Ejaculation not only damages property, but also many natural resources disappear, it is not even noticed. In one such case, a group of pilgrims participating in the Ma Nanda Devi Lokjat Yatra in Chamoli, Uttarakhand noticed shrinkage and changes in the Rupkund lake and the system was activated. The tank, which was covered with debris and stones. And this issue has become a hot topic of discussion among the emerging environmental groups. Incidentally, forest department personnel were also with these pilgrims. Photos taken by these employees in June and then during a trip in September showing a clear difference in the size of the Roop Kund lake raised the issue. The area around Roopkund Lake is found to be filled with landslide debris and silt, which has reduced the surface area of the lake. Badrinath Forest Division District Forest Officer S.K. Dubey confirmed the incident. Roopkund Lake, located at an altitude of 4,763 meters, is usually accustomed to light rains during the monsoons, followed by snowfall. However, it rains more here at this time. This whole area is naturally very eco-friendly. The rains have also caused landslides, the debris of which has accumulated around the lake. Roopkund is an important halting point for pilgrims on the pilgrimage to Maa Nanda Devi. It is known for ancient bones and skeletons found here. This small bowl-shaped lake, which usually freezes over when the snow melts around September after the monsoon, is still boneless. Research has indicated that these skeletons belong to a large group of 300-700 individuals who died near the lake during an ice storm about 1,200 years ago. Now coming back to the Kund debate, Manish Mehta, senior scientist and glaciologist at Wadia Institute, says, 'Rupkund Lake was probably an ancient bowl-shaped lake, formed by the Cirque Glacier. The lake has shrunk due to activities like avalanches, rockfalls and landslides in the surrounding area. In addition, the loss of ice brings less water into the lake.' Now 'nature ambassador' to protect species in London Appointed the first Nature Envoy of K., which will focus on creating a global agreement on halting the unsustainable decline of wild species. Ruth Davis, the new Special Representative for Nature, is in Colombia for the start of two weeks of crucial talks. which will decide the global response to the biodiversity crisis. The UK has played a key role in such efforts in the past, and Davis also helped with global pledges on deforestation. The U. held in Glasgow in the year 2021. N. One of the main outcomes of the COP 26 Climate Summit was Davies said the government has recognized that ecosystems and the species they support. It is essential to maintain food security, reduce health risks and manage the impacts of rising global temperatures. For whose protection this step has been taken. Kaziranga Butterfly hub famous for rhino Assam's Kaziranga National Park, famous for its one-horned rhinoceros population, has proved to be the hub of butterfly diversity, after Arunachal Pradesh's Namdapha National Park. Years of research by Monsoon Jyoti Gogoi, a young scientist from Kaziranga, has proven that more than 446 species of butterflies have been recorded from the park. Gogoi, who has been studying butterflies in the region since 2007, presented the detailed research behind it at the first 'Butterfly Conservation Meet-2024' held in September this year. Apart from the National Park, the 'Panbari Reserve Forest' in Kaziranga is also home to a diverse range of butterfly species. In a new illustrated guide book on butterflies by Gogoi, 446 species of butterflies recorded in Kaziranga, of which 18 are proven to be new to India. New records include Burmese Thriering, Glassy Cerulean, Dark-bordered Hedge Blue, Andaman Yellow Banded Flat, Ferrer's Cerulean, Great Red-vane Lancer, Peacock Oakblue, Single-Lined Flash, Yellow Tailed Oakling, White Palm Bob, Dark Dusted Palm Dart, Clavette Includes Banded Demon, Pale Marked Ace, Yellow Onyx, Long Winged Hedge Blue, Ace Spe., Hill Ace, and Dwarf Banded Denom. Forest fires increase carbon emissions by 60 percent in 22 years Globally, carbon dioxide emissions from wildfires in all forests have increased by 60 percent since 2001, a new study has published. Emissions from boreal forest fires in Eurasia and North America nearly tripled between 2001 and 2023. In addition to tropical and subtropical forest areas, climate change has significantly increased extratropical forest fire carbon emissions from areas outside the tropics, according to research published in 'The Science'. U. Stefan Doerr, director of the Center for Wildfire Research at the University of Swansea, K., said in a statement that the extent of wildfires and their intensity has increased alarmingly. This figure has been revealed. Considering large wildfires recorded in Australia, Eurasia, North America and Canada between 2019 and 2023, the authors said that fire events, especially extreme wildfires, weaken the performance and resilience of some forests. Their ecosystems, including carbon storage and capture, are threatened because vegetation and soil organic matter can take decades or centuries to recover after events. Carbon emissions from wildfires in Canada through 2023 are likely to overturn a significant portion of the carbon sink in Canadian forests that took decades to accumulate.}
