Deforestation: a factor for zoonotic diseases

 


Video link

In a documentary by UNEP (link given above) reveals the relation between how deforestation is related to disease which is related to zoonotic animals such as bats, rats etc. With drastic increasing the supply and demand chain, industries are putting themselves too far in grabbing more and more lands to built industries. This results in an adverse impact on the forest lands, which is vanishing day by day. With increasing deforestations the zoonotic animals are coming closer to the human environments, which is effecting the heath of humans and domestic animas such as cats and dogs. The growing zoonotic disease such as Ebola, Covid 19 are becoming common. Such encounter of parasites with humans is expected to increase in future if the process of sustainable development is not employed by industrial units. As a consumer, it is also duty of every person to maximum rely on local markets for fulfilling their daily needs. It will decrease the gap of supply and demand which will bring positive health to the planet earth.

ExploringThiruvananthapuram

In the Southern part of India, A state Kerala, known for its cultural activities such as Dance, vibrant festivals, Hill stations, Backwater, Elephants, forestry of Rubber trees and Coconut trees is situated. The state got its name from "Kera" means coconut tree in Malayalam and "Alam" means land so the meaning of Kerala is driven from the land of coconut trees. Now in this shivering cold in the month of December, We started our tour to Thiruvananthapuram-the capital of Kerala. We started from Kolkata via flight, and when we arrived at the airport of Thiruvananthapuram in the early morning the first thing which I feel is the weather is very calm weather. When the entire Northern part of India is shivering in cold this Southern part of India is slightly affected with the winter season. Anyway, We have to go IISER Trivandrum, where an international conference was being held and I was one of the participants in the conference.  The landscape of the whole c...

Natural regeneration: a step towards restoring the forest cover

  Video link In a video(link given at the top) published in world economic forum highlights how Natural regeneration could be an effective idea to restore the forest cover. It is based upon the principle of leave the nature in its own condition so that it grows naturally and heals by itself. I does not means taking no action but instead highlights on planting more native trees in the forests.These should be no human interference in the forest cover for building made made structures. It will promote the growth of ecology and biodiversity of the nature. Again, by following this approach it is expected that it will observe 10% of annual carbon dioxide emission of  UK and quarter of  green house gas worldwide.

Work from home vs. work from office

Me doing Work from home and simultaneously enjoying the nature. Now a days, we are working on generally two modes. Either our official or academic work are in WFH (work from home) mode or WFO (work from office) mode. When Covid-19 started spreading last year in January 2020 and all the restrictions were implemented by the government. Suddenly, all the offices started shutting down. Then, whole economy came on WFH platform. At the beginning, everyone faced little difficulty but then WFH became a better option for work. Now a days, when the restrictions is being lifted up and we are going to the normal condition with decreasing spread of Covid disease, again the working culture is returning back in offline mode i.e. WFO mode. Today many of the people are reluctant to return on WFO mode because of various reasons. In contrast, many people are happy with backing WFO mode. Still schools, colleges are working with 50 percent capability with both WFH and WFO options. So at present, we are in ...
