Mining may power industries and strengthen economies, but every mine has a finite life. The real challenge begins when extraction ends and the machinery falls silent. Across mineral-rich states like Odisha, abandoned pits, disturbed…

Tree plantation drives have become a symbol of environmental action across India, with millions of saplings planted every year. But does planting more trees necessarily mean creating more forests? Scientists say the answer is far more…

Every winter, thousands of migratory birds travel thousands of kilometres from Siberia, Central Asia and Europe to the wetlands of Odisha. Guided by the Sun, stars and even Earth's magnetic field, these remarkable travellers transform…

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly emerging as one of the most powerful tools in modern wildlife conservation. From analysing millions of camera-trap images and recognising animal calls to monitoring forests through satellite imagery, AI is…

Predicting Earth's climate is one of the most complex scientific challenges of the modern era. While today's climate models rely on powerful supercomputers, researchers are now exploring whether quantum science could unlock a new generation…

Beneath every healthy forest lies an extraordinary world that most people never see. Hidden within the soil, microscopic fungal networks connect the roots of trees, allowing them to exchange water, nutrients and chemical signals in ways…

India's forests may still stand, but the natural pathways connecting them are disappearing. Wildlife corridors—essential routes that allow elephants, tigers and countless other species to move safely between habitats—are increasingly being…

Climate change is no longer only about rising temperatures or melting glaciers. Scientists are increasingly warning about climate tipping points—critical thresholds beyond which natural systems may undergo irreversible change. From the…

Delayed monsoons, sudden cloudbursts, and prolonged dry spells are becoming increasingly common across India. Scientists point to a combination of global warming and natural climate phenomena such as El Niño as key reasons behind these…

Groundwater is one of nature's most valuable resources, supplying drinking water, supporting agriculture, and sustaining ecosystems across India. Yet beneath the surface, an invisible threat is growing. Pollution from chemicals, industrial…
