biodiversity heritage sites

A study reveals that by 2100, most natural world heritage sites will be exposed to extreme climate events, including heat, heavy rain, and drought. Urgent action on emissions and adaptation strategies is needed to protect these irreplaceable treasures.

A big challenge for anyone trying to take on climate change is finding solutions that don’t create new problems. Climate scientists, for instance, agree that the world needs more solar panels, wind turbines, and transmission lines.

On May 22 we celebrate International Biodiversity Day, which this 2023 has as its motto From agreement to action: rebuilding biodiversity.

The state government of West Bengal has recently added four new biodiversity heritage sites (BHS) to the existing four. Hence, taking the total tally to eight.
