@amazondolphinmc I wanna show you this crosswalk at the jogging track near my house

Its elevated so it prioritises civilians over cars the crosswalk is lined with lights so you can see the way and the traffic lights makes a beeping sound that gets more frequent the closer it gets to 0 for pedestrians

Pretty peak crosswalk :D

Avian species assemblage across a rural urban gradient in and around Shivamogga, Karnataka

Human-induced activities play a prime role in determining the avian species diversity. Urbanization directly affects the distribution of the avian species because it results in habitat fragmentation which results in the loss of avian dependent habitats. Diversity of birds and their status were examined in the different sites along the rural urban gradient. A total of 108 avian species belonging to 16 orders and 47 families were recorded in 5 study sites. Significant variation in bird species richness was observed across the rural urban gradient sites (F= 5.59, P= 0.00149, df= 5). Feeding guilds were observed in different sites. Box-plot showed the dominance of carnivorous guilds across the five study sites. Urban 1 site was dominated with omnivorous guilds and rests of the sites were dominated with Carnivorous feeding guilds. Synanthropic species was found to be declining in the population at highly urbanized area. Specialist species were completely absent in the urbanised sites and are only found to be restricted to the rural sites.

Two billion people cannot be relocated to cities. Yes, China’s rural population has fallen from 80 per cent in 1980 to 35 per cent – but China is unique. Even in neighbouring India, the rural population remains at 65 per cent, or 900 million people. The entire world’s manufacturing, construction and mining currently employ only 800 million people: clearly, the global peasantry cannot be absorbed into industry. We need to realise that, in the absence of exceptional levels of industrialisation, nothing can sustain large populations so well as the land. We need to stop seeing urbanisation as the main index of developmental progress, and realise that it is, in many cases, the sign of a major disaster: the destruction of rural life by big agriculture and industry, and the loss of irreplaceable human and ecological systems.

Ignoring Central Asia’s environmental crisis is a strategic mistake

Falling water levels also affect river transport and port operations. The Caspian Sea's declining levels threaten ecosystems and critical economic assets, including ports and energy facilities
