For all the tall claims the university makes, management and some faculty treat students with absolute apathy. They do not support the formation of a *recognized* student body and actively bust student unions.

They want to create a "just, equitable, humane" society but just not on campus. Clearly, this is just a marketing strategy - an aesthetic they're trying to sell. I love the students and all my faculty but the university as an entity is a farce.

Students are the heart of any university. I request alumni, faculty, and other folks to visit, meet, and speak to students, student bodies etc. Not just about work but about how they feel, about their experiences and tell them how you will support them.

The university has responded to crises like these by encouraging support groups or bodies which don't give students official representation. Ultimately, we should support the formation of a student body that has representatives who have a say in how the university runs.

Dogs appear to be a bigger problem in mountains more than anywhere else in the country. @desertr36961584 's research shows how Spiti dogs have an impact on livelihood . Here's a video I took in ladakh, of dogs that form packs that are a lot larger than dog packs in bangalore!

The grim realities following the eviction of forest dwelling communities. Colonial practices like these end up as state sanctioned tools for the exclusion and subsequent elimination of already marginalized communities.

Brutal and gruesome. Hopefully shocks us into accepting the fact that state machinary tasked and empowered to protect us end up being tools of oppression towards the already marginalized.

Kuravar, a Nomadic Tribe Community continues to be a target of police violence and victims of false cases. Mani, a community member was picked up by the police for an enquiry of a theft case on 9th June but was found hanging in his own lungi the next day with wounds of torture.

Free ranging dogs also function as an interface, facilitating the transmission of a whole range of diseases across species including us.

Shocking and pitiful as to how research critical to the study of emerging zoonotic diseases like COVID got whacked just because of misinformation. Stifling critical research like this is the last thing we need.

With many people calling for a blanket ban on the hunting of wildlife here's a paper that looks into the privilege of those calling for the ban and how the most impoverished and undernourished communities depend on wild meat. Do read!

I'm super envious of those getting to attend SCCS this year. Hearing so much about the talks. @sccsbng Is there any way to watch streams of the plenary speakers at the event this year? Students at the Wildlife institute would love to attend but distance is an issue.

This is the first in a series of photographs I am finally sharing to give you a glimpse of the strange and captivating world of fungi. These photos were taken in the forest fragments in and around Kadumane Estate, Western Ghats.

@thewoodowl @serenehowls @ninad_mungi Another Q. Let's say bushmeat hunting is problematic, why do we jump to creation of inviolate spaces as an immediate solution? Why do we not have similar responses to urban folk for misuse of natural resources?

@UddeepanS Not at all. In fact they're a class apart and are known as mega-herbivores (any herbivore above a Tonne). Elephants and Gaurs are megaherbivores too. Had a few close calls with elephants and pray I never come face to face with a rhino :p
