The Sunderbans;A Wildlife treat

The Sundarbans mangrove forest, one of the largest such forests in the world (140,000 ha), lies on the delta of the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna rivers on the Bay of Bengal. It is adjacent to the border of India’s Sundarbans World Heritage site inscribed in 1987. The site is intersected by a complex network of tidal waterways, mudflats and small islands of salt-tolerant mangrove forests, and presents an excellent example of ongoing ecological processes. The area is known for its wide range of fauna, including 260 bird species, the Bengal tiger and other threatened species such as the estuarine crocodile and the Indian python.

The beautiful sundarbans are know for it rich territory and footprints for the crocodiles.Its a tourist treat for the people visiting the Delta.The West Bengal Tourism in its tourist package has special one night boat ride along the shore of the sundarbans which is often termed as  the most horrifying journey in your entire lifetime. Sundebans supports an exceptional biodiversity with a wide range of flora and fauna, including the Bengal Tiger and provides a significant example of on-going ecological processes (monsoon rains, flooding, delta formation, tidal influence and plant colonization).

The Sundarbans consist of three wildlife sanctuaries (Sundarbans West, East and South) lying on disjunct deltaic islands just west of the main outflow of the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna rivers, close to the border with India.
The sanctuaries are intersected by a complex network of tidal waterways, mud flats and small islands of salt tolerant mangrove forests. The area is flooded with brackish water during high tides which mix with freshwater from inland rivers.

The Royals and the Tigers

Tigers are the largest members of the cat family and are renowned for their power and strength.

There were eight tiger subspecies at one time, but three became extinct during the 20th century. Over the last 100 years, hunting and forest destruction have reduced tiger populations from hundreds of thousands of animals to perhaps fewer than 2,500. Tigers are hunted as trophies, and also for body parts that are used in traditional Chinese medicine. All five remaining tiger subspecies are endangered, and many protection programs are in place.
Bengal tigers live in India and are sometimes called Indian tigers. They are the most common tiger and number about half of all wild tigers. Over many centuries they have become an important part of Indian tradition and lore.

Tigers live alone and aggressively scent-mark large territories to keep their rivals away. They are powerful nocturnal hunters that travel many miles to find buffalo, deer, wild pigs, and other large mammals. Tigers use their distinctive coats as camouflage (no two have exactly the same stripes). They lie in wait and creep close enough to attack their victims with a quick spring and a fatal pounce. A hungry tiger can eat as much as 60 pounds (27 kilograms) in one night, though they usually eat less.
Despite their fearsome reputation, most tigers avoid humans; however, a few do become dangerous maneaters. These animals are often sick and unable to hunt normally, or live in an area where their traditional prey has vanished.
Unfortunately they are on the verge on extinction and several Governmental and Non Governmental organization are carrying out campaigns and raising funds to save these precious species.

If we dont end war,war will end us.

SYRIA WAR PROFILE

Syrian civil war, also referred to as the Syrian uprising, is an ongoing armed conflict in Syria, being fought between forces loyal to the Ba'ath Party government and those seeking to oust it. The conflict began on 15 March 2011 with public demonstrations as part of the wider Arab Spring Protesters demanded the end to nearly five decades of Ba'ath Party rule, as well as the resignation of President Bashar Al-Assad..

In April 2011, the Syrian government deployed the Syrian army to quell the uprising and soldiers were ordered to open fire on civilians. After months of military sieges, the protests evolved into an armed rebellion as opposition forces became increasingly armed and organized as they unified into larger groups, as well as receiving military aid from several foreign countries. However, the armed opposition remained fractured, without organized leadership. The Syrian government characterizes the insurgency as "armed terrorist groups."

The Arab League,United States, European Union states and other countries have condemned the use of violence against the protesters. China and Russia have opposed attempts to agree to a UN resolution condemning Assad's actions, and advised against sanction, saying that such methods could escalate into foreign intervention.The Arab League suspended Syria's membership over the government's response to the crisis,but sent an observer mission in December 2011, as part of its proposal for peaceful resolution of the crisis. A further attempt to resolve the crisis has been made through the appointment of Kofi Annan as a Special envoy. U.N Secretary General  Ban-ki-Moon had repeatedly stated that the Syrian conflict could emerge into an "all-out civil war".

On 15 July 2012, the International Committee of the Red Cross assessed the Syrian conflict as a "non-international armed conflict" (the ICRC's legal term for civil war), thus applying International Humanitarian Law under the Geneva Convention  to Syria.

According to various sources, including the United Nations, between 23,000 and 38,000 people have been killed, of which about half were civilians, but also including 13,600 armed combatants consisting of both the Syrian army and rebel forces and up to 2,000 opposition protesters. According to the UN, about 1.5 million Syrians have been displaced within the country.To escape the violence, tens of thousands of Syrian refugee have fled the country to neighboring Iraqi Kurdistan,Jordan,Lebanon and Turkey. Iraq has closed its border to Syrian refugees, while no Syrian refugees have yet arrived at the Israeli border.In addition, tens of thousands of protesters have been imprisoned, and there have been reports of widespread torture in the government's prisons.

International organizations have also accused the government and Shahiba of using civilians as human sheilds,of intentionally targeting civilians and of adopting a scorched earth policy.Anti-government rebels have been accused of human rights abuses as well, including torture, kidnapping, unlawful detention and execution of civilians, Shabiha, and soldiers. HRW also expressed concern at the kidnapping of Iranian nationals. The UN Commission of Inquiry has also documented abuses of this nature, and also has documentation that indicates rebel forces have been responsible for displacement of civilians.
