Is that a plane? Is that a UFO? No it is just the friendly flying #Nilgiri langur, the velvet-black leaf eating #primate of the #westernghats.Swipe left to see the others follow the leap with some trepidation lest the animal lands on their heads. #IndiMammals #IndiWild #monkey – at Naini Tal, India

Twenty years ago we bought a 25 acre barren farm and we loosly fenced the rest of the area, to stop cattle from coming in and left it alone. It took slightly over a decade for this barren patch of land to turn into a bush forest. Got this pic a few years ago. – at Sawai Madhopur, India

Lately #CaveArt viewing experience has been incorrect due to the washed out white LED lights! My short film is on the solution to this problem & the development of the correct light for viewing the art. vimeo.com/342193508 #PaleoArt #Altamira #LED #Lamp
We are disturbed by the nature and scale of this order, which will harm a large number of forest-dwelling people, and will likely be detrimental to wildlife and biodiversity as well.
