Yesterday during a seed training in the #Sundarbans in the Bay of Bengal,women farmers asked why the commercial seeds they buy in the market have a red coating .I explained to them that the coating is with neonics which was made mandatory for seed sales penguinrandomhouse.com/books…
Just one #GMO corn seed coated with #neonics can kill over 80,000 #bees or one songbird. Pesticide giants like #Monsanto have been selling these deadly seeds with no safety testing or regulation for decades and almost half US farmland is planted with them commondreams.org/opinion/sav…

The last known pic of the Rhino of Sunderbans. They went completely extinct by 19th cent. due to unregulated hunting by the British. This last Rhino was sold to @uk_zoo for £5K & lived there till it died in 1885. With its death we lost Sundarbans Rhinos forever. 🦏

“Tiger-charmers are arrogant, just like tigers. You know that tigers have huge egos & attack each other, right? This is the reason why they attack tiger-charmers—they see them as another tiger. They’re like brothers.” @AnnuJal on the tiger-charmers buff.ly/3ypQrBd
