An area stretching across Bhutan, India, Myanmar, Nepal, Tibet, and China is home to 350 previously unknown species discovered in the past 10 years. One of those is a 100 million year old gecko, the oldest species of gecko ever discovered, that predates the mass extinction of the dinosaurs by 35 million years. Along with [...]
Are we any closer to saving planet earth, despite increasing environmental awareness? It didn’t seem way on June 5th, when World Environment Day (WED) 2009 was commemorated to promote more environmental awareness. The economic doldrums that the entire world is still experienced seems to have taken center stage, although a number of activities took place [...]
