The Indian government is planning to introduce #immunocontraceptives as an experimental #population management tool for #leopards, particularly in areas with frequent human–leopard conflicts. For this, the Ministry of Environment, Forests, and Climate Change (@MoEFCC) plans to file a petition in the Supreme Court, requesting that the apex court lift its order so that experimental research can resume.

India's Environment Ministry has requested Water Ministry to provide advice on how to sustain #environmental flows in the #Chambal #River during the lean season to help River #dolphin. Concerns arose following the initiation of a series of dam constructions over tributaries of #Chambal River- Banas, Kuno, Parbati,&Kalisindh rivers-in MP &Rajasthan. Moreover, no environmental impact assessment has been conducted to evaluate how the project will affect aquatic life.
