A very cool wolf spider, just quietly moving around on moss. Allowed enough time for a decent picture (with an android phone)
Set on a typical gneiss'ish rock infused with hard white quartz crystals.

Sicilianews24.it: Città di confine indiana vicino al Bhutan colpita da inquinamento dei letti fluviali.

La Crisi dei Rifiuti a Jaigaon
Jaigaon, una cittadina densamente popolata al confine tra India e Bhutan, affronta una grave crisi a causa della cattiva gestione dei rifiuti, come riportato dalla collaboratrice Chandrani Sinha per Mongabay India. La città è un importante punto di scambio commerciale e turistico, ma la situazione attuale è preoccupante.
Gran parte della plastica, dei rifiuti di costruzione e di quelli medici vengono abbandonati lungo le rive del fiume Torsa, che ha origine nella Valle di Chumbi, nella parte orientale dell’Himalaya, e scorre attraverso il Bhutan, entrando in India a Jaigaon. Questo degrado ambientale mette a rischio la reputazione di Jaigaon, un luogo frequentato da turisti ogni anno.

The Waste Crisis in Jaigaon
Jaigaon, a densely populated town at the border between India and Bhutan, is facing a serious crisis due to poor waste management, as reported by correspondent Chandrani Sinha for Mongabay India. The city is an important trading and tourist hub, but the current situation is concerning.
Much of the plastic, construction, and medical waste is dumped along the banks of the Torsa River, which originates in the Chumbi Valley in the eastern Himalayas and flows through Bhutan before entering India at Jaigaon. This environmental degradation threatens the reputation of Jaigaon, a place frequented by tourists every year.
