It's against federal law to swim within 50 yards (45 meters) of spinner dolphins in Hawaii&rsquo;s nearshore waters.

33 swimmers reportedly harass dolphins in Hawaii, officials seek action

Hawaii authorities on Tuesday say they have referred 33 people to U.S. law enforcement after the group allegedly harassed a pod of wild dolphins in waters off the Big Island.

It's against federal law to swim within 50 yards (45 meters) of spinner dolphins in Hawaii&rsquo;s nearshore waters.

Hawaii authorities on Tuesday say they have referred 33 people to U.S. law enforcement after the group allegedly harassed a pod of wild dolphins in waters off the Big Island.
It's against federal law to swim within 50 yards (45 meters) of spinner dolphins in Hawaii&rsquo;s nearshore waters. The prohibition went into effect in 2021 amid concerns that so many tourists were swimming with dolphins that the nocturnal animals weren&rsquo;t getting the rest they need during the day to be able to forage for food at night.
The rule applies to areas within two nautical miles (3.7 kilometers) of the Hawaiian Islands and in designated waters surrounded by the islands of Lanai, Maui and Kahoolawe.
The State Department of Land and Natural Resources said in a news release that its enforcement officers came upon the 33 swimmers in Honaunau Bay on Sunday during a routine patrol.
Aerial footage shot by drone shows snorkelers following dolphins as they swim away. The department said its video and photos showed swimmers &ldquo;who appear to be aggressively pursuing, corralling and harassing the pod.&rdquo;
Enforcement officers contacted the group while they were in the water, and told them about the violation. Uniformed officers met the swimmers on land where state and federal officials launched a joint investigation.
Hawaii&rsquo;s spinner dolphins feast on fish and small crustaceans that surface from the ocean&rsquo;s depths at night. When the sun rises, they head for shallow bays to hide from tiger sharks and other predators.
To the untrained eye, the dolphins appear to be awake during the day because they&rsquo;re swimming.
But because they sleep by resting half of their brains and keeping the other half awake to surface and breathe, they may be sleeping even when they&rsquo;re maneuvering through the water.

Indian wildlife biologist honoured with UN’s highest environmental award

Indian wildlife biologist Dr Purnima Devi Barman is among the honourees of this year's Champions of the Earth award, the UN's highest environmental honour, accorded for their transformative action to prevent, halt and reverse ecosystem degradation.
Barman has been honoured with the UN Environment Programme&rsquo;s (UNEP) 2022 Champions of the Earth award in the Entrepreneurial Vision category.
A wildlife biologist, Barman leads the "Hargila Army", an all-female grassroots conservation movement dedicated to protecting the Greater Adjutant Stork from extinction. The women create and sell textiles with motifs of the bird, helping to raise awareness about the species while building their own financial independence.
Barman is also Senior Project Manager of the Avifauna Research and Conservation Division, Aaranyak.
The UNEP website said that at the age of five, Barman was sent to live with her grandmother on the banks of the Brahmaputra River in Assam. "Separated from her parents and siblings, the girl became inconsolable. To distract her, Barman&rsquo;s grandmother, a farmer, started taking her to nearby paddy fields and wetlands to teach her about the birds there." "I saw storks and many other species. She taught me bird songs. She asked me to sing for the egrets and the storks. I fell in love with the birds,&rdquo; said Barman, who has devoted much of her career to saving the endangered greater adjutant stork, the second-rarest stork species in the world.
"Barman&rsquo;s pioneering conservation work has empowered thousands of women, creating entrepreneurs and improving livelihoods while bringing the greater adjutant stork back from the brink of extinction,&rdquo; said Inger Andersen, Executive Director of UNEP.
"Dr Barman&rsquo;s work has shown that conflict between humans and wildlife can be resolved to the benefit of all. By highlighting the damaging impact that the loss of wetlands has had on the species who feed and breed on them, she reminds us of the importance of protecting and restoring ecosystems." According to information on the UNEP website, to protect the stork, Barman knew she had to change perceptions of the bird, known locally as &ldquo;hargila&rdquo; in Assamese (meaning &ldquo;bone swallower&rdquo;) and mobilised a group of village women to help her.
Today the &ldquo;Hargila Army&rdquo; consists of over 10,000 women. They protect nesting sites, rehabilitate injured storks which have fallen from their nests and arrange &ldquo;baby showers&rdquo; to celebrate the arrival of newborn chicks. The greater adjutant stork regularly features in folk songs, poems, festivals and plays.
Since Barman started her conservation programme, the number of nests in the villages of Dadara, Pachariya, and Singimari in Kamrup District have risen from 28 to more than 250, making this the largest breeding colony of greater adjutant storks in the world, UNEP said.
"In 2017, Barman began building tall bamboo nesting platforms for the endangered birds to hatch their eggs. Her efforts were rewarded a couple of years later when the first greater adjutant stork chicks were hatched on these experimental platforms,&rdquo; it added.
Barman said on the UNEP website that one of her biggest rewards has been the sense of pride that has been instilled in the Hargila Army and she hopes their success will inspire the next generation of conservationists to pursue their dreams.
"Being a woman working in conservation in a male-dominated society is challenging but the Hargila Army has shown how women can make a difference,&rdquo; she said.
UNEP said that since its inception in 2005, the annual Champions of the Earth award has been awarded to trailblazers at the forefront of efforts to protect our natural world. It is the UN&rsquo;s highest environmental honour. To date, the award has recognised 111 laureates: 26 world leaders, 69 individuals and 16 organisations. This year a record 2,200 nominations from around the world were received.

Data collected from nearly 300 studies has revealed that exposure to nature can improve physical activity and mental health in children.

According to data collected from nearly 300 studies, contact with nature and greenspace may offer greater health benefits to children.

Lack of nature exposure largely impacts&nbsp;marginalised communities
Urbanisation, increased screentime &amp; sedentary lifestyles reduce nature contact
American Academy of Pediatrics routinely recommends&nbsp;outdoor playtime

The presence of greenspaces&nbsp;is strongly associated with improved physical activity and mental health outcomes in kids, studies suggest.

As per data collected from nearly 300 studies, nature exposure can improve physical activity and mental health in children. The review conducted by the Washington State University and the University of Washington was published online in the journal Pediatrics.

Researchers also found that lack of nature exposure largely impacts marginalised communities that do not have access to residential parks and outdoor spaces. As per the team, not all kids are able to have regular nature contact. This is due partly to urbanisation, increased screen time and more sedentary indoor lifestyles.
The American Academy of Pediatrics routinely recommends outdoor playtime for the better mental health of children. The researchers position their findings in the context of the nation's urgent public health crises around physical inactivity and poor mental health.

Water getting dirty, stinky at tourist hotspot in Shillong allegedly due to sewage released by nearby Eastern Air Command headquarters; probe ordered

Over 74,000 fires have been recorded in the Amazon Rainforest in 2019. But, why should YOU care about it? Amazon is the world’s largest rainforest. It covers approx 5.5 million square kilometres of land in South America.
It is has 4 times more TREES in the Amazon than stars in the MILKY WAY and it produces 20% of the world's oxygen.  It helps to keep the planet cool and is a giant carbon sink. Without it, the Earth will reduce its ability to absorb excess carbon. Illegal gold mining and deforestation are big threats.
About 17% of the forest cover has been lost since 1950s. At the current rate, the Amazon forest could be gone in 40 years. If this is not a warning, what is?
