Two decades of indiscriminate exploitation for the pet trade, restricted range, fragmented populations and continuing decline in quality of habitats has resulted in their ‘Endangered’ listing. Here, we tested whether the isolated RLTB populations demonstrated considerable variation qualifying to be considered as distinct conservation targets. Multivariate morphometric analysis using 24 size-adjusted characters delineated all allopatric populations. Similarly, the species-tree highlighted a phylogeny with 12 distinct RLTB lineages corresponding to each of the different riverine populations.

A Survival Blueprint for the Cantor’s Giant Softshell Turtle Pelochelys cantorii in India. EDGE of Existence programme, Zoological Society of London, UK 1. STATUS REVIEW 1.1 Taxonomy: Class : Reptilia Order : Testudines Family : Trionychidae Genus : Pelochelys Species : Pelocheys cantorii (Gray, 1864) Common Name : Cantor’s Giant softshell turtle/ Asian Giant softshell turtle/ Local name : Bheemanama, Paala poovan (Malayalam) Synonyms: Pelochelys clivepalmeri (Hoser, 2014), P. cumingii (Gray, 1864), P. poljakowii (Strauch, 1890), P. telstraorum (Hoser, 2014), P. cantoris (Boulenger, 1889) Pelochelys cantorii (Gray, 1864) is one of the three species in the genus Pelochelys. The other two species are P. bibroni and P. signifera known only from Papua New Guinea and Indonesia (Papua), respectively. P. cantorii has a large distribution across south and south-east Asia (Das, 2008). It is among the largest freshwater turtles in the world with adults reaching a carapace length of around 100 cm (Das, 2008). Sexual dimorphism is present with males having longer and thicker tales than females; something common for other softshell turtles. Females are also larger in size than males (Das, 2008). According to the last IUCN Red List of threatened species assessment for the species, Pelochelys cantorii might hide a complex of several different species (ATTWG, 2000) A B Figure 1. An adult Pelochelys cantorii on the banks of Chandragiri river caught as by-catch in a fishing line (A), and a close-up head shot showing the keratinized sheath or “teeth” of the species (B).

  • Kerala Circus Academy
    ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 Folding the Tent: Kerala Circus Academy NISHA P R Vol. 49, Issue No. 2, 11 Jan, 2014 Nisha P R ([email protected]) is a PhD candidate at Department of History, University of Delhi. Merely three years after it came into being, the Kerala Circus Academy, the first circus academy in the country set up by the government of Kerala, is on the verge of closure due to lack of vision. If the government is serious about reviving this dying entertainment form, then a more concerted effort will have to be made. Anyone familiar with the history of Indian circus should find it quite appropriate that the first state owned circus academy in the country was established in Thalassery, North Kerala. Most of the acrobats, trainers and entrepreneurs in Indian circus over the past century have hailed from this part of the world. The Kerala Circus Academy was inaugurated on 2 August 2010 and started functioning in a rented building at Chirakkuni. The glaring irony lies in the fact that this building was a former cinema theatre; cinema, an art form often blamed for the impending “death” of Indian circus industry. Hardly three years into operation, this circus academy is now heading towards a closure; a closure for good.[1] History of Circus in India Circus training centres, known as circus kalaris, came into existence in North Malabar in the late nineteenth century. The legendary circus guru, Keeleri Kunhikannan Teacher, considered as one of the forefathers of Indian circus, and his illustrious disciples, Mannan Teacher and M K Raman, established circus kalaris where they trained men, women and children.

This land of rare natural beauty is steeped in history and culture, but it has still kept up with the times, Kerala has taken its tourism very seriously. It is not for nothing than that the Eden in these tropics; God’s own country was selected by National Geographic Traveler as one of its 50 “destination of life time”. When it comes to building a result oriented development programme, data collection is key in any sector. To capitalize the opportunity to effectively bench mark, it is essential to collect data’s concerned with the matter. In this context statistical analysis of tourist arrivals to a destination is gaining importance .We need to assess whether the development of destination is sufficient to meet the requirements of visiting tourists. Our plan of action should be executed in a meticulous manner on the basis of the statistical findings. Kerala Tourism Statistics 2019 is another effort in the continuing process of Kerala Tourism to keep a tab up-to-date data for timely action and effective planning, in the various fields concerned with tourism. I wish all success to this endeavor. Kadakampally Surendran MESSAGE Kerala Tourism has always attracted tourists, both domestic and foreign with its natural beauty and the warmth and hospitality of the people of Kerala.

History Kasaragod, the northernmost district of Kerala, is endowed with rich natural resources and is noted for its majestic forts, ravishing rivers, hills, green valleys and beautiful beaches. The rich and varied cultural heritage of the district is portrayed through spectacular presentations of Theyyam, Yakshagana, Poorakkali, Kolkali and Mappilappattu. Seven languages are prevalent in Kasaragod. Malayalam is the administrative language. Other languages are Kannada, Tulu, Konkani, Marati, Urdu and Beary.Prior to State reorganization, Kasaragod was part of the South Kanara district.Kasaragod became a part of Malabar district following the reorganization of States and formation of unified Kerala State. Later, Kasaragod Taluk of Malabar district was bifurcated in to Kasaragod and Hosdurg Taluks and integrated with the then newly formed Cannanore district. Kasaragod became part of Kerala following the re-organization of states and formation of Kerala in 1st November 1956.The district was Kasaragod Taluk in Kannur District.The formation of Kasaragod district was a long felt ambition of the people.It is with the intention of bestowing maximum attention on the development of backward area, Kasaragod district was formed on 24th May,1984 as per GO (MS)No.520/84/RD, Dated 19.05.1984 by taking Kasaragod and Hosdurg taluks from the then Kannur district.The name Kasaragod is said to be derived from the word Kasaragod which means Nuxvemied Forest(Kanjirakuttam). 1.2.

According to one view “ Kannur” is the variation of Kanathur, an ancient village, the name of which survive even today in ont! of the wards of Canna­ nore MunicipaUty. Perhaps, like several other ancient towns of Kerala, Cannanore also is named after one of the deities of the Hindu Pantheon. Thus “ Kannur” is the compound of the two words ‘Kannan’ meaning Lord Kris;hna, and TJr’ meaning place, the place of Lord Krishna, Short history of Cannanore Cannanore, the northernmost district of Kerala State, is constituted of territories which formed part of the erst­ while district ol' Malabar and South Ganara, prior to the rc-organisation of the States in 1956. Cannanore district was formed on January 1, 1957 by trifurcating the erstwhile Malabar district of the former Madras State. The district has a distinct history of its own which is in many rcspects independent of the history of other regions oi the State.
