Global report stresses on role of wild animals, #rewilding in #wetland conservation
The study, released on #WorldWetlandsDay, outlines impactful evidence that reintroducing and protecting key wild animal species could be a game-changer in tackling #ClimateChange, #biodiversity loss, #InvasiveSpecies control, and #WaterSecurity challenges.

Excerpt: "A case study from #India led by Dr Samir Kumar Sinha, Chief Ecologist, Wildlife Trust of India, on the potential influences of #SarusCrane recovery on the wetland ecosystem services has recorded that the '#Sarus #crane holds cultural significance and thus provides cultural services in India. Its foraging behaviour – primarily digging for tubers and roots in muddy wetlands –creates ploughed patches that enhance plant diversity and support the growth of of less dominant plant species. The crane also benefits small-scale farming, as their nesting sites provide foundations for pioneer grasses instead of the typical reed and sedge, which allow the farmers to till, plough, and sow crops earlier,' the WTI said.
"The Ganges River basin hosts diverse wetlands vital for biodiversity, including the culturally significant but vulnerable Sarus crane, which depends on both natural and man-made wetlands. Habitat destruction has forced these cranes to breed in rice paddies, despite lower breeding success.
"The Sarus crane serves as a key indicator of wetland health. Conservation efforts in eastern #UttarPradesh by the #WildlifeTrustOfIndia have protected 700+ nests, leading to an 8 per cent annual population growth from 650 (2013) to 2,600 (2024)."

‘After Muslims, It’s The Turn Of Christians:’ With Little Evidence, UP Govt Prosecutes 4 Christian Institutions, Arrests Employees
Four Christian-run institutions in the Uttar Pradesh town of Fatehpur face criminal cases for alleged forcible conversion of Hindus, with over 200 accused, many arrested and imprisoned, under UP’s three-year-old anti-conversion law. Article 14 investigation reveals similar statements in four FIRs over nine months, police cases or raids on Christian institutions, based on illegal third-party or anonymous complaints. Simultaneously, the union government acted against the finances of one of these four institutions.
