BIOPHILIC STATEMENT July 2020 Naturally Biophilic Visakhapatnam BIOPHILIC STATEMENT July 2020 Naturally Biophilic Visakhapatnam Vishakhapatnam also knowns as Vizag in east India, is a naturally biophilic city nestled between the Bay of Bengal and the lush Eastern Ghats. A prolific city and a tourist destination of its state Andhra Pradesh, its population is roughly 2 million people in an urban area of 240 square miles. It is a rich, biodiverse region with plentiful forest cover, an 83-mile-long coastline with many beaches visited by over 300,000 locals and tourists each month. It’s rural sphere of influence over 4000 square miles, is mostly green. Visakhapatnam’s international port is India’s 5th busiest port. The fishing sector is made up of 63 coastal villages. Vizag has been resilient; however, this decade made global warming evident by season in the onslaught of typhoons and ensuing persistent drought. Vizag is exposed to greater pandemic potential based on its strategic location and culture. Protecting the City’s biodiversity - its plant and animal species and their habitats can extend its coastal resiliency. In Support of Biophilic Visakhapatnam Significant work in species and habitat protection is on for over 4 decades in Vizag. The organization that has taken upon itself to be answerable for the region’s biophilic beauty and resilience via its animal and plant species is “Visakha Society for the Protection and Care of Animals,” or VSPCA-India1. Several programs (e.g. animal birth control and annual rabies vaccinations, asepsis training for government vets, etc.) are in place for Vizag’s domestic animals – dogs, cats and cattle, keeping human health and wellbeing in mind, while ensuring animals are embraced as members of urban society. Plans for “dog parks” across Vizag are in discussion with government authorities, while legislation to address the closure of pedigreed puppy “mills” is in review. January through June, VSPCA works on protecting 35 miles of the coastline by building ex-situ sea turtle hatcheries, employing fishermen in the work of the Olive Ridley sea turtle conservation. Despite Amphan typhoon’s onslaught, this year saw over 64,000 Lepidochelys olivacea vulnerable sea turtle babies return safely to sea. This program drew world attention to the endangerment of the Olive Ridley and shone light on the sea turtle’s habitat and needs. Pending further research, the health and environmental impacts from steadily increasing turtle populations over two decades on the ocean itself, and on the resident human and nonhuman populations can be better understood. The Lepidochelys olivacea is a symbolic “spokesperson” of this region. Bridging land and sea, it travels far across the oceans and comes back to nest here in large numbers – affecting marine life deep in the oceans, as well as onshore bird and animal species of the Bay of Bengal. This year saw juvenile mothers nest in Vizag’s beaches - a recently observed phenomenon. Positive impacts from sea turtle conservation are resounding: corporates mitigating pollution practices; residents involved in beach cleanup and being proud of Vizag’s sea turtle conservation (note the dogs from the sea turtle conservation team in the group), universities getting involved bringing science to residents and youth, and more. 1 Visakha Society for Protection and Care of Animals (Regd.No. 865/96) Recognized by Animal Welfare Board of India, Union Ministry of Environment and Forest, New Delhi. Regd. Office: #26-15-200, Main Road, Visakhapatnam -530-001. Aligning VSPCA Goals to Visakhapatnam’s Smart City Mission Vizag’s Smart Mission documents aim for: - A Vibrant City: Building upon the ongoing initiatives of beach beautification, shore protection projects, a vibrant Vizag will tap into its tourism potential capitalizing on open spaces along beach, beach front, prominent parks, land forms and natural resources. - A Connected and Green City: Vizag will ensure that development pressures on land will not lead to reduction of green spaces but rather growth of city in terms of development or increase in population will result in proportional increase of green spaces. City will continue to focus on ongoing initiatives of tree plantation, will focus on transformation of underutilized open spaces into active parks and playgrounds. The Smart City Vision speaks to a: - A Healthy and Livable City: Vizag to emerge as a healthy and livable city ensuring its citizens have healthy lifestyle choices; have walkable access to parks/playgrounds; have safe mobility choices of walking and cycling; and more. - A Resilient City: Vizag to emerge stronger to withstand the 21st Century challenges of Climate Change. The recent flooding and cyclones like Hud-Hud are strong indicators where threats from un-monitored urbanization and climate change is real. VSPCA’s Strategic and Tactical work is focused on addressing Vizag’s weaknesses and threats, while leveraging opportunities and aims pointed out in its Smart City plan: Goal 1. Focus on the natural