Rules Developing a comprehensive list of activities to be regulated and permitted within the notiied wetlands, and Issuing necessary directions for the conservation and sustainable management of wetlands to the respective implementing agencies Prohibited activities : as per the guidelines following activities are prohibited on wetlands. These include: Setting up any industry and expansion of existing industries Dumping solid waste or discharge of untreated wastes and efluents from industries and any human settlements, and Encroachment or conversion for non-wetlands uses. Other Features The guidelines recommend the state/UT administration to prepare a Integrated Management Plan for the management of each notiied wetland. The plan refers to a document which: Describes strategies and actions for use of the wetland Gives monitoring requirements for detecting changes in the ecological character of the wetland, and Ensures compliance with regulatory frameworks and policy commitments Enforcing the rules: The Wetlands Authorities are responsible for ensuring the enforcement of the Wetlands Rules and other relevant acts, rules and regulations. Penalties: Undertaking any prohibited or regulated activities beyond the thresholds (deined by the state/UT administration) in the wetlands or its zone of inluence, will be deemed violations under the Wetlands Rules. Violation of the Rules will attract penalties as per the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. Aram.Academy.IAS aramias_academy aram_ias_academy aimcivilservices aramiasacademy.com 3. COP 13 ON CONSERVATION OF MIGRATORY SPECIES (CMS) Why in news? The Thirteenth Meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS COP13) concluded in Gandhinagar, Gujarat. The theme of CMS COP-13 is ‘Migratory species connect the planet and we welcome them home’. The mascot for CMS COP-13 is ‘Gibi – The Great Indian Bustard’. It is a critically endangered species (according to the IUCN) and has been accorded the highest protection status (listed in Schedule I) under the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. The CMS COP 13 logo is inspired by ‘Kolam’, a traditional art form from s outhern India. In the logo of CMS COP-13, Kolam art form is used to depict key migratory species in India like Amur falcon, humpback whale and marine turtles. The Indian sub-continent is also part of the major bird lyway network, i.e, the Central Asian Flyway (CAF) that covers areas between the Arctic and Indian Oceans, and covers at least 279 populations of 182 migratory waterbird species, including 29 globally threatened species. Ten new species were added to CMS Appendices at COP13. Seven species were added to Appendix I: Asian Elephant, Jaguar, Great Indian Bustard, Bengal Florican, Little Bustard, Antipodean Albatross and the Oceanic White-tip Shark. Three species were added to Appendix II: Urial, Smooth Hammerhead Shark and the Tope Shark. New and extended Concerted Actions with targeted conservation plans were agreed for 14 species. CMS COP13 also adopted the Gandhinagar Declaration, which calls for the concept of ‘ecological connectivity’ to be integrated and prioritized in the new Framework, which is expected to be adopted at the UN Biodiversity Conference in October. India, as COP13 host, will assume the role of COP Presidency for the next three years. India has been a Party to the CMS since 1983. The Conference of Parties (COP) is the decision-making organ of this convention. Aram.Academy.IAS aramias_academy aram_ias_academy aimcivilservices aramiasacademy.com Migratory species are those animals that move from one habitat to another during different times of the year, due to various factors such as food, sunlight, temperature, climate, etc. The movement between habitats can sometimes exceed thousands of miles/kilometres for some migratory birds and mammals. A migratory route can involve nesting and also requires the availability of habitats before and after each migration. Conservation of Migratory Species (CMS) In order to protect the migratory species throughout their range countries, a Convention on Conservation of Migratory Species (CMS), has been in force, under the aegis of the United Nations Environment Programme. Also referred to as the Bonn Convention, it provides a global platform for the conservation and sustainable use of migratory animals and their habitats and brings together the States through which migratory animals pass, the Range States, and lays the legal foundation for internationally coordinated conservation measures throughout a migratory range. The convention complements and co-operates with a number of other international organizations, NGOs and partners in the media as well as in the corporate sector. Under this convention, migratory species threatened with extinction are listed on Appendix I and Parties strive towards strictly protecting these animals, conserving or restoring the places where they live, mitigating obstacles to migration and controlling other factors that might endanger them. Migratory species that need or would signiicantly beneit from international co- operation are listed in Appendix II of the Convention. India has also signed a non-legally binding MOU with CMS on the conservation and management of Siberian Cranes (1998), Marine Turtles (2007), Dugongs (2008) and Raptors (2016).

