Wildlife crossings like underpasses and overpasses are essential components to prevent roadkill and habitat isolation.

Green corridors connect fragmented habitats, allowing wildlife to move safely and maintain genetic diversity.

Ocean acidification is frequently called 'the other CO2 problem' alongside global warming.

Calcifying organisms struggle to build their shells and skeletons as ocean acidity increases.

Ocean acidification occurs when the ocean absorbs excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, lowering the pH level.

The strategy focuses on the restoration of degraded ecosystems to enhance ecological resilience.

The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) is the nodal agency responsible for implementing this strategy.

The strategy aligns with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework to halt and reverse biodiversity loss.

The LCA Tejas Mk1A variant incorporates advanced avionics, including an Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar, which significantly enhances its combat capabilities.

While the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) under DRDO is responsible for design, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) is the primary manufacturer of the LCA Tejas.
