Studies indicate increase in forest canopy over a period of ten years in Madumalai Sanctuary, India. April 1: Another study indicates increase in Tiger population in TamilNadu Forests, especially in Mudumalai and Anamalai(Indira Gandhi Wildlife) Sanctuaries. Hence from April 1st 2008, a new Separate Tiger Sanctuary will be announced, which will include both these sanctuaries. EnviroApps Inc believes in Eco-Justices and hence we always have advertised the following slogans in our Eco-tour Cars: SAVE WILDLIFE, SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT Few more sanctuaries: Orphan elephants sanctuary in Kerala, India. Bats sanctuary in Karnataka, India. Exclusive Bird Hospital in Delhi, India Also I read a news that some guy in Kerela is feeding fish and chicken to a Cow which I think is against nature.

http://www.rediff.com/news/2008/mar/30ganga.htm: Despite hundreds of crores of rupees being spent to clean the Ganga, the lifeline of north India, pollution levels in the river have reached septic levels at certain points with dissolved oxygen dropping to alarmingly low levels. Ninety Five per cent of the pollution in the river is caused at point sources at which sewers and open drains bringing pollutants in domestic and municipal limits fall, while only five per cent is by the direct users. As an Environmental Scientist who was involved in Pocomoke River(Chesapeake Bay tributary) Sediment toxicity research, I am not at all surprised at this level of pollution in Ganges River. Non-point Agricultural runoff, very few sewage treatment plants outlet and polutry litter runoff has caused Pocomoke River disaster(massive fish kills). I would also say that Pocomoke River Pollution may be very very less compared to that of Ganges River Pollution. More studies on Ganges sediments...

News: Korea is interested in creating more industries in India, esp, Tamilnadu. Ecological and environmental problems will be the main issues of future India. This will occur mainly because of greed for wealth and growth, carelessness, poor environmental practices and Indian government legislation on Environment Protection. India’s Environmental richness,forests and majestic animals such as elephants and tigers will be long gone if proper action is not taken at least in a small scale. May be these countries need to pay for India's Environmental Protection when they build these Industries in India.

WORLD WATER DAY: http://water.org/waterpartners.aspx?pgID=1081 Water – the most basic element on earth. Without water, human life doesn’t exist. And without safe water, neither does good health. For most of us, it’s a short walk to the faucet in the kitchen, or bottled water in the refrigerator. But for more than a billion people – about one in six people on earth – getting safe water each day is no easy task. Women and children around the world walk 200 million hours every day for water – water that often comes from a polluted source.

Delhi - E-Waste Capital of the World. E-Wastes - 1,46,180 tons per year. Slow poisoning of Environment and health. Many of India’s corporations burn e-waste such as PC monitors, PCBs, CDs, motherboards, cables, toner cartridges, light bulbs and tube-lights in the open along with garbage, releasing large amounts of mercury and lead into the atmosphere. NEED MORE ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS NEED STRONG e-waste policy and legislation Fee from manufacturers/consumers for the disposal of toxic materials Encourage recycling and disposal industries with positive points. Ref: http://www.expresscomputeronline.com/20051121/management01.shtml Environment of India is being abused by e-waste generators, because of lack of awareness, laws and human greed. This is one reason for starting the Sustainable Land Development Project. Hopefully we can stop atleast few percentages of these Environmental Abuses to Incredible India. Solutions: The following safety measures (less cost safety materi...

The World Bank today approved a US$600 million loan to the Power Grid Corporation of India, backed by a Government of India guarantee, designed to strengthen the country’s electricity transmission system in order to increase reliable power exchange between regions and states. The Fourth Power System Development Project (PSDP IV) aims to reduce transmission losses and cut the cost of energy through further investments in transmission systems. It will also contribute to the clean energy initiative through both the ability to transfer surplus hydro energy to power deficit regions in India and relieve some of the pressure to build generation facilities, particularly in and around the major load growth centers. Despite a booming economy, India’s growth potential is constrained by inadequate electricity services and limited power generation and supply infrastructure. Over forty percent of the population is without electricity, and the cost of erratic and insufficient power supply is high for...

Industry says - too much tough rules, Scientists say - there need to be more toughness. Economy (Green - money) Vs Environment (Green - nature). People started to wear masks in developing world when riding motorbikes. Noticed cement industry without Electro-static precipitators wiping out entire fauna of the area. When we are greedy we don't think of nature and future. Hopefully the future generation need not have to drive with gas masks.

A vast array of pharmaceutical drugs - including antibiotics, anti-convulsants, mood stabilizers and sex hormones - have been found in the drinking water supplies of Americans. As an Environmental Scientist, who had done extensive research on sediments, this news did not surprise me. Sediments are history table of Mother Nature. Sediments samples (Core), near water treatment plants (Sewage and waste) should be taken and chemically analyzed to see the level of these drugs to understand the history of these drugs in cycle. New cycle studies on pharma drug cycle, ecotoxicology of drugs in environment, and fate of these drugs should be throughly investigated.
