🌾 Kaziranga’s Lesser-Known Richness + A Breakthrough in Locust Control
Kaziranga National Park, often celebrated for its iconic one-horned rhinos, has revealed something equally important — its grassland bird diversity. A recent survey recorded a significant uptick in bird populations, reaffirming the park’s ecological richness.
📌 Two species stand out:
🔹 Bengal Florican – Critically Endangered
🔹 Finn’s Weaver – Endangered, known for its intricate tree-top nests
These birds aren’t just beautiful — they are indicators of grassland health and biodiversity. Their conservation is crucial.
Meanwhile, scientists have made a game-changing discovery in locust control. For decades, locust swarms have devastated crops across continents, moving rapidly and feeding on entire farmlands.
Now, research from the Chinese Academy of Sciences reveals that locusts release a pheromone after consuming green vegetation, triggering others to swarm and cooperate (gregarious behavior). Blocking this pheromone could be the key to preventing future agricultural disasters without excessive pesticide use.
A win for biodiversity 🌱 and a hopeful step for food security 🌍.
