.... and its lifeline Ken river running through the middle. It was upgraded to the status of a tiger reserve in 1994 but within 15 years it lost all its stripes !! The news broke out in May, 2009 that Panna TR which once claimed to harbour 40+ tigers had none left anymore.

#Fires burn through the summers in most dry #forests of India till monsoon rains quench them. In the hills in Uttarakhand, in the Nilgiri plateau in Bandipur, now in Bandhavgarh #fires are making news in India. (Thread 1 of 4)
Fires can be set by locals for getting fresh grass for their livestock or to collect minor forest produce. They are also set by #foresters to manage grasslands to get fresh grass for wild ungulates or even to reduce dry tinder in forests (pix P Dwivedi) ( Thread 2 of 4).
Fires are also set to manage fires by setting them in opposing lines. In this landscape of fire and forest several species fall prey to the raging flames, especially amphibians, reptiles& ground dwelling birds or their chicks. Others make hay ( 3 of 4)
1. After the 2018 @IPCC_CH report spelled out the difference between a 2 Degree and 1.5 Degree world, here's a few thoughts on tomorrow's #SRCCL report that will put the spotlight on how the way we use our land will affect our odds of hitting 1.5 degree and what this means for EU
2. Firstup, despite the deeply worrying state of land use, the existence of the report itself, ahead of the @UNClimateSummit this September and two crucial COP's next year on climate and biodiversity is an important step forward
3. Secondly, it represents a growing consensus on where the solutions are; restoring ecosystems (in particular peatlands), reducing meat consumption and production, securing indigenous land rights
