Environment

Binturong

The binturong, also known as the bearcat, is a viverrid native to South and Southeast Asia. It is uncommon in much of its range, and has been assessed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List because of a declining population trend that is estimated at more than 30% since the mid-1980s.

The binturong is the only living species in the genus Arctictis.

The binturong occurs from India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia to Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Yunnan in China, and Sumatra, Kalimantan and Java in Indonesia to Palawan in the Philippines

The binturong is active during the day and at night. Three sightings in Pakke Tiger Reserve were by day

Major threats to the binturong are habitat loss and degradation of forests through logging and conversion of forests to non-forest land-uses throughout the binturong’s range

India included the binturong in CITES Appendix III and in Schedule I of the Wild Life Protection Act 1973, so that it has the highest level of protection.


Hon.PM’s Article

Key words

  • “One Earth, One Family, One Future”
  • Panch tatva– earth, water, fire, air and space Housing one sixth of humanity, and with its immense diversity of languages, religions, customs and beliefs, India is a microcosm of the world.
  • Our priorities will focus on healing our “One Earth”, creating harmony within our “One Family” and giving hope for our “One Future”.

For healing our planet, we will encourage sustainable and environment friendly lifestyles, based on India’s tradition of trusteeship towards nature.

For promoting harmony within the human family, we will seek to depoliticise the global supply of food, fertilizers and medical products, so that geopolitical tensions do not lead to humanitarian crises. As in our own families, those whose needs are the greatest must always be our first concern.

For imbuing hope in our future generations, we will encourage an honest conversation among the most powerful countries — on mitigating risks posed by weapons of mass destruction and enhancing global security. India’s G-20 agenda will be inclusive, ambitious, action oriented, and decisive

    Every installation comes with stainless steel micro‑mesh guards that laugh at fir needles, keeping maintenance low even during those blustery November storms. We recycle all old metal so Beaufort’s landfills stay lighter and your project leaves a greener footprint on the Pacific Northwest we all love. Beaufort’s notoriously unpredictable rain makes high-capacity seamless gutters an absolute must for any homeowner who wants long‑term protection and peace of mind.

    Investing in quality gutters is like buying the good umbrella—it costs a bit more up front but saves you from soaking through your socks every single storm. Proper downspout extensions send runoff well past your flowerbeds so you spend weekends gardening instead of dealing with muddy erosion trenches. Homeowners across Proctor District rave that our color‑matched downspouts actually enhance curb appeal instead of looking like cheap after‑thoughts.
