With the increasing frequency of cyclones and saline intrusion into freshwater sources, the tiger’s habitat is shrinking, forcing them into human-dominated landscapes...

  Boomi Connect: A Journey Across India's Climate Frontlines In an era where climate change has moved from future threat to present reality, an extraordinary expedition is taking shape across India's diverse landscapes. The Environment Conservation Group (ECG)'s SEEK expedition Boomi Connect, launching in April 2025, represents an unprecedented three-month journey that will traverse about 20,000 kilometers of India's terrain, from the majestic Himalayas to its vibrant coastal ecosystems. The urgency of this mission cannot be overstated. As we process the sobering reality of 2024—the hottest year ever recorded and the first to breach the critical 1.5°C threshold—we find ourselves in uncharted territory. Global tipping points, once considered distant concerns, now loom on the horizon, demanding immediate and decisive action. What sets Boomi Connect apart is its innovative approach to understanding and addressing climate change. This pioneering expedition weaves toge...
