Some Thoughts.....

In many newspapers or magazines, we may be reading about pollution, what harm excess usage of fossil fuels is doing to our environment .e.t.c, but after thinking it over for a few minutes, we may toss the book away, thinking,
"Well, it's not affecting me right now, maybe it isn't as harmful as this article is saying".

Well, this was once part of my thoughts. I would constantly be seeing programs on Television or read articles in newspapers but after thinking about these dangerous causes of pollution for a long time, I would easily forget or think, "I'm such a small person in this big world, who knows about me? How am I supposed to make a change?". But then I found out that I can spread awareness about pollution and endangered creatures through my writing.

Similarly, all of you who read this post should try to make a difference. All around, quite frequently, we can see the effects of pollution in our surroundings, how it makes every living creature suffer. A few days ago, I was just standing on my balcony, when in a nearby coconut tree, I could see a couple of Kites sitting in their nest, biting and examining a plastic packet, which was entangled in the coconut frands. It broke my heart. Even the above image shows a trace of water pollution, it was a sewage treatment plant, with toxins being pumped into the water, causing the fish to die and float on the surface of the water. 

Air pollution has ultimately caused the level of CO² in the air to rise and has also made temperature fluctuations in the world. This has caused the problem which is making headlines globally..... Global Warming. While hearing this term, it may not sound as dangerous as its actual presence and effect, yet it has already caused multiple changes in the Earth's natural environment. The excess heat is causing glaciers to melt in the two poles, as well as in the Himalayas. This is causing the the sea level to rise with the melting ice and water, slowly submerging many small islands with diverse ecosystems like The Carteret Islands in Papua New guinea and the Sunderbans in India.

Imagine if the whole world got submerged like this, where would all the plants and animals go, what would happen to all wildlife. But more importantly, what would happen to us? We would obviously be facing the same consequences as other living creatures and would destroy our planet with our irresponsible actions.

Share this post and spread awareness amongst people to make them realise that pollution and global warming should not be allowed to destroy our environment like this.....

Sclater's Monal

 India has many strange yet intriguing creatures, living amidst the wilderness, but, one of my favourite is a bird called the Sclater's Monal. This proud beauty is endemic to the eastern Himalayas and has been sighted many times in Arunachal Pradesh in India. Along with its glossy wings and orange-tipped tail, the looks of the male bird  rivals that of its cousin, the Himalayan Monal. The bird has been named in memory of a british zoologist named, Philip.L.Sclater. These pheasents feed mostly on seeds, small mamals, leaves and more. These folk, however, make a sound which may seem alarming when compared with its looks. It gives out a line of shrill chattering and a high pitched shriek at the end. However, even though this bird's conservation status is that of least concern, its population is decreasing mainly due to the loss of its habitat. As a birdwatcher myself, this is very unhappy news for me and that's why I am urging all the readers here to spread this information.

Wildlife and Extinction

 When I was around 6 years old, I started to develop a keen interest in birds, which I seem to have kept alive. I am from India, a land with so many species of birds.I have observed and created observation charts on many of them. Even though I am proud to see the number of many birds increase, there are also many endangered birds not only in my country but all over the world. From my point of view, this should be considered a major problem globally, not mentioning that many animals have become extinct during the last century. There are many birds and animals, about whom many people have never even heard of, such as the Bugun Liocichla, a bird in the small, yet wild Eaglenest Wildlife Sanctuary, Arunachal Pradesh. This species 's conservation status is "critically endangered" and there are only about 25-250 mature individuals in the area. The only way to save these creatures, according to me, is spreading awareness about the dangers they are facing. These innocent creatur...

Forest Owlet

Image
 To many people, owls are a symbol of wisdom and knowledge. In many places, these birds are actually quite common, but we should keep in mind before going into detail that the Typical owl family has 13 endangered species, 24 vulnerable species and 3 critically endangered species, along with the Barn owl family's 4 vulnerable species and 1 endangered species.... Today's subject is the adorable Forest Owlet, an endangered species of the Typical owl family. This voracious predator is characterized by its brown feathers, white belly, yellow beak and, of course,  fierce talons. Its big round eyes are always on the lookout for a meal. This term can be used for a wide variety of prey in this bird's case, including rodents, lizards, skinks, frogs and insects. Unlike most owls, the Forest Owlet is diurnal , meaning they are active during the day, though they aren't spotted much after 10 a.m. It is found in the Central and West-cental region of India. The Forest Owlet also has q...
