How Forest Guardians in Wayanad Are Using Water and Vigilance to Keep the Wild Alive When the sun climbs over the Western Ghats, the forests of Wayanad turn from emerald havens into dry and dusty landscapes where every drop of water is precious. In Thariyode, deep within the Ladesmith Reserve Forest, the forest department has begun an intervention that merges care, strategy, and survival. Here, amidst the heat, the shadows of towering trees, and the distant calls of hornbills and elephants, the work is both physical and patient. Teams have been building check dams across seasonal streams and constructing watchtowers at strategic points. These structures are not for tourists or display; they exist for life itself, guaranteeing that animals can survive the harshest months, when water becomes scarce, and movement across the landscape is dictated by thirst. Sculpting water in the hills Across the forest, low check dams slow the flow of water, forming pools that would otherwise disappear under the relentless sun. These pools become lifelines for wildlife. Elephants bend their massive heads to drink, stirring clouds of dust and leaves, while deer and smaller mammals edge cautiously to the water’s fringe. Even the smallest pools provide an important refuge, where life can gather safely without risking dangerous excursions toward villages. In the Sugandhagiri...

A two-decade study in China's subtropical mangroves reveals native species resist storms but stop reproducing, while exotic species keep breeding despite leaf loss. This resilience trade-off complicates conservation as climate extremes worsen.🌲

Hello all! I’m heading out into the Forest for some artistic inspiration! Nature is my muse, so I must reconnect with her often.

See ya in a few days my friends! ✌️

The image captures a serene natural scene. A winding stream flows through the middle of a dense forest, surrounded by tall, dark trees. The trees create an intricate pattern of bare branches against a bright sky. Sunlight pierces through the branches, creating a strong glare and casting elongated shadows onto the water below. The water reflects light, producing a shimmering effect as it moves gently downstream. In the foreground, vibrant green grass contrasts with the muted tones of the forest, adding a touch of color to the otherwise monochromatic scene.

Huge Ponderosa Pine Tree in a gold meadow, dwarfing all the other trees around it, which are more pines, spruce and leafless aspens.

Forest burners face 20 years in jail as parks shut high-risk areas nationwide Thailand’s Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation has ordered the closure of high-risk conservation forest areas across the country as it intensifies a sweeping crackdown on illegal forest burning, warning offenders they could face up to 20 years in prison and fines of as much as 2 million baht. The department said the wildfire and haze situation in several areas remains worrying, with the North still the most fragile region despite this year’s overall forest fire figures remaining below the crisis levels seen in 2023 and 2024 over the same period. Atthapol Charoenchansa, director-general of the department, said on Saturday, March 29, 2026, that authorities were pressing ahead with strict enforcement as hotspot numbers continued to mount. From the start of the season, covering October 1, 2025 to February 28, 2026, officials had arrested suspects in 269 cases related to forest encroachment and illegal burning. Of those, 262 involved forest encroachment and seven involved illegal forest burning. To prevent and control the situation, the department has already announced the closure of several high-risk conservation forest areas. Anyone found entering those areas illegally to start fires will be arrested and handed over to police for immediate legal action, with...

More backlog! Spooky, foggy forest. That's it.
I used to do a lot of my art using watercolor based brushes. This was just to do some again.

A soft blue sky with a mass of clouds passing a few miles to our west, dropping some visible rain showers on the distant mountains. We are following the western edge of an open stretch of ridge crest covered with grass, scrubby plants and brownish gray rock formations. Several hundred feet below is a broad green valley with lots of forest and scattered clusters of houses and other buildings. A large rolling meadow is below us, with a built-up strip of larger buildings just beyond. The corner of a large lake is on the right not far away. On the far side of the valley, several miles away, a long traprock ridge runs along the horizon, culminating in a pair of south-facing cliffs. A portion of that ridge is catching the rain showers.

Beneath a cloudless sky of pale blue, we are standing near the shore of a lake. A low wooded ridge rises above the far shore. The sun is setting behind it, casting a golden glow along the horizon. On the near shore, a small rocky hill rises to our right. A tree grows right at the top. There are some leafy shrubs and grass growing along the flanks, but mostly a low ground cover plant with tiny leaves that when seen from a distance resembles grass. This ground cover runs tight up to the rocky near shore of the lake and is covered with tiny white flowers. In the foreground, a leafy plant whose leaves are beginning to turn golden brown is throwing out several spherical clusters of tiny flowers at the tip of each branch.