behavior of animals. Remain original in our thinking in order to retain the natural beauty and habitat for Vizag’s native animals (including domestic, feral, urban-wild, migratory) and plants. When people refer to Visakhapatnam in a span of 5 years, they speak to Vizag’s efforts in its biophilic journey. Their references reflect nature, species, animal-human co-existence, natural habitats and animal assimilation into city life: Examples: “The city that has dogs in sea turtle conservation?!” “The city of dog parks?” Goal 1. Objectives A. Establish natural Rain Water Harvesting at Kindness Farm to address flooding and extended periods of drought, and in the process support local food production, native planting and native wildlife (include migratory species.) B. Strive to expand the areas of Kindness Farm and Narsipatnam promoting plant-based and earth- based living. C. Provide drinking water facilities across Vizag to street animals and put out more bowls with more frequent fresh water fills, during summer months. D. Extend Sea Turtle Lepidochelys olivacea Conservation Campaign and Habitat Protection to cover 133 Km of Vizag’s Coastline. a) Extend employment to 25 more fishermen in the next 2 years – to build and safeguard the sea turtle hatcheries and sea turtle eggs. b) Address pollution caused by shrimp farms and industries bordering Vizag coast such as pharmaceuticals and metal-production. Work with the community gaining support to lobby against hazardous industries. c) Empower fishing community and work toward Marine Protected Areas2 in the ocean. Begin with organized temporary (e.g. octopus) fishery closures as a pathway to longer term management. Closures by season allow for specified fish the time to increase in size and reproduce. d) Continue to research and to plan to address the exploitation of shark species (including the magnificent whale shark that travels these waters). E. Provide seasonal protection for migratory bird species along coastal marshes. This implies lobbying Steel Plants to protect their extensive and dense wild lands in marshes and forests on the outskirts of Vizag. F. Continue Cattle Respect Program and cattle protection comprehensively and innovatively. This animal is such an important part of society and of human faith. G. Continue Street Dog Protection Program and campaign conducting spays/neuter, vaccinations, and obtaining lands across urban Vizag for “Dog Parks” - as a measure of decent homes for the justified living of dogs in human society, creating greater awareness and engagement with the resident communities. Educate residents of the potential of now-living street dogs, integrating strays into society as guard dogs for businesses, dogs as part of sea turtle team and dogs as service and 2 Marine Protected Area: https://www.europarc.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/IUCN_Guidelines_MPAs.pdf therapeutic companions. Work with government legislators to shut down pedigreed-animal breeding mills. Encourage Indian Stray Dog Adoption Fairs. H. Continue Feral Cat Protection and No Cat Meat campaigns. Continue conducting spays/neuter and necessary feral-cat veterinary care, and providing “Cat Houses” as a measure of decent homes for the justified living of cats in society creating awareness. Encourage Cat Adoption Fairs. I. Design ‘Humane Gardens’ providing once-lost habitats, bringing back and sustaining native butterflies and other pollinators. J. Provide bird habitats in Vizag (from planting native trees to constructing aviaries for rescued birds). Goal 2. Heightened awareness of plant-based living as a planetary health imperative and, of the inherent value of animals as: - our common humanity, extended family, extended culture and our sense of beauty and peace. Goal 2. Objectives Reduce factory-produced animal meat for human consumption. Work towards making Vizag the Vegan Capital of Andhra Pradesh. Expand Vegan-Oriented Programs: A. Expand Homeless Vegan Meals Program. B. Pursue Vegan Awareness Campaigns across Vizag. C. Expand Simhachalan Calves Program as part of the Cattle Respect Program. D. Pursue Vegan Franchises. Offer the residents of Vizag alternative animal-meat foods and milk. E. Demonstrate and encourage growing native rice, wheat and millets. Replenish soil via native crop rotation, encourage nitrogen fixing and use only organic vermicomposting and fertilizer made from rescued cattle. F. Plan for Vegan-Farm-to-Table restaurant at Narsipatnam in collaboration with government and locals. Goal 3. Conscientious Education, Awareness and Outreach for Biodiversity Sustenance across Vizag: Goal 3. Objectives Educate with the aim that residents across Vizag comprehend that the city’s biodiversity is their heirloom to nurture and pass on as a legacy to the next generation: A. Expand Student Cadet Law Enforcement Environment Program. B. Host Meetups: Stray Animal Adoption Fairs, Humane Gardens Exhibit, Community Health and Nature Visits at Kindness Farm - speaking to roles of Animals and Plants in society, etc. C.

