Wildlife-Human Conflicts impacting Global Food Security: A challenge and it's Mitigation Strategies.

Image
  The Human population has exceeded the mark of 7.8 billion which is interdependent on natural resources for their sustenance. For our survival we need food and with the advancement of technology and food demand, it requires more agricultural land to satisfy our needs. Global Food Security is the state of having reliable access to enough affordable, nutritious food. Today, we are facing the Global Food Security issue which has variable causes and miserable consequences on human health. Wildlife-Human Conflict is one of the causes, which impacts considerable percent of Global Crop Land which leads to economic loss to the farmers. Forest dwellers have co-existed with wildlife populations since ages. As the land use changed with time it affected the patterns of wildlife habitats. The expansion of agriculture has been one of humanity’s largest impacts on the environment. According to the FAO, global agricultural land is increasing with the increasing food demand and it will cross 1.66 bi

'Doomsday Glacier' Melting, Wildlife Dwindling: On the way to Climate Disaster

  Climate Change: Global Warming, Global Temperature Rising, Glaciers Melting, Sea Lever Water Rising, Coastal Areas Drowning, Various species dying, The World Is Moving, it should consider stopping, Nature is throwing constant warning, it is time we consider waking, Earth needs little care taking, otherwise the whole world would be shaking, We would be died, and cockroaches would be existing.                                                                                                  By: Bharat Parmar The most vulnerable glacier of Antarctica, which is one of the remote areas of the planet where till date 28 people landed, is under threat A place with such a level of vulnerability has become a hot topic of discussion because of its immense importance. We are talking about the Thwaites Glacier, which is a large piece of ice-mass. It is as huge as a Great Britain. The increasing global temperature is leading to the melting of this glacier. The intensity/rate of the mel

Wildfires: GIS and Remote Sensing Monitoring and Mangement

Image
  Forests cover 20.55% of total India's geographic area. This large forest area requires proper timely monitoring and assessment as there are various problems that cause forest degradation and affects the ecosystem to a large extent. Forest Fires are one of these problems. As per the report of Forest Sir of India, 50% of the forest land is prone to fire. The risk of forest fire is at an alarming rate in India, so it requires a proper risk assessment and monitoring report. Geospatial data and tools are employed in this field to manage the forest fires in India. Satellite imagery and aerial photography are used in mapping, high-resolution sensors are used to detect the fires. As these forest fires contribute to environmental consequences, we have most recently observed Amazon forest fires and forest fires in Australia, which are devastating, species have been killed, the land has been destroyed, air pollution and many more ill effects have taken into place. So, this is really an impo

VEGAN: A SUSTAINABLE APPROACH OF LIVING

  A popular lifestyle trend in the society which is going viral is VEGANISM or VEGAN. Vegan are those population who does not consume animal products in any form; be it meat, dairy products, or any related items. A vegan diet is lactose-free and dairy-free and is healthier. The vegan population is growing rapidly worldwide. Vegan Inhabitants has drastically increased and has boosted with a rate of 600% per year. Veganism is a lifestyle that comes with an ethical, sustainable, ecological sound regime. In surveys, it is found out that there are distinct reasons for opting for a vegan diet. In different countries and regions, the availability of food products and crops is different. In a few parts of the world due to low crop-yield or very few agricultural practices, people cannot really shift to a vegetarian or vegan diet. But except those others can consider being vegan once in their life. Non-Vegetarians or Meat eaters often use this argument that due to nutrition value they consum

ANIMALS OR RESOURCES?

"These Beings are not Resources. They are living, breathing, hurting members of our living family. They deserve happiness too"   We share our living spaces with various species some of them are intricately linked with our daily routines as they provide us essential components that are considered to be important for our survival. The world livestock population is more than the human population, Brazil followed by India and China has the highest cattle and livestock populations. The rise in cattle and livestock population is due to the higher demands of livestock products in developed as well as developing Nations.  The livestock industry are well flourished and came under the formal sector where millions of people are dependent on their livelihood. Livestock and cattle rearing are common sources of income for millions of families throughout the Globe. So economically, Livestock Industry is contributing to a Nations GDP and supporting the growth of the country. Animals are
