after more than 2 years you can see the forest already. We can make quick forest for better environment. Plant more trees around us.

We really need to change the approach of teaching at the university levels especially in the research universities. Theories and applied must go along together. hands on activities attract more interest among the students. The benefit of the research grants are not just publication and buying equipments and chemicals BUT training post graduates and undergraduates.

The East Asia/Australasia Flyway extends from Arctic Russia and North America to the southern limits of Australia and New Zealand. It encompasses large parts of East Asia, all of Southeast Asia and includes eastern India and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The scale of avian movement along the flyway is awesome, with over 50 million migratory waterbirds, including 8 million waders, using the route annually. Flyway population estimates for migratory waders include 2.88 million Oriental Pratincole Glareola maldivarum and up to one million Marsh Sandpiper Tringa stagnatilis. Many waders travel all the way from their high arctic breeding grounds to spend the northern winter in the temperate latitudes of the southern hemisphere. For the Bar-tailed Godwit Limosa lapponica, this can entail an 11,000 km non-stop flight from Alaska to New Zealand. Some species, such as Rednecked Stint Calidris ruficollis and Spotted Greenshank Tringa guttifer (EN) also cross Bangladesh to spend the winter in eastern India.

Mandaley encourage keep publishing and sharing findings with others. BUT we need local recognition too for better promotion.

Another memory

When we found this picture then we ask who are in this picture and when we took it. This must be many years a go which I cannot remember exactly. What ever it is this is memory.

Some people are greedy cannot see big trees. If we manage well we can keep our virgin forests undisturbed especially in the catchment areas. We have knowledge and technology to sustainable wood supply. with more greedy people nowadays they do not listen to the experts.
