    World Environment Day - Rufous Treepie - End Plastic Pollution

    World Environment Day - Rufous Treepie - End Plastic Pollution

    The Rufous Treepie (Dendrocitta vagabunda) is a bird native to the Indian subcontinent and adjoining parts of Southeast Asia. It is a member of the crow family, Corvidae. In the forest, a plastic packet of food, thrown by humans, is stuck in a tree, turning into a trap. A wild Rufous Treepie is trying to tear the plastic to eat the food, sometimes getting its beak stuck in the plastic hole. At other times, the plastic looks like an imaginary wing when viewed from the side. This photo was taken on World Environment Day, celebrated annually on June 5 to highlight environmental challenges. The photo was taken at Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on 05/06/2024. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
      Wetlands And Human

      Wetlands And Human

      Wetlands cover only about 6% of the Earth's land surface, yet 40% of all plant and animal species live or breed in them, highlighting their critical ecological role. Contrary to the perception that wetlands are merely large bodies of water like ponds, rivers, or lakes, they can also be temporary water bodies formed in low-lying cultivated lands due to monsoon rains, attracting many migratory birds. However, the use of land fertilizers and pesticides poses a threat to these species. World Wetlands Day 2024 was celebrated on February 2nd, with the theme ''Wetlands and Human Wellbeing.'' It was observed that in Kaliganj, West Bengal, India, on February 17, 2024, farmland became waterlogged, attracting migratory birds such as the Asian Openbill Stork (Anastomus oscitans) and the Black-winged Stilt (Himantopus himantopus), while people navigated the area in boats.
