Ozone Day reminder; the ozone layer may be healing high above us, but the ozone we breathe at ground level remains a serious public health threat.
Kolkata’s experience shows why we cannot confuse these two very different problems. Ground level ozone is formed by pollution + sunlight & can harm our lungs. @WMWestBengal

I am thrilled to announce the start of a project to digitise a collection of rare photographs of terracotta monuments in Bengal. The photographs were taken by Dr George Michell in the 1980s for his seminal book "The Brick Temples of Bengal: From the Archives of David McCutchion".

The Wolf Child, 1889. In the Bulandshahr region of the Indian forests, there resided Dina Sanichar, a feral child of merely six years old. Sanichar lived amidst a wild wolf pack, adapting to their ways and partaking in their activities. This remarkable case serves as a vivid demonstration of the impact of environmental factors on human behavior. It exemplifies how the availability of resources, the upbringing environment, and the ability to adapt to surroundings during childhood can shape an individual's physical and mental abilities, ultimately ensuring survival.
The extraordinary narrative of Sanichar captivated the imagination of Rudyard Kipling, who drew inspiration from it for his renowned work, "The Jungle Book." Subsequently, Disney transformed this literary masterpiece into various cinematic adaptations.
