VANA MAHOTSAVA DAY CELEBRATION INVITATION

Aadi Perukku leaves Cauvery river polluted

TRICHY: Aadi Perukku is an auspicious festival when people throng river banks wishing for prosperity, but not many realise the damage such congregations cause to the environment. Heaps of garbage in the form of garlands, used pieces of cloth and plastic bags were floating on the Cauvery river after they were offered by devotees as part of the traditional practice. Newly-wed couples preserve their wedding garlands for this occasion and drop them into the river on Aadi Perukku. Besides, many devotees leave their clothes on the river bank and return wearing new clothes. Such practices affect the quality of the water and pollute the river bed. 

."Unless priests are educated on instructing the public to safely dispose their cloths instead of throwing them in the river, fruitful change would only be a distant dream," 

A lion-tailed macaque and its newborn at Vandalur Zoo

Arignar Anna Zoological Park in Vandalur has set a new record by achieving captive breeding of two lion-tailed macaques in the last one month.

According to zoo officials, one macaque born to Anjali (7) and Ashok (9), and another born to Raghavi (7) and Ravi (9) were an attraction for visitors to the zoo now. At present, the zoo has 23 lion-tailed macaques, including the newborns.

The Zoo has a long-standing record of successfully breeding the species, as a result of which the Central Zoo Authority of India has declared Vandalur Zoo a coordinating zoo for the Lion-Tailed Macaque Conservation Breeding programme.

Time is short. Right now, the number of wild tiger is at its lowest ever!

We have lost 97% of all wild tigers in a bit over 100 years. Instead of 100,000, as few as 3000 live in the wild today, last year it was 3200! A number of Tiger Species  have already been extinct.

Tigers may be one of the most admired animals, but they are also vulnerable to extinction.
