Biodiversity of India Special Focus on Telangana & A.PKam Raju
Biodiversity, a portmanteau of "biological diversity," generally refers to the variety and variability of life on Earth.
According to the United Nations Environment Programmers, biodiversity typically measures variation at the genetic, the species, and the ecosystem level.
Terrestrial biodiversity tends to be greater near the equator, which seems to be the result of the warm climate and high primary productivity. Biodiversity is not distributed evenly on Earth, and is richest in the tropics.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

4. 01. INTRODUCTION
Forest resources play an important role in the economy of any
country. It is highly complex, changing environment made up of a living
and non living things. Living things include trees, shrubs, wildlife etc. and
non-living things include water, nutrients, rocks, sunlight and air. Forest
vary a great deal in composition and density and are distinct from
meadows and pastures. Forest are important to humans and the natural
world. For humans, they have many aesthetics, recreational, economic,
historical, cultural and religious values. Forest provide fuel, wood, timber,
wildlife, habitat, industrial, forest products, climate regulations, medicinal
etc.
5. 02. FOREST RESOURCES
The word forest is derived from a Latin word
“ Foris” means Outside
Forest are one of the most important natural resources of the earth.
Approximately 1/3rd of the earth’s total area is covered by forests
6. 03. INDIAN SCENARIO
In India forest cover Overall, 21.67% of the country's geographical area is
now under green cover
(as per 2019* data) The total forest cover in India is 712,249 km2
Forest cover in India is defined as all lands, more than one hectare in
area with a tree canopy density of more than 10%.
9. 04. FUNCTIONS OF FORESTS
The functions of forest may broadly classified into following categories
Protective Function
Productive Function
Regulative Function
Accessory Function
12. REGULATIVE FUNCTIONS
• The Forest regulates the level of Oxygen and carbon dioxide in atmosphere.
The forests also help in regulating temperature conditions
14. 05. ECOLOGICAL
IMPORTANCE OR USES OF
FORESTS
Regulation of global climate and temperature
Forest play a crucial role in regulation of global climate and temperature
as forest cover absorb the solar radiations that would otherwise be
reflected back into the atmosphere by bare surface of the earth.
Transpiration of plants increases the atmosphere humidity which affects
the rainfall, cools the atmosphere and thus regulate the hydrological
cycle
15. 01. BIO DIVERSITY
Biodiversity is the variety of different types of life found on earth. It is a
measure of the variety of organisms present in different ecosystems.
This can refer to:
Genetic variation within an area.
Ecosystem variation within an area
Species variation within an area.
17. Flora is the plant life occurring in a particular region
or time, generally the naturally occurring or
indigenous- native plant life.
Fauna is all of the animal life that constitutes to bio-
diversity of any particular region or time.
Flora and Fauna along with other forms of life likes fungi
are called the biota of a particular region.
07. FLORA AND FAUNA
18. India has some of the world's most bio-diverse regions. It is a
mega diverse nation, housing around 8% of world's species.
India hosts 3 biodiversity hotspots: the western Ghats, the
Himalayas and the Indo-Burma region. These hotspots have
numerous endemic species.
FLORA AND FAUNA IN INDIA
19. FLORA IN INDIA
The flora of India is one of the richest of the world due to a wide
range of climate, topology and environments in the country.
There are over 15000 species of flowering plants in India, which
account for 6 percent of the total plant species in the world.
India covers more than 45,000 species of flora, out of which there are
several species that are not found anywhere else.
21. FAUNA IN INDIA
India is one of the eighteen mega diverse countries.
it is home to 7.6% of all mammalian, 12.6% of all
avian, 6.2% of all reptilian, 4.4% of all amphibian ,
and 11.7% of all fish species.
India is home to several well-known large
mammals, including the Asian elephant, Bengal
tiger, Asiatic lion, leopard ,Indian rhinoceros, Deer
etc.
24. 09. CLASSIFICATION
ACCORDING TO RED DATA BOOK
International Union for Conservation of Nature and
Natural Resources ( IUCN ) has classified existing
plant and animal species into following categories.
They are :
Normal species
Endangered species
vulnerable species
Rare species
Endemic species
Extinct species
26. These are species which are in danger of extinction.
In 2012, the IUCN Red List featured 3079 animal and 2655 plant species
as Endangered (EN) worldwide.
Eg: Lion tailed macaque, Red Panda, black buck, Tiger, Indian rhino,
Snow Leopard etc.
ENDANGERED SPECIES
28. VULNERABLE SPECIES
A vulnerable species is one which has been categorized by the
International Union for Conservation of Nature as likely to become
endangered
Vulnerability is mainly caused by habitat loss or excessive poaching.
Eg: blue sheep, Asiatic elephant, Gangetic dolphin, Indian Penguins,
Yak, Barasinga etc.
30. RARE SPECIES
Rare species is a group of organisms that are very uncommon or
scarce . This designation may be applied to either a plant, animal,
bird,or insect.
These species with their small population may move into endangered
or vulnerable species if they are not protected. Eg: Himalayan brown
bear, wild Asiatic buffalo, desert fox, hornbill etc.
32. An endemic species is one whose habitat is restricted
to a particular area. The term could refer to an animal,
a plant, a fungus, or even a microorganism.
The area where endemic species are found is
relatively isolated from the rest of the world by a
natural or geographical barrier.
Eg: Andaman teal, Andaman wild pig, Kangaroo,
Nicobar pigeon etc.
ENDEMIC SPECIES
34. EXTINCT SPECIES
A species is extinct when the last existing member dies.
Extinction therefore becomes a certainty when there
are no surviving individuals that can reproduce and
create a new generation.
A species may be extinct from the entire region,
country, continent or entire world.
Eg: Asiatic Cheetah, Dodo, Dinosaurs, Mammoth,
Pink Head Duck, Sivatherium etc.
