Snow leopards share their high-altitude habitat with local communities.
India’s conservation efforts include community involvement and support for livelihoods alongside protection of snow leopard ecosystems.
#InternationalSnowLeopardDay
To study snow leopards across India’s high mountains, field teams walked 13,450 km of survey trails and set camera traps at 1,971 locations.
A vast landscape, studied one sign, image and route at a time.

A journey to India through 23 countries!
Having started from their breeding areas in northeastern China 11 days ago, the two Amur Falcons Apapang and Alang arrived in Manipur yesterday. This marks the successful completion of their nearly year-long tracking and also their round-trip journey back to Manipur since tagging by scientists of WII in November 2025; travelling through 23 countries on their journey across Africa and Asia, the Amur Falcons are truly global citizens.
The two Amur falcons are expected to now make a two to three week stopover at select sites in the beautiful mountainous tracts of Tamenglong district in Manipur, where local people now eagerly wait for their return year after year and protect the falcons. Feasting on the termites emerging in and around their stopover sites the Amurs will put on fat reserves that is critical for their next leg of migration, which will be a 6-day nonstop flight of nearly 6000 km from here to Somalia that also includes a 3000 km Arabian Sea crossing. The Amur Falcons are truly remarkable for their migration journeys.
On #InternationalSnowLeopardDay, let’s celebrate these magnificent big cats and reaffirm our commitment to protecting their habitat and preserving the rich biodiversity of our mountains.

HMEFCC Shri @byadavbjp addressed the @FollowCII Circular Economy Conference in Delhi today.
He highlighted how, under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji, India has adopted a ‘whole-of-government’ approach to advancing the circular economy by creating an enabling ecosystem for all stakeholders.
With clear policy direction, including the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2026, and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) frameworks, the focus is on translating policy intent into meaningful action.
As of October 12, 2026, over 86,043 producers and 4,880 recyclers are registered under various EPR frameworks. Through these collective efforts, nearly 499.60 lakh metric tonnes of waste have been processed across regulated waste streams, with over 435.043 lakh metric tonnes covered through EPR certificate generation.

Electronic devices contain materials that can be recovered, but improper disposal can also release hazardous substances.
Responsible recycling helps protect both natural resources and the environment.

Today's #RamsarSpotlight takes us to Chhari-Dhand in Gujarat.
Its very name captures the landscape. In Kutchi, ‘Chhari’ means salty and ‘Dhand’ means shallow wetland.
On the edge of the Rann of Kutch, even the name tells a story of the land.
