Dolphins make a comeback in Pearl River Estuary
Part of: GS Prelims and GS-III – Environment; Biodiversity
In news
According to a recent report, Chinese pink dolphins/Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins are making a comeback in the Pearl River Estuary (PRE).
Key takeaways
Dolphins use echolocation to find their way in the water.
The ships often disturb them in finding their way and even kill them.
However, dolphin numbers in the waters between Hong Kong and Macau have seen a rebound in 2020 because Covid-19 pandemic has stopped ferries and hence reduced their traffic.
The number of pink dolphins in the waters has roughly increased by a third according to scientists.
Important value additions
Pearl River Estuary
It includes Hong Kong, Macau and the mainland Chinese cities of Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Dongguan.
The Pearl River Delta is the low-lying area which surrounds the PRE where the Pearl River flows into the South China Sea.
The Delta is one of the world’s most densely urbanised, heavily industrialised and busiest shipping lanes on Earth.
Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphin
Scientific Name: Sousa Chinensis.
Habitat: Coastal waters of the eastern Indian and western Pacific Oceans.
The World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF) has seen a decline in their numbers in the past 15 years by 70-80%.
Threats: (1) Agricultural, industrial, and urban pollution; (2) Overfishing; (3) Marine construction; (4) Transport; (5) Selling into captivity at marine entertainment parks and aquariums
IUCN Status: Vulnerable
Do you know?
Echolocation is a technique used by bats, dolphins and other animals to determine the location of objects using reflected sound.
This allows the animals to move around in pitch darkness, so they can navigate, hunt, identify friends and enemies, and avoid obstacles.

Zoological Survey of India lists 62 species of Skinks
Part of: GS Prelims and GS-III – Environment; Biodiversity
In news
A recent publication by the Zoological Survey of India (ZSI) reveals that India is home to 62 species of skinks.
Title of the publication: Skinks of India.
Key takeaways
It gives a phylogenetic (evolutionary development) and bio-geographical analysis of distribution of these species in all the 11 bio-geographic zones of India.
India is home to less than 4% of the skinks across the globe.
62 species of skinks are found in India.
About 57% of them (33 species) are endemic.
The four genera of skinks which are endemic to India are: (1) Sepsophis punctatus is endemic to the northern part of Eastern Ghats; (2) Barkudia are limbless skinks found in the hills and coastal plains of the eastern coast; (3) Kaestlea, also known as blue-tailed ground skinks, are endemic to the Western Ghats; (4) Ristella, also known as Cat skinks, are endemic to the southern part of Western Ghats.
Important value additions
Skinks
It is the largest family of lizards.
There are 1,602 species of skinks across the world.
It has long body relatively small or no legs, no pronounced neck and glossy scales.
It is found around homes, garages, and open spaces such as sparks and school playgrounds, and around lakes.
Skinks are non-venomous, highly alert, agile and fast moving.
They actively forage for a variety of insects and small invertebrates.
They have a prominent role in maintaining ecosystems.
However, not much is known about their breeding habits, and ecology because identification of the species can be confusing.
In India skinks are found in all kinds of habitats in the country, from the Himalayas to the coasts and from dense forests to the deserts.
Do you know?
Barkudia insularis is believed to be found only in the Barkud Island in Chilka lake in Odisha.
Barkudia melanosticta is endemic to Visakhapatnam.

Ghar Tak Fibre Scheme
The government's ambitious 'Ghar Tak Fibre' scheme which aims to connect all the villages with high-speed internet is off to a slow start in poll-bound Bihar.
Note the features of FTTH connections. They make a perfect case for a statement based prelims question. Also, try this PYQ:
Q.Consider the following statements regarding optical fibres:
A layer called the cladding, which has a refractive index more than that of the core, surrounds the core of the optical fibre.
Light is propagated in an optical fibre by refraction and internal reflection.
Ghar Tak Fibre scheme
The Scheme will be implemented by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology.
It aims to connect all 45,945 villages of Bihar with high-speed optical fibre internet by 31st March 2021.
Under the scheme, Bihar has to provide at least five fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) connections per village and at least one WiFi hotspot per village.
What is FTTH?
Fiber to the home (FTTH), also called fibre to the premises (FTTP), is the installation and use of optical fibre from a central point directly to individual buildings such as residences, apartment buildings and businesses to provide high-speed internet access.
FTTH dramatically increases connection speeds available to computer users compared with technologies now used in most places.
FTTH promises connection speeds of up to 100 megabits per second (Mbps).

Other boundary disputes in North-East
During British rule, Assam included present-day Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh and Meghalaya besides Mizoram, which became separate state one by one. Today, Assam has boundary problems with each of them.
Nagaland shares a 500-km boundary with Assam.
In two major incidents of violence in 1979 and 1985, at least 100 persons were killed. The boundary dispute is now in the Supreme Court
On the Assam-Arunachal Pradesh boundary (over 800 km), clashes were first reported in 1992, according to the same research paper.
Since then, there have been several accusations of illegal encroachment from both sides, and intermittent clashes. This boundary issue is being heard by the Supreme Court.
The 884-km Assam-Meghalaya boundary, too, witnesses flare-ups frequently. As per Meghalaya government statements, today there are 12 areas of dispute between the two states.

Assam-Mizoram Boundary Dispute

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has asked Assam and Mizoram to maintain peace and display "no aggressive posturing" after violent clashes took place at the border between the two States on Saturday night.
Can you recall the chronology of reorganization of the entire North-East region?
What is the issue?
Assam has had a boundary dispute with Mizoram for decades and several rounds of talks have been held since 1994-95 to solve the issue.
Till 1972, Mizoram was a part of Assam and acquired full statehood in 1987.
The 164.6 km-long border between the States runs along with Cachar, Hailakandi and Karimganj districts in Assam and Kolasib, Mamit and Aizawl districts in Mizoram.
There are several border areas where violence have been reported.
How complex is this dispute?
In the Northeast's complex boundary equations, showdowns between Assam and Mizoram residents are less frequent than they are.
The boundary between present-day Assam and Mizoram, 165 km long today, dates back to the colonial era when Mizoram was known as Lushai Hills, a district of Assam.
The dispute stems from a notification of 1875 that differentiated Lushai Hills from the plains of Cachar, and another of 1933 that demarcates a boundary between Lushai Hills and Manipur.
Mizoram believes the boundary should be demarcated on the basis of the 1875 notification, which is derived from the Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation (BEFR) Act, 1873.
Mizo leaders have argued in the past argued against the demarcation notified in 1933 because Mizo society was not consulted.
