| 2 |  🔆 India’s Land Restoration Architecture
📍 India’s Commitments
🟢 Restore 26 million hectares by 2030 under the Bonn Challenge.
🟢 Pursue the NDC carbon sink target through restoration and increased tree cover.
🟢 India reported 21.76 million hectares restored during 2011–2020.
🟢 Restoration activities generated 1.22 billion person-days of employment.
📍 Major Programmes
🟢 Green India Mission (GIM): Forest restoration and expansion of green cover.
🟢 CAMPA: Compensatory afforestation.
🟢 Nagar Van Yojana: Development of 1,000 urban forests.
🟢 PMKSY + MGNREGS: Watershed, soil and water conservation.
🟢 National Agroforestry Policy, 2014: Promotes trees alongside agricultural systems.
📍 Key Challenges
🟢 Institutional convergence: Land restoration involves at least 8 Central Ministries, with no single nodal agency.
🟢 Finance gap: India has called for diversified, adequate, predictable and sustained international finance, indicating that domestic resources alone may be insufficient.
🟢 LDN accounting: India has not yet submitted a formal Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) target to UNCCD, creating a need to integrate restoration data with the LDN framework.
🟢 Monitoring: Restoration claims need stronger verifiable, landscape-level monitoring.
📍 Prelims Pointers
🟢 UNCCD: United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (1994); one of the three Rio Conventions; Secretariat at Bonn.
🟢 Bonn Challenge: Global restoration pledge — 150 million ha by 2020 and 350 million ha by 2030.
🟢 LDN: Land Degradation Neutrality; linked to SDG 15.3.
🟢 IUCN: Co-launched the Bonn Challenge.
🟢 ICFRE: Houses the Centre of Excellence on Sustainable Land Management.
🟢 NAPCC: Comprises 8 National Missions, including the Green India Mission.
🎯 Mains Question
India’s Bonn Challenge commitment and land restoration achievements have both environmental and socio-economic dimensions.

| 7 |  🔆 Fight Against Drought — From Relief to Resilience
📍 Why in News?
🟢 Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav called for a fundamental shift in the global approach to droughts — from reactive relief to proactive, technology-enabled resilience.
🟢 He made the remarks at the 17th Conference of Parties (COP17) to the UNCCD, being held in Mongolia.
📍 Drought as a Development Challenge
🟢 Droughts are no longer merely occasional events but a defining development challenge.
🟢 They increasingly disrupt global water security, agricultural food systems, biodiversity and economic stability.
🟢 Land degradation currently impacts up to 40% of the planet’s land surface, affecting the livelihoods of billions worldwide.
📍 India’s Approach — “Restore the Forest”
🟢 India called for a coordinated, multi-institutional approach integrating early warning, mitigation, relief and community resilience.
🟢 Rainfall monitoring and satellite-based drought assessments can trigger preparedness at inter-ministerial and State levels.
🟢 Focus on catchment and riverscape forestry to reduce erosion, improve water retention and recharge groundwater.
🟢 Integrate predictive technologies, localised early-warning monitoring and proactive land-management policies.
📍 UNCCD — Prelims Pointers
🟢 UNCCD was adopted in 1994, following the 1992 Rio Earth Summit.
🟢 It is one of the three major Rio Conventions, alongside UNFCCC and CBD.
🟢 It is the sole legally binding international agreement linking environmental management directly to sustainable land stewardship.
🟢 COP17 provides a major negotiation platform on land degradation and drought resilience.
🟢 197 member parties participate along with civil society, scientists and international financial institutions.
📍 COP17 — Key Objective
🟢 The conference aims to translate high-level environmental commitments into measurable, investable solutions for water and food security over the next decade.
🟢 The theme highlighted in the article is “Restoring Land. Restoring Hope.”
🎯 Mains Application:
A resilient drought-management strategy requires a shift from post-disaster relief to anticipatory governance, combining early-warning systems, ecosystem restoration, technology and community participation.
🎯 Mains Question:
“Drought management must move from reactive relief to proactive resilience.” Discuss the measures required to strengthen India’s drought resilience in the context of land degradation and climate change. (15 marks, 250 words)

| 8 |  🔆 Warming Oceans Are Sounding a Warning
📍 Why in News?
🟢 On August 22, rapidly intensifying El Niño + global warming pushed marine temperature to 21.1°C, surpassing the earlier record.
📍 Why Ocean Warming Matters?
🟢 Oceans absorb more than 90% of excess heat generated by global warming.
🟢 Warming stresses marine ecosystems, disrupts food webs and affects weather regulation.
🟢 It contributes to sea-level rise; by end-2025, global average sea level was about 11 cm higher than January 1993.
📍 Impact on India
🟢 Erratic monsoons and extreme weather can intensify flood risks.
🟢 India’s 10,000+ km coastline faces growing risks from rising seas and extreme events.
📍 Way Forward
🟢 Reduce fossil-fuel consumption and accelerate the clean-energy transition.
🟢 Strengthen climate adaptation and resilience alongside mitigation.
🟢 Protect coastal communities and restore natural barriers against waves and flooding.
🟢 Improve urban drainage and promote climate-informed agriculture and water management.
🎯 Mains Question
Q. Ocean warming is both a consequence and an amplifier of climate change. Discuss its implications for India and suggest measures to strengthen climate resilience. (15 marks, 250 words)

