The Uttarakhand government has in recent years introduced several measures to facilitate the mining of riverbed materials such as sand, gravel and stone s that are used in construction. In 2020, the government in two separate orders increased extraction depth from 1.5 m to 3 m and allowed excavation on private lands. Activists fear these relaxations will lead to excess mining and disrupt the ecology of the riverbeds by changing water flows and increasing the impact of floods.

Garbage dumps are changing food habits of animals such as this langur seen in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, chewing on a wrapper. A 2019 study published in Current Science says some species are becoming increasingly dependent on anthropogenic food waste and can accidentally ingest plastic leading to several health problems such as stomach ulcers, reproductive disruptions and premature death.

India banned the use of diclofenac 16 years ago. It is now only permitted for human use. But diclofenac is being misused for cattle treatments. “Such treatments are usually prescribed by quacks,” says Vibhu Prakash, deputy director, Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS). Here, a Eurasian Griffon and a cinereous vulture are seen in Jorbeer in Rajasthan.

It has been over three decades since India’s vultures suffered a drastic decline in population due to consuming carcasses infected with the drug, diclofenac. Vulture populations still bear the scars of that decade. Here, Eurasian griffon vultures are seen in the Jorbeer Conservation Reserve in Bikaner, Rajasthan.

Also, the rampant use of three non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) threatens to undo two decades of work by the Centre to arrest the dwindling vulture population in the wild. The three drugs - aeclofenac, ketoprofen and nimesulide - were introduced as alternatives to diclofenac. Here, a Himalayan Grifforn and cinereous vulture are seen in Jorbeer, Rajasthan.
