Achieving Carbon Neutrality
Reaching global net‐zero targets has become an urgent priority as businesses and nations face increasing pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Achieving carbon neutrality in manufacturing supply chains requires comprehensive systemic changes across business processes. It demands forward‐looking strategies that guide companies toward long‐term sustainability and net‐zero objectives. While earlier research has identified several drivers and …

Role of protected area in reducing marine and plastic litter
This research is the first to assess marine litter and plastic pollution in India's first marine protected area (MPA), the Gulf of Kachchh Marine Protected Area (GOKMPA). We compare it to two non‐protected areas, that is, Okha Beach and Beyt Dwarka, known for their high industrial and tourist activity, respectively. Standing‐stock surveys were used to collect primary litter data, while questionnaire surveys were used to learn about people's perce…
Past records and current distribution of seabirds at Larsemann Hills and Schirmacher Oasis, east Antarctica
Seabird populations in Antarctica serve as indicators to assess the impacts of global environmental change. Ecological data on seabirds in Antarctica are scarce due to limited knowledge on their distribution and abundance in most parts of the continent. In this study, we investigated the status of seabird species around the Indian research stations Bharati at Larsemann Hills, Prydz bay and Maitri at Schirmacher Oasis, central Dronning Maud Land l…
Terrestrial protected areas and managed reaches conserve threatened freshwater fish in Uttarakhand, India
Terrestrial protected areas and river reaches managed by local stakeholders can act as management tools for biodiversity conservation. These areas have the potential to safeguard fish species from stressors such as over-fishing, habitat degradation and fragmentation, and pollution. To test this idea, we conducted an evaluation of the potential for managed and unmanaged river reaches, to conserve threatened freshwater fish species. The evaluation …
The ‘tiger of I ndian rivers’
Promoting a fish as a flagship species (i.e. a charismatic animal that promotes awareness) is a management tool to improve the effectiveness of conservation measures. However, to be successful this approach requires strong stakeholder support. To investigate the feasibility of the flagship species approach and degree of stakeholder support in India, semi‐structured interviews were conducted with forest managers, anglers and village members in U t…
