My house overlooks an MPA. Waking up to see a #scallop #dredger <100m from the shore, my blood boils 😠 It's been #dredging back & forth all morning. It's not the 1st time & won't be the last. Where's the 'P' in MPA? This has to stop @scotgov & @Torcuil for the sake of 🐬🦭🦞🐳🐙

A big shout out to the Coimbatore Forest Division team,Tamil Nadu which worked 24*7 to revive a sick wild Female elephant found lying in lateral recumbency position unable to get up. It was heartbreaking to see her 3 months old baby roaming around her in distress. The team has lifted the elephant with a crane to make her stand and provided all necessary treatment. Mother elephant is doing well and her baby is happily feeding. Though the elephant is doing well,we need to watch out for her health. Very proud of your work CF Ramasubramanian, DFO Jeyaraj, Vets Dr Sukumar, Dr Rajesh and Dr Priyanka. Range officers Arun and Thirumurugan and all other forest staff #TNForest #Elephants

A beautiful elephant family sleeps blissfully somwhere in deep jungles of the Anamalai Tiger Reserve in Tamil Nadu. Observe how the baby elephant is given Z class security by the family. Also how the young elephant is checking the presence of other family members for reassurance. So similar to our own families isn't it

This video breaks my heart what is #linear infrastructure doing to our wild spaces #elephants and what an unnecessary barrier to create
Heartwarming scene as a baby elephant receives a helping trunk from its mother to cross a road side crash barrier. Their bond and teamwork exemplify the strength of family in the wild. Let's ensure their paths are safe. @wii_india @vrtiwari1 @rameshpandeyifs @bhlab_india
