A Black Bear and a Bengal Tiger discuss 30 x 30 conservation, which is proving to be one of the most heated international environmental debates right now, specially in the wake of COP15. Comic from my column with The Hindu Sunday Magazine.

Inaturalist and Skink
I'm celebrating my 200th observation on Inaturalist.org with this comic! For the uninitiated, Inaturalist is an online social network of naturalists, which helps you identify your observations and doubles up as a citizen science and biodiversity mapping project, with over a million users! From my column with The Hindu.

Great Indian Bustard Chicks Hatched in Captivity
If you've been following Green Humour, you may know that the Great Indian Bustard is on its way to becoming the first bird to go extinct in independent India. But the Rajasthan Forest Department has made a major breakthrough by successfully hatching 9 bustard chicks in captivity. As the FD prepares them for rehabilitation, let's give them the cheer they deserve. Preparation and conservation of suitable habitat, and mitigation of threats to the bustards' lives (moving transmission lines underground) will determine the success of these 9 birds in the wild.
At the recently concluded COP CMS, the Great Indian Bustard was among the three endangered Indian animals to be included in Appendix 1 (the other two being the Asian Elephant and the Bengal Florican). The move is expected to bolster conservation efforts of the species across borders.

The final of the International Cricket World Cup is around the corner, and fireworks are expected. So is air and noise pollution.

Environmental Cost of a Cricket Tournament
The 2019 Cricket World Cup is on in full swing in England. I don't mean to be a spoilsport; I have grown up with a devotion to cricket unlike to any other sport, like the average Indian man. Albeit not carrying as high a carbon footprint as other wasteful sports like Golf, cricket does have a lot of scope to get greener, specially with climate change and water crises worsening in many parts of the world.
The comic appears in my column with Mid-Day.
