Endemism is the ecological state of a species being unique to a defined geographic location, such as an island, nation, country or other defined zone, or habitat type; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere.

Species richness is the number of different species represented in an ecological community, landscape or region. Species richness is simply a count of species, and it does not take into account the abundances of the species or their relative abundance distributions.

The State of the World's Forests published by Food and Agriculture organization and in reports on the status of forests, recent major policy and institutional developments and key issues concerning the forest sector.

The BioCarbon Fund is a public-private sector initiative managed by the World Bank and supports projects that generate multiple revenue streams.

It combines financial returns from the sale of emission reductions (i.e., carbon credits) which increase local incomes and provide other indirect benefits from sustainable land management practices. Generating multiple revenue streams is crucial to rural communities that otherwise have limited sources of income.

Operation 'clean Art'
▪️Is the first pan India operation conceived by Wildlife crime control bureau to crackdown on the smuggling of mongoose hair.
▪️This operation was carried out to ensure that the mongoose hair brush trade should be closed down across the country.

Mongoose
● There are six species of mongoose found in India are Indian grey mongoose, small Indian mongoose, ruddy mongoose, crab-eating mongoose, stripe-necked mongoose and brown mongoose.
● All mongoose species found in India are protected under Schedule II (Part II) of the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972, which prohibits all trade of animals listed in it.

BHUNGROO
• Bhungroo is a water harvesting system aimed to enhance water-use efficiency.

• The model is to store rainwater underground, which can be recovered by pumping, and recharging the ground water system.

• Its main benefit is farmers can use the water collected in times of need and avoid crop loss

INTERNATIONAL PLATFORM ON SUSTAINABLE FINANCE
• It is a multilateral forum launched in 2019 by public authorities Argentina, Canada, Chile, India, Kenya, Morocco and EU. Representing 45% of global emissions, 40% of global population and 40% of global GDP.
• 7 Observers including UNEP, OECD, EBRD etc.

AIMS
1. Promote best practices in environmentally sustainable finance.
2. Compare different initiatives and identify barriers and opportunities to scale up environmentally sustainable finance.
3. Enhance international coordination on environmentally sustainable finance issues.
4. Scale up mobilisation of private capital towards environmental sustainable finance at global level.
5. Promote integrated markets for environmentally sustainable finance.

The Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety to the Convention on Biological Diversity is an international agreement which aims to ensure the safe handling, transport and use of living modified organisms (LMOs) resulting from modern biotechnology that may have adverse effects on biological diversity, taking also into account risks to human health.

Megadiversity Countries is a term used to refer to the world’s top biodiversity-rich countries.
To qualify as a Megadiverse Country, a country must:
1. Have at least 5000 of the world’s plants as endemics
2. Have marine ecosystems within its borders

Eurythermal animals:

▪️Are those who can tolerate a wide range of temperatures.
▪️They are able to function at a wide range of body temperatures. Eurythermal animals show less sensitivity to temperature or they show comparatively low temperature sensitivity.
▪️Examples of eurythermal animals are desert pupfish, green crabs, tiger, man, cat, dog etc.

Stenothermal animals:
▪️Are those who are able to tolerate a narrow range of temperatures. Marine and soil organisms are mostly stenothermal.
▪️They are able to survive at certain temperatures.
▪️And the temperature of the stenothermal animals varies from species to species. Stenothermal animals are main two types namely thermophilic animals and cryophilic animals.

Thermophilic animals:
▪️can live only in higher temperatures. Examples of thermophilic animals include reptiles, insect species, etc.

Cryophilic animals:

▪️can live only at low temperatures. Seals can be considered as example for cryophilic animals.

Euryhaline organisms
▪️Are able to adapt to a wide range of salinities. An example of a euryhaline fish is the molly (Poecilia sphenops) which can live in fresh water, brackish water, or salt
water.
▪️The green crab (Carcinus maenas) is an example of a euryhaline invertebrate that can live in salt and brackish water.
▪️Euryhaline organisms are commonly found in habitats such as estuaries and tide pools where the salinity changes regularly.
▪️However, some organisms are euryhaline because their life cycle involves migration between freshwater and marine environments, as is the case with salmon and eels.

Renewable Energy Certificates

Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), also known as green energy certificates or tradable renewable certificates are proof that energy has been generated from renewable sources such as solar or wind power.

Each REC represents the environmental benefits of 1MWh of renewable energy generation
