2021-08-06 15:30:09 SUMATRAN RHINOS

Sumatran rhinos are the smallest rhinoceroses.

They are only Asian rhino with two horns.

While surviving in possibly greater numbers than the Javan rhino, Sumatran rhinos are more threatened due to habitat loss and fragmentation.

The Sumatran rhino once roamed as far away as the foothills of the Eastern Himalayas in Bhutan and eastern India, through Myanmar, Thailand, possibly to Vietnam and China, and south through the Malay Peninsula.

Recently, the last Sumatran rhinoceros in Malaysia died of cancer and hence is now extinct in Malaysia. The species is down to about 80 individuals, all living in Indonesia islands of Sumatra and Borneo. Open / Comment

2021-08-05 17:30:07 CORAL BLEACHING

When corals face stress by changes in conditions such as temperature, light, or nutrients, they expel the symbiotic algae zooxanthellae living in their tissues, causing them to turn completely white. This phenomenon is called coral bleaching.

The pale white colour is of the translucent tissues of calcium carbonate which are visible due to the loss of pigment producing zooxanthellae.

Coral bleaching is known to be responsible for killing approximately 18% of the world’s coral reefs. Open / Comment

2021-08-04 15:30:05 GREATER ONE-HORNED RHINO.

The greater one-horned rhino (or “Indian rhino”) is the largest of the rhino species. Rhino populations plummeted as they were hunted for sport or killed as agricultural pests.

This pushed the species very close to extinction and only around 200 wild greater one horned rhinos remained.

They primarily graze, with a diet consisting almost entirely of grasses as well as leaves, branches of shrubs and trees, fruit, and aquatic plants.

It is classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List.

The Great one horned rhino is commonly found in Nepal, Bhutan, Pakistan and in Assam, India. It is confined to the tall grasslands and forests in the foothills of the Himalayas. Open / Comment

Eco-Sensitive Zones (ESZs) or Ecologically Fragile Areas (EFAs) are areas notified by the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (MoEFCC), Government of India around Protected Areas, National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries.

The purpose of declaring ESZs is to create some kind of “shock absorbers” to the protected areas such as National Parks and Wildlife sanctuaries by regulating and managing the activities around such areas.

ESZ is notified under Section 3 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 by the Union Ministry of Environment and Forest.

Sanjay Gandhi National Park in Mumbai has been notified as Eco-sensitive zone. Open / Comment
