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.

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...

The book "Apprenticed to Himalayan Master - A Yogi's Autobiography" is a very beautiful written by Shri M in which he has mentioned the blissful journey of spiritualism in his life. In the journey how spiritualism erupted in this character in early age and how this strong desire to know the absolute truth leads him to various masters like maheswarnath Babaji, Shri Guruji, J. Krishnamurthi etc. He was a disciple of maha avatar Babaji and learned various yogic practices and meditations techniques under Babaji guidance. The Journey leads him to various holy places of India such as Badrinath, Kasi Vishwanath, Dakshineswar Kali bari, Kailash Mansarovar and various other holy places. He also delivered lectures in America and Germany also. In the entire book, he awakens the reader about the spiritual dimension and higher path which leads to enlightenment of the soul. It is a good book and those who are very fond of spiritual dimensions should read it once.
