More than two days after violence broke out at a rally organised by a tribal organisation in #Shillong on October 28, no arrests have been made even though Meghalaya deputy chief minister Prestone Tynsong had said the police would take “necessary steps”.

Mongabay-India's commentaries present nuanced arguments on wildlife conservation and environmental issues, including energy, to encourage an informed debate among key stakeholders. Read this #thread for some insightful commentaries.

While the Tiger Range Countries (TRCs) have put in efforts to revive and stabilize the big cat's population, an urgent need for finance to ensure the protection of priority tiger protected areas (PAs) in TRCs is necessary, say @Dr_RajeshGopal & @wilder_mk.

@internetfreedom

The Meghalaya Government has replied to our legal notice and has explained its position wrt to the use of FRT for verification of pensioners’ identities! We have analysed the response here ⬇️ 1/6

internetfreedom.in/the-use-of-frt…

The Govt. of Meghalaya says that the deployment of Facial Recognition Technology is optional and not mandatory. What it forgets is that the principles of information security must be complied by any authority collecting data, even when such collection is on a voluntary basis. 2/6

GoM says that the use of FRT doesn’t require any anchoring legislation, and doesn’t violate the right to privacy. What it forgets is that in the absence of a data protection law, the high risk of data misuse outweighs the aim of offering additional convenience to pensioners. 3/6

Covid 19 is raging in north east India and #Meghalaya is now under complete lockdown. This has affected daily wage workers including hawkers and street vendors.

From March 2020 onwards their livelihood has met with increased vulnerabilities and challenges. Now under full lockdown again and prohibited from engaging in trade this section of the population has been under severe stress.

They have no income support from the government for expenses towards rents, school fees, and food. We want to raise sufficient funds to support their various needs including medical requirements and everyday needs.

<27/11/2020 WORLD WITHOUT KONG SPELITY> Kong Spelity Lyngdoh Langrin of Domisiat, #Khasi Hills, #Meghalaya is no more. She left us yesterday night at 11.30pm. Kong Spelity - Matriarch of Domiasiat, refused to allow #Uranium to be mined on her land.

Offered 45 Crore rupees for a 30 years lease of her land, she said, "Money will not buy my Freedom."
Today as I try to figure out your absence, I want to tell the story I tried telling the world sometime ago:

"I have a story. Many years ago I was in Domiasiat village in West Khasi Hills. Domiasiat sits on top of India’s biggest Uranium deposits.

Welcome back to another episode of the #WildAboutFacts series. Today, we are taking over your feed with pictures and #trivia of one of the most alluring creatures from the #wild, the #RedPanda.

Join us, share your #photographs of the #Firefox of the #Himalayas.

#WildAboutFacts

Its distinctive fur has earned this species monikers such as #Firefox, Firecat, or Fire-coloured Cat. Arguably, the #RedPanda is the only true #Panda, as the #GiantPanda, which is believed to be closely related, belongs to the #bear family.

📷Senthil Murugan

#WildAboutFacts

Around half of the #RedPanda’s natural habitat lies in the Eastern #Himalayas – #Nepal, #Sikkim, northern #WestBengal, #Bhutan, and #ArunachalPradesh.

Its remaining home is in northern #Myanmar and a few provinces of central #China.
