Happy International Lizard Day! 🦎

Today, we spotlight the incredible lizard species native to India. From the mighty Water Monitor Lizard roaming our forests to the rare, herbivorous Indian Spiny-tailed Lizard in the Thar desert, our ecosystems rely heavily on these reptiles to control pests and balance the food web.Unfortunately, about one-third of India’s agamid lizards are threatened due to rapid habitat loss, urbanization, and illegal poaching.

Species like the striking Indian Chameleon and various monitor lizards are protected under the Wildlife (Protection) Act, but they need our awareness to survive. Let’s protect their natural habitats and stop the myths that endanger them. Have you ever spotted any of these native species?

On 8th & 9th August, the Regional Museum of Natural History (RMNH), Bhubaneswar, in collaboration with Earth Crusaders Organisation (ECO), organised a two-day programme dedicated to "Elephant conservation in Odisha" for World Elephant Day

The first day engaged Higher Secondary students through a quiz exploring elephant ecology and Movie screening. The second brought together UG/PG students for oral presentations on “Mitigating Conflict in Corridors: Elephants in Odisha’s Landscape.”

The programme encouraged young minds to look beyond the species and understand the interconnected challenges of habitat fragmentation, elephant corridors and human–elephant conflict.

Connected landscapes. Informed communities. Coexistence.

On the occasion of World Otter Day, Earth Crusaders co-hosted an awareness programme with Sundarvan Mini Zoo ( ) in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The programme aimed to spread awareness about otter conservation and the importance of protecting aquatic ecosystems across India.

The event witnessed active participation from zoo visitors, wildlife enthusiasts, students, and nature lovers. The programme was enriched with discussions on wild otters and the significant conservation initiatives undertaken in Gujarat for their protection and habitat conservation. Participants were introduced to the ecological importance of otters, which are semi-aquatic mammals belonging to the Mustelidae family and serve as important key indicators of healthy riverine and wetland ecosystems.

Awareness sessions highlighted the threats faced by otters, including habitat degradation, pollution, illegal trading, and depletion of fish resources. Through interactive discussions, visitors learned about the role of wetlands and rivers in supporting biodiversity and maintaining ecological balance. The celebration concluded with a documentary screening showcasing otter behaviour, habitat use, conservation challenges, and successful conservation efforts from different parts of India, inspiring visitors towards wildlife conservation and wetland protection.
