✅Jeypore Ground Gecko
🅾️Main issue- Mining is killing the habitat of this species- For a range-restricted species, protecting its remaining habitat can be essential to preventing global extinction
⚠️How to guess in exam- Moist hill forests may function like habitat islands within a generally drier landscape. The rediscovery paper proposed that the species might be a wet-zone relict a survivor in moist refuges as surrounding regions became drier. Known distribution is therefore not necessarily its complete distribution. But moving it to another forest without understanding these requirements would be an uncertain conservation strategy.

✅Earth observation satellite EOS-05
🅾️What?- India’s first ever imaging satellite to monitor from Geosynchronous orbit about 36,000 km above the Earth.
🅾️Context: Usually, Earth Observation Satellites (EOS) are placed in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) (around 500–800 km) to get detailed, close-up pictures of the Earth.Placed approximately 36,000 km above Earth, a satellite in GEO matches the Earth's rotation. This allows EOS-05 to continuously monitor the Indian subcontinent in real-time without interruption, earning it the nickname ‘Eye in the Sky’.
📌Applications: It provides real-time data crucial for disaster management, environmental monitoring, agriculture, and strategic national activities.
⚠️Launch vehicle- At 2367 kg, EOS-05 is the heaviest satellite injected into orbit by this specific configuration of the GSLV so far.

✅Barren land fallacy
📌Natural ecosystems are not always forests.Barren-land fallacy is the mistaken assumption that land without trees is ecologically deficient and should be converted into forest.Grasslands are degraded forests and naturally evolve into forests if left undisturbed.
⚠️Ecological Restoration = Restores the ecosystem that would naturally occur there.vs Afforestation=Creates tree cover, including where forest may not naturally occur.
🅾️Treeless landscapes may be fully functional ecosystems such as:
⚜️Grasslands
⚜️Savannas
⚜️Scrublands
⚜️Wetlands
⚜️Deserts
⚜️Alpine meadows

✅Lepidoptera = Butterflies + Moths
📌Very little of this article is directly useful. Around 80% is journalistic detail but that 20% is UPSC-worthy.
🅾️Lepidoptera perform multiple ecosystem services: This can easily become an assertion-reason question.
⚠️Imp facts
1. Many moths are important nocturnal pollinators.
2.Butterflies are generally diurnal but most moths are nocturnal (with exceptions).
