Sharks, Squalene and COVID
Sharks, squalene and COVID. Comic from my @rgsustain column. Can we afford to inflict mass slaughter upon an apex predator and make coral reefs and marine ecosystems collapse to have a Covid vaccine, in the presence of alternatives?

CBSE Scraps Ecology and Evolution
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE)'s decision to scrap entire chapters on ecology and evolution in the middle of a zoonotic pandemic has been termed 'ironic' by the Indian Society of Evolutionary Biologists (ISEB). While the ISEB has taken cognizance of the fact that a syllabus reduction will help students prepare for exams better, it has suggested the trimming of sub topics rather than slashing of entire topics. Read the ISEB's statement to the CBSE and HRD Ministry here.

Coronavirus and Wildlife Trade Ban
It took China more than 300 deaths from the recent coronavirus outbreak to ban wildlife trade. While the links between live wildlife trade and coronavirus are still being examined, one can only hope that the trade, which affects a myriad of endangered animals like pangolins, terrapins and Yellow-breasted Buntings, will be banned permanently.
