3. **Eucalyptus Planting Controversy in Kerala**:
The Kerala government's decision to allow eucalyptus plantations for financial sustenance has sparked controversy due to potential ecological impacts. Critics argue that eucalyptus trees can lead to soil degradation and water depletion.
4. **Rangelands Degradation**:
A recent report highlights that up to 50% of the world's rangelands are degraded, posing significant risks to ecosystems and pastoralist communities. This degradation is largely due to overgrazing, climate change, and poor land management practices
5. **Census of Bharals (Blue Sheep) and Himalayan Ibex**:
A new census has started in the cold desert regions of Lahaul & Spiti district in Himachal Pradesh to estimate the population of Bharals and Himalayan ibex. This initiative is part of efforts to monitor and conserve these species in their natural habitats.