| 10 |  🔆 Need for a Second Home for Asiatic Lions
📍 Why in News?
✅ Conservation experts have renewed the demand for establishing a second free-ranging population of Asiatic lions to reduce extinction risk from disease and natural disasters.
📍 Current Status
✅ Asiatic lion population has increased to around 891
✅ Nearly the entire wild population is confined to the Gir Landscape, Gujarat
✅ A single geographically concentrated population remains highly vulnerable
📍 Why a Second Population is Needed
✅ Reduces risk from epidemics, forest fires and natural disasters
✅ Enhances genetic diversity and long-term species survival
✅ Prevents extinction from a single catastrophic event
✅ Follows the metapopulation approach by distributing populations across multiple habitats
📍 Major Concerns
✅ 2018 Canine Distemper Virus (CDV) outbreak killed several lions in Gir
✅ Dense, isolated populations are more susceptible to disease outbreaks
✅ Droughts, wildfires and prey decline can disproportionately impact a single population
📍 Supreme Court Judgment (2013)
✅ Directed translocation of Asiatic lions from Gir National Park (Gujarat) to Kuno National Park (Madhya Pradesh)
✅ Held that conservation decisions must be based on ecological principles, not regional interests
✅ Declared Asiatic lions are a national heritage, not the property of any one State
📍 Present Status
✅ Despite habitat restoration, no lions have been relocated to Kuno
✅ Project Lion (2020) seeks to expand lion conservation
✅ Barda Wildlife Sanctuary (Gujarat) has been proposed as an alternative site, though experts favour a geographically distant second population
📍 Way Forward
✅ Establish a second free-ranging population outside Gir
✅ Adopt a landscape-level conservation strategy
✅ Strengthen disease surveillance and habitat connectivity
✅ Balance ecological priorities with inter-state cooperation
📍 Prelims Nuggets
✅ Only wild population of Asiatic lions is found in Gir Landscape, Gujarat
✅ Kuno National Park is located in Madhya Pradesh
✅ Project Lion was launched in 2020 for Asiatic lion conservation
✅ Canine Distemper Virus (CDV) is a major disease threat to wild carnivores
✅ Mains Practice
Discuss the ecological and governance challenges in establishing a second free-ranging population of Asiatic lions in India. (GS III)

| 15 |  🔆 SC Bans Constructions Near Rajasthan’s Jojari River
📍 Why in News?
🟢 The Supreme Court has banned construction/development activities within 100 metres of the Jojari River in Rajasthan.
🟢 Hazardous industries are prohibited within 500 metres on either side of the existing flood line along the river’s flow path.
📍 Why is it Important?
🟢 The Jojari has faced severe pollution and contamination, affecting livelihoods and communities in the water-scarce State.
🟢 The Court has also asked Rajasthan to prepare a 20-point resolution plan to address contamination in the Jojari, Bandi and Luni rivers.
🟢 The Bandi and Jojari merge with the Luni near Balotra.
📍 Industrial Relocation
🟢 The Court had earlier observed that the industrial area in Pali, located along the riverbank, may need to be relocated away from the river in the long run.
📍 Environmental Significance
🟢 The order reflects the precautionary principle and the need to protect river ecosystems from industrial and developmental pressures.
🟢 It highlights the importance of river-sensitive urban and industrial planning.
📌 Case Study / Example
🟢 Jojari River, Rajasthan: Supreme Court-mandated restrictions demonstrate judicial intervention to control industrial pollution and protect river ecosystems.
🎯 Mains Application
River conservation requires integrating environmental protection, industrial regulation and sustainable land-use planning.
🎯 Mains Question

| 18 |  📌 Case Study / Example — Solid Waste Management
Supreme Court’s 2026 Directions on Solid Waste Management
✅ The Supreme Court emphasised that solid waste management cannot be treated as the responsibility of sanitation workers alone.
✅ It directed the Education Department to integrate theoretical and practical lessons on solid waste management for students, enabling them to influence waste-management practices within their families.
✅ The Court called for engagement with households, schools and colleges, stressing that responsible waste management requires participation from every stakeholder.
✅ It highlighted that the growing volume and complexity of waste — biodegradable, non-biodegradable, hazardous, electronic and construction waste — has exceeded what any single category of workers can handle.
✅ The Court also stressed that law alone cannot create good civic behaviour; behavioural change must come from within society.
🎯 Mains Application

✅ Forest Clearance was accorded by MoEFCC
📍 Environmental Concerns & Mitigation
✅ The project involves environmental impacts, particularly concerning the Panna Tiger Reserve (PTR) and the wider Panna landscape.
✅ Measures include compensatory afforestation, wildlife conservation, habitat management, catchment-area treatment and biodiversity protection.
✅ The Wildlife Institute of India (WII) prepared an Integrated Landscape Management Plan (ILMP) for the Greater Panna Landscape.
✅ The Greater Panna Landscape Council (GPLC) has been constituted under the chairmanship of the Chief Secretary, Madhya Pradesh.
📌 Case Study / Example
✅ Greater Panna Landscape: KBLP combines infrastructure development with landscape-level conservation through the ILMP, aimed at protecting species such as Tiger, Vulture and Gharial.
🎯 Mains Application
KBLP illustrates the challenge of balancing water security and regional development with ecological conservation, tribal rights and rehabilitation of project-affected families.
📍 Key Takeaway
✅ KBLP should not be viewed merely as a river-linking/irrigation project; the PIB presents it as a broader water-security, energy, agricultural and regional-development initiative, with rehabilitation and environmental safeguards forming an integral part of implementation.
