The Air quality is safe (good) upto PM2.5 of 50 or below, it is moderate between 100 and 200, while above 200 it is poor. The level between 300 and 400 is very poor and above 400 it falls in severe category.

The poor air quality might extend for further period due to prevailing weather conditions in north India.

The #BigPictureConference is already amazing and Iāve only just stepped through the doors @ScotlandTBP #rewilding
Session One- rewilding for everyone. #BigPictureConference
First we have Vicki Hird and her books Rebugging the Planet #BigPictureConference #rewilding
Here's a surprising reason to be cheerful:
š¢40-60% of the weight of a slaughtered cow goes to making ground beef...
... and ground beef is by far the easiest meat product to replace with precision fermentation or cultivated meat.

The #climate wrecking livestock industry is barely profitable as it is.
Globally it is propped up by much of the $540bn spent on #agriculture subsidies per year.
In the UK 90% of an average livestock farm's profits come from subsidies.

With such tight margins, farmers have to sell every single part of a cow for the numbers to add up. This is known as the 'carcass balance'.
So, if that 40-60% of the carcass balance is replaced, the business model of farming and killing these sentient beings collapses.

1/ A glimpse into Pleistocene park for todays #rewildingscience tweet thread with the article āBorn to #Rewildā by Eli Klintisch. This short article delves into the process and thoughts behind the attempts to re-establish the grassland-dominated ecosystem ā the mammoth steppe
2/ In the mid-90s, Sergey Zimov founded the Pleistocene park, a 14,000-hectare reserve near Chersky. The intention was to test whether large herbivores, such as, elk moose, reindeer, horses and bison ā through grazing - could bring back the mammoth steppe landscape
3/ This biome dominated Northern Eurasia and North America for 2m years until the last glacial around 13,000 years ago when it shifted to mossy tundra. Why Zimov felt the need to re-establish this landscape lies in its carbon-trapping properties
I finally got around to watching the Apocalypse Cow documentary (Channel 4, George Monbiot) the other night. Like Monbiot, I do not eat meat/fish or drink milk. I'm still gathering my thoughts on the doc,. however, here are my thoughts thus far.
All nature is now being recognized as an object to be bought/sold, traded on wall street. And this is what perhaps bother me most about the doc. As I can see the intent / purpose behind it. It's not as though Monbiot does not know about the #NewDealForNature. He does.
Consider most, if not all of his "allies" are at the helm or support the #NewDealForNature, led by WEF, WWF, UN, Natural Capital Coalition, Conservation Int., etc. And of course, both Monbiot & Thunberg did the promotional video for CI. #Celebrity is utilized to serve capital.
1/17 Steve Wolverton explores the debate of #rewilding North America with extant mammals in his 2010 paper āThe North American Pleistocene overkill hypothesis and the re-wilding debateā.
2/17 The proposal to #rewild North America with extant species is in part backed by the overkill hypothesis and the ethical obligation that humans have in response to our role in the extinction of certain megafauna speciesā¦
3/17 Wolverton argues that conservationists need to be sure of the underlying assumptions of the hypothesis to inform rewilding. Ignoring these assumptions, he writes, is costly to science and archaeology as it oversimplifies the argument.
