South Carolina received $50 million to save resources in River Basin.

From the article:

Today marks an unprecedented victory for conservation and commerce,” said Scott Phillips, South Carolina Forestry Commission’s State Forester. “Coined the nation’s ‘wood basket’, this region’s timberlands are one of the state’s most important assets. Not only do forested landscapes provide clean water, scenic beauty, wildlife habitat, and outdoor recreation, they also represent a renewable resource with a major economic impact. The funding announced for this initiative is a win on every level—for our state’s economy, for our workforce, for residents, and for wildlife.

A slightly old video about a remarkable man.

This is not the story of hunger, of poverty or destitution.

It the story of a person who sees something wrong and does what he can about it. To hell with what others say.

In other news, if you ever visit Chennai, ask to be taken on a tree walk in the Kotturpuram Park set up by Nizhal. An attempt to bring back native trees to Chennai, that has predominantly neem-mango-coconut, or exotic trees.

One friend took us around and now even when I am wandering the roads, I am starting to notice the trees, seeing patterns. Stuff that even a year of teaching Biology didn't manage to achieve :)

with a goal of refiguring the culture-nature, mind-body split that dominates much of Western thought. Such splits tend to reduce nature, including the human body, to physical forms and processes. According to this world-view, only human beings have minds. Nature is thus deprived of intrinsic sentience or conscious intentions: without those, or with only a token acknowledgement of their existence — such as a concern for animal suffering in animal rights — there can be no genuine ethics in human relations with other species. And upon our dualist metaphysics is built a whole scheme of global practices — political, economic, medical, even religious — that, notwithstanding its benefits, is the underlying cause of the present global environmental crisis. This is why I believe that refiguring our world-view is a prerequisite to solving, or at least ameliorating that crisis. I believe we have a great deal to learn from these living cultures.

A book on urban fauna written by Preston Ahimaz (from the Madras Naturalist Society) is trying to get itself printed. Problem is, they need at least 700 copies to be underwritten before the book can go to press.

If the idea of local conservation appeals to you, if you look at birds and snails and lizards and squirrels and wonder where you can find out a little more about them, if you are seriously considering terrace gardens and can't believe how concretised our cities have become, if you want to learn about the creatures we share our spaces with,

you can think of underwriting a copy of the book

Write to me if you would like to see a synopsis of the book
