Landscape-level conservation recognizes that biodiversity exists beyond protected areas and requires a holistic approach that considers the entire ecosystem, including connectivity between habitats and human-wildlife interactions.

Habitat loss and fragmentation due to human activities like agriculture, infrastructure projects, and deforestation are the primary drivers of biodiversity loss in the Western Ghats.

While India is committed to reducing pollution, a complete phase-out of all forms of pollution by 2025 is not a specific target aligned with the Kunming-Montreal framework. The framework focuses on biodiversity conservation and ecosystem restoration.

Target 3 of the framework is to ensure that by 2030 at least 30 per cent of terrestrial, inland water, and coastal and marine areas, especially areas of particular importance for biodiversity and ecosystem functions and services, are effectively conserved and managed.

The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework aims to achieve the 'Living in Harmony with Nature' vision for 2050, which includes halting and reversing biodiversity loss.

Agni-V is classified as a surface-to-surface ballistic missile, capable of carrying nuclear warheads.

The Agni-V missile is an indigenous development by India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).

The Agni-V is a surface-to-surface ballistic missile developed by India, with an estimated strike range of over 5,000 km.

AI models significantly reduce the computational burden, allowing researchers to run simulations much faster than traditional physics-based models.

Deep Neural Networks allow AI models to recognize complex patterns in massive climate datasets that traditional models might miss.