Jagannadha Rao, Greeshma Gireesh A.G., P. Avatharam1, N.C. Anil2 and T. Karuna Karudu Delta Studies Institute, 1Dept of Geology, 2Dept. of Geo-Engineering, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam. ABSTRACT An attempt has been made to study and record the diverse coastal geomorphic features along Visakhapatnam – Bhimunipatnam coast. The study area is marked by geomorphic features resulted from various coastal and land ward processes. The geomorphic units under different heads namely, features formed by present day wave action, features formed due to sea level oscillations and features formed by rock and sea water interaction have been presented. The influence of sea level oscillations and land and sea interaction forms a diverse coastal geomorphology along the coast. The details of features such as beach, dune system, inter tidal deposits, red sediments, wave cut platform, marine terrace, sea stack, sea cave, serpent hood structures, promontories, wind gap and natural bridge have been recorded and the formation as well as significance of their occurrence are presented. The coastal geomorphology of the study area clearly established not only the sea level oscillations but also variations in climatic conditions in this part of the coast. INTRODUCTION PHYSIOGRAPHY Coastal geomorphology by definition is the study of The study area is characterized by Eastern Ghat the morphological development and evolution of the mobile belt. This area covered with denudational coast as it acts under the influence of winds, waves, hills of range between 30 to 594m above mean currents and sea level changes.

  • 1. Dialects Telugu Is Spoken in Andhra Pradesh State, Which Consists of 23 Districts
    Language Specific Peculiarities Document for TELUGU as Spoken in INDIA Telugu is the most widely spoken language of the Dravidian family. It is one of the five officially designated classical languages of India. 1. Dialects Telugu is spoken in Andhra Pradesh state, which consists of 23 districts. These districts can be divided into three regions: Coastal Andhra (9 districts), Rayalaseema (4 districts) and Telangana (10 districts). There are four major dialect areas spread over these regions. Northern dialects are spoken in Telangana; Southern dialects are spoken in Rayalaseema and the two southernmost districts of Coastal Andhra; and the Eastern dialects are spoken in the three northern districts of Coastal Andhra. A set of Central dialects is spoken in the four middle districts of Coastal Andhra, at the meeting place of the three regions. The table below lists the major dialects of Andhra Pradesh based on geographical distribution. Dialect region Districts or Cities Guntur, Krishna, East Godavari and West Central (Standard) Godavari East Visakhapatnam, Vijayanagaram, Srikakulam Nellore, Prakasham, Cuddapah (Kadapa), South Kurnool, Chittoor, Anantapur North Ten different Telangana districts Standard Telugu is spoken in Central Andhra (Guntur, Krishna, East Godavari and West Godavari). Unlike some other Indian languages, Telugu does not have a sharp diglossia between its spoken form and its formal written variety. The standard written form is a close match with the standard central dialects. Appen collected data from each of the four dialect regions listed in the table above: Central, East, South, and North. The dialects of Srikakulam (which borders the region of Orissa) and Adilabad (one of the Telangana dialects, bordering the region of Maharashtra) are considered to be mutually unintelligible with the standard dialect and were not collected.

  • Pattern of Development in India - a Study of Andhra Pradesh
    Pattern of Development in India - A Study of Andhra Pradesh SER Division Planning Commission Government of India Main Findings of the Study Andhra Pradesh was formed on 1st November 1956. It comprises of Coastal Andhra, Rayalaseema and Telangana regions. Each region has its own distinct characteristics. It is the fifth largest state in terms of the area in our country. There is significant improvement in literacy level of the rural population during 1990's. But the employment opportunities have not improved. As a result, there is huge stock of educated unemployed constituting both male and female in rural areas of Andhra Pradesh. Although, the state has achieved remarkable progress in establishing schools, Junior Colleges and Degree colleges during 1980-81 and 2000-01, most of them were in private sector. The number of high schools increased from 4106 to 10,359, Junior Colleges 398 to 2449, Degree Colleges 450 to 1157 during the same time. There is marketisation of education in Andhra Pradesh in recent years. Only the elite class children could reap the benefits of private education. 113 The economy of the state is basically agrarian in character. The percentage of irrigated area is very low i.e., below 40 percent. The plan allocations by the state Government for irrigation had been declining from plan to plan. Though the state is well endowed with natural resources and minerals, it is lagging behind other states in the country with regard to per capital income, literacy level and other parameters. There is no significant improvement in the number of hospitals/ dispensaries available in the state during 1980-81 and 2000-01.