  • Sisir Kumar Mitra
    SISIR KUMAR MITRA SISIR KUMARMITRA was born in Calcutta on October 24, 1890 Parentage and Early Life His father Joykrishna Mitra belonged to an orthodox Hindu family of Konnagar, a township near Calcutta in the district of Hooghly in West Bengal. His mother, Sarat Kumari, came from a Brahmo family of Midnapur, well-known for its liberal outlook and progressive ideas. Though brought up in a family of conservatives, Joykrishna was attracted from his boyhood to the liberal doctrines of the Brahmosamaj. Against the wishes of his father, Joykrishna married Sarat Kumari in 1818 according to Brahmosamaj rites and, as was to be expected in those days, had to sever social connections with his paternal family. He left Konnagar and shifted to Midnapore where he lived for about a decade and begot three children-two sons and one daughter. In 1889, Joykrishna moved with his whole family to Calcutta and took up the profession of a school teacher. By all means, female education was not the order of the day, for the orthodox Hindus did not like sending their womenfolk to schools and colleges. Further, Joykrishna's income was too small to enable him to maintain his family. Notwithstanding all these, he got his wife admitted to the Campbell Medical School for medical education. This bold step bears testimony to his great strength of mind and progressive outlook, which he might have gathered by his close association with eminent persons like Pandit Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar, Pandit Shiv Nath Shastry and Babu Bipin Chandra Pal. Sisir Kumar was born when his mother Sarat Kumari was still a student in the Campbell Medical School.

  • KALPATHY RAMAKRISHNA RAMANATHAN (1 893-1 984) Foundation Fellow
    KALPATHY RAMAKRISHNA RAMANATHAN (1 893-1 984) Foundation Fellow KALPATHYRAMAKRISHNA RAMANATHAN was born in a brahmin family in the Kalpathy Village, Palghat, Kerala State on February 28, 1893. Ramanathan's ancestors came from Singanallur in Coimbatore district of Tamil Nadu. It appears that Ramanathan's grandfather's mother trekked all the way from Singanallur across the Western Ghats to Kalpathy, where her brother was a priest, to settle there once for all. At that time there were several tamilian brahmin families settled in many villages, in and around Palghat, where they were treated as respected citizens because of their scholar- ship and piety. Rarnanathan's father, Ramakrishna Sastrigal was an erudite scholar well-versed in Sanskrit, Tamil, and Malayalam. He was also a good astrologer, so that he was often referred to as Josier Ramakrishna lyer. He used to hold learned discourses in the Puranas, Upanishads and the Vedangas. They were attended by the local elite. Ramakrishna Sastrigal held such discourses in Tamil Nadu, the then States of Travancore and Cochin, and at several places in Karnataka, Maharashtra, and even in Gujarat. He had an innovative mind. He arranged for the publication of several of the Sanskrit books with annot ations in Tamil by collecting prepublication subscrip- tions. He started a press of his own while his colleagues and students worked as type-setters and proof-readers in the afternoons. Ramanathan took part in all such activities and, thus imbibed an innovative mind. Ramakrishna Sastrigal had a large number of students who learnt Sanskrit, Jyotisha and other Vedangas from him, of course, without any remuneration.

  • Sisir Kumar Mitra, Scientific Achievements and the Fellowship of the Royal Society of London
    Indian Journal of History of Science, 52.4 (2017) 407-419 DOI: 10.16943/ijhs/2017/v52i4/49264 Sisir Kumar Mitra, Scientific Achievements and the Fellowship of the Royal Society of London Rajinder Singh* (Received 01 October 2017) Abstract Sisir Kumar Mitra (1890-1963) was a Bengal based Professor of Physics at the University of Calcutta. He was the founder of ionospheric science and radio technology in India. He was one of the few physicists, whose names are connected with the Physics Nobel Prize and the Fellowship of Royal Society London. He was associated with various scientific institutions such as Indian National Science Academy, Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science and Asiatic Society of Bengal. In spite of high reputation and international achievements, little is written on him. The present communication gives: (i) a short review of S K Mitra’s scientific work in the fields of optics, which he did under C V Raman, and (ii) S K Mitra’s scientific achievements for which he was nominated and elected for the Fellowship of the Royal Society of London. Key words: C V Raman, D-layer, FRS, Ionosphere, M N Saha, Nobel Prize, S K Mitra. 1. INTRODUCTION S K Mitra had been one of the most successful Indian scientists. His contemporary M N Saha gave him credit in initiating ionospheric science (Saha, 1938, pp. 674-741), and as founder of ionosphere science1 and radio technology in history of science in India. His nomination to Physics Nobel Prize (Table 1) and election to Fellowship of the Royal Society of London (Table 2) also justifies these statements.
