East Kolkata Wetland as a Mosaic - জল-জ্যান্ত কলকাতা

Within the peri-urban ecotone (a region of transition between two habitats) in rapidly urbanizing Kolkata, sits the East Kolkata Wetlands (EKW) that accommodates 254 sewage-fed water bodies interspersed with farmland. These wastewater ponds serve as a natural sewage treatment plant. Nearly eighty percent of the city’s effluents are treated in these ponds whose waters are

"Lo—TEK is a design movement and research framework that reintroduces Indigenous and ancestral technologies as critical tools for addressing climate, ecological, and urban challenges. Coined by ...author...Julia Watson, through her collaborative work with 18 indigenous communities around the globe, Lo—TEK offers a counterpoint to high-tech, extractive systems that dominate mainstream approaches to sustainability."

Lo—TEK Design by Radical Indigenism | Lo–TEK

Written to accompany the book Lo—TEK, Design by Radical Indigenism, the Lo—TEK Curriculum for high school students addresses the future of our environment, reignites dismissed voices and ensures access to phenomena and land-based education, with interdisciplinary exploration and thinking. Available to educators, students gain an understanding of indigenous technologies and practices that expose connectivity to their own histories, local landscapes and current views.

Scientists have discovered a molecular trick in tiny hornwort plants that helps the key photosynthesis enzyme Rubisco cluster together like “molecular Velcro.” The breakthrough could one day help crops capture CO₂ more efficiently, boosting yields while supporting climate solutions. 🌱

Scientists discover tiny plant trick that could supercharge crop yields

Researchers have uncovered a molecular trick used by hornwort plants that could help future crops capture carbon dioxide more efficiently. A unique protein feature called RbcS-STAR causes the key photosynthesis enzyme Rubisco to cluster into dense compartments, helping it work more effectively. When scientists added this feature to other plants, Rubisco reorganized in the same way. The finding raises the possibility of engineering more efficient photosynthesis into major crops.
