Western Ghats under direct threat from Sharavathi project: Report
Western Ghats Karnataka Power Corporation Limited Lion-Tailed Macaque biodiversity conservation environmental clearance Varahi Pumped Storage Project A report from a city-based non-governmental organisation has highlighted that legally protected wildlife sanctuaries in theare under direct threat from various projects, especially the Sharavathi Pumped Storage to the report by Mapping Malnad, the's (KPCL) Sharavathi Pumped Storage Hydroelectric Project is advancing based on 'inadequate, misleading, and flawed data,' raising significant environmental and legal concerns. The project, which proposes to divert 279 acres of dense evergreen and semi-evergreen forests in the Sharavathi(LTM) Wildlife Sanctuary, has already been approved by the State Wildlife Board and the Karnataka government. It now awaits Stage-I approval from the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (MoEF&CC).'This project will create a system that consumes eight hours of coal-powered energy to generate just six hours of hydropower. It is fundamentally inefficient and results in a net energy loss,' said Nirmala Gowda, founder of Mapping Malnad. 'More critically, it opens up dense evergreen forests—vital carbon sinks and turns them into carbon sources.'The report argues that the project, while marketed as a green initiative to stabilise the power grid, is actually a setback to climate goals and. It also warns that the project'shas been obtained by misrepresenting forest land use. KPCL claimed a requirement of 39.79 hectares in its application, but clearance was granted for 54.155 hectares. As per the Forest (Conservation) Rules, any diversion above 50 hectares necessitates a Biodiversity Impact Assessment—one that KPCL successfully avoided through while KPCL claimed only 20 trees would be felled, Mapping Malnad estimates the true number at over 16,000, including massive girth evergreen trees. The project also involves the use of 18,000 tons of industrial explosives and will generate approximately 14.49 lakh cubic metres of excavated muck adding to the environmental sanctuary is a crucial habitat for numerous endangered species, particularly the Lion-tailed Macaque, a primate found only in the Western Ghats. The Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 allows diversions within sanctuaries only if they are in the interest of wildlife, a standard that, the report argues, this project fails to said that project documents submitted to authorities contain misinformation and key omissions that compromise the integrity of the clearance process. The project has also been fragmented into smaller components, which environmentalists say is a tactic used to bypass comprehensive review of its ecological the Sharavathi project is not an isolated case. The report flags that the proposedwill require about 612 acres from the Someshwara and Mookambika Wildlife Sanctuaries. It warns that the approvals granted so far are setting a dangerous precedent, with at least 11 more such projects potentially targeting protected areas across the Western Ghats.'No hydroelectric project that clears 279 acres of evergreen habitat, fells nearly 15,000 trees, and disrupts a fragile forest ecosystem can credibly claim to be in the interest of wildlife,' Gowda said. 'Yet, the Karnataka government has greenlit it.'The report was developed in consultation with grassroots activists and reflects growing citizen concern over weakening environmental governance. Gowda called for the immediate establishment of a 'Western Ghats Ecology Authority' to strengthen protections and ensure accountability.'These forests are not just ecological treasures—they are also Bengaluru's most vital water infrastructure,' she said. 'We hope the authorities will reconsider this project in light of the facts. It simply doesn't make sense.'

Can wild monkeys in Florida give people herpes?
They might not be the first animal that comes to mind when you think of Florida's wildlife, but beware: wild rhesus macaque monkeys in the Sunshine State have tested positive for the Herpes B virus, and contracting it can prove deadly. Nearly 200 rhesus macaque monkeys live in and roam Florida's Silver Spring State Park, where they were first introduced almost 100 years ago, local outlet Click Orlando reports. Now, they can be found all over the state, and sightings are on the rise, according to the outlet. Several central Florida counties, including Marion, Seminole and Lake counties, have seen an increase in Macaque sightings over the last two years, Click Orlando reports. Similarly, several monkeys were reported roaming Orange City in Volusia County last month, CBS News reports. Many of them carry diseases, including Herpes B virus, which can cause an 'extremely rare' but 'serious and even deadly' infection, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The virus, while rare, can be spread through an infected monkey's bite or scratch; coming into contact with an infected monkey's skin or fluid; scratching or cutting yourself on a contaminated cage or other sharp surface; or being exposed to the brain, spinal cord, or skull of the infected monkey, the CDC says. The first signs of infection include flu-like symptoms, such as fever and chills, the CDC says. Then, it's possible to develop small blisters near the wound or area where one had contact with the monkey. The virus then causes swelling in the brain and spinal cord. The disease can cause 'severe brain damage or death' if contracted, according to the CDC. Macaque monkeys can become aggressive when fed, leading to a higher probability of a scratch or bite — that's why the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission prohibited feeding them in 2018, Click Orlando reports. 'If you are in a place with macaque monkeys, stay away from them so that you don't get bitten or scratched,' the CDC states on its website. 'You should not touch or feed monkeys.' The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission says residents should never approach or feed monkeys. If a monkey is around, residents should keep children close and pets leashed. Residents should also dispose of uneaten food and other garbage in closed containers to prevent attracting the monkeys. If you're bitten or scratched by a monkey, seek medical attention and wash the wound immediately. Also call the National B Virus Resource Center: 404-413-6650. Any resident who observes a wild monkey that poses a threat can call the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's wildlife alert hotline: 888-404-3922.
