    7 Most beautiful grasslands to visit in India

    When people think about the natural beauty of India, they think about snow-clad mountains, dense forests, and golden beaches. However, the country's extensive grasslands are just as stunning, playing a vital role in supporting wildlife, bird species, and entire ecosystems. Referred to as "forgotten ecosystems" of the country, the grasslands in India provide habitats to iconic animals like the Indian wolf, blackbuck, Bengal florican, and critically endangered Great Indian Bustard. According to the Wildlife Institute of India (WII), Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC), UNESCO, these ecosystems are biodiversity hotspots. Here are seven of the most beautiful grasslands in India you should definitely visit.

    Canicule : des bactéries "toxiques" et "dangereuses" prolifèrent dans les zones humides

    À la faveur des chaleurs caniculaires des dix derniers jours, les cyanobactéries se multiplient dans les cours d’eau et lacs de l’Hexagone. Problème, elles sont "potentiellement toxiques", relève ActuPlanète. "Nécessaires à la vie" mais pourtant "potentiellement toxiques". Dans un article d’ActuPlanète, Christophe Laplace-Treyture, un chercheur de l’Inrae (Institut national de recherche pour l’agriculture, l’alimentation et l’environnement), alerte sur la prolifération des cyanobactéries dans les lacs, rivières et fleuves du pays. La faute aux chaleurs caniculaires qui recouvrent l’Hexagone depuis le 18 juin. Des écosystèmes menacés par la chaleur Avec leur couleur bleutée, ces microorganismes créent "l’oxygène atmosphérique présent sur Terre" et se développent dès l’arrivée du printemps à la surface de l’eau, soit sur les lacs et les cours d’eau. Lorsqu’il fait plus de 30 degrés et que le soleil brille des heures durant, les cyanobactéries se reproduisent en masse, quitte à détruire leurs congénères, comme le "reste du phytoplancton" ou "d’autres algues", jusqu’à "déséquilibrer" la biodiversité de ces zones humides, détaille le chercheur. Ce qui inquiète le plus les agences régionales de santé — ARS reste néanmoins leur capacité à "produire des toxines" à l’origine de problèmes de peau (démangeaisons, dermatite), de digestion (vomissements, diarrhée) ou pouvant toucher le cerveau, comme l’explique à ActuPlanète Christophe Laplace-Treyture. Des dommages sur les humains face auxquels les chercheurs restent pour l’instant pantois et démunis… D’où la fermeture de plus d’une dizaine de plans d’eau douce ces derniers jours, en plus de la prévention des noyades. Les mers également menacées Les mers ne semblent pas épargnées par la prolifération de bactéries dangereuses pour les organismes vivants. Science & Vie rapporte la colonisation de zones côtières dans le sud de l’Europe par une bactérie mangeuse de chair, friande des fortes chaleurs et du réchauffement des mers. Le risque est particulièrement important dans les zones où l’eau douce rencontre l’eau salée. Une fois les humains ou les humains infectés, la bactérie déclenche une fasciite nécrosante, c’est-à-dire une destruction rapide des tissus.

    A surprising Arctic discovery shows melting icebergs are quietly building hidden neighborhoods on the ocean floor

    Melting icebergs are creating hidden arctic homes as disappearing glaciers reshape the deep ocean. Scientists found that iceberg-carried rocks are reaching the seafloor and forming rare habitats for marine life. This Arctic climate change discovery shows how glacier loss, ocean ecosystems, and deep-sea biodiversity are becoming connected in unexpected ways beneath polar waters.
