Abstract: Militarisation of space is inevitable as technology empowers space and the cyber domains to control the outcome on the battle ground. The future of warfare is being shaped by cutting-edge and transformational technologies. Space is now influencing how the battles would be fought on the ground, making current land-based systems and traditional technologies relatively redundant.

Abstract: To answer the above questions, we turned to one of our 100 global partner organizations, Espaco Feminista (EF), EF is a Brazilian civil society organization founded in 2008 to contribute to the empowerment of women and to fight for women's land rights, gender and racial justice, democracy, and human rights. The group has made great strides in securing land tenure for women living in vulnerable communities in low-resource peri-urban areas of northeast Brazil.

Abstract: In the time/space conflation of geography and humanity, this is particularly significant moment to reflect on Indigenous mapping. Year 1492 ushered in an explosion in spatial exploration beyond Europe: a "New World" was revealed, and the age of colonization of the Americas began. The Papal Bulls of Pope Alexander VI, the Doctrine of Discovery, and the notion of Terra Nullius set the stage for dispossession and subjugation. Today, Pope Francis represents Indigenous People to the global stage, with his historical apology to the delegation of First People from Canada.

Abstract: On February 24, 2022, after months of speculation and conjecture, Russia invaded Ukraine. For many, it was a moment of deja vu-the visuals of burning cars, desecrated buildings, empty roads and panicked citizens scrambling for safety evoked memories of similar scenes of horror from Syria where years of political unrest had escalated into in unending saga of death, destruction and despair in 2011.The Syrian conflict, which went on for many years, had led to one of the worst refugee situations in the world.

Abstract: GHG Sat's global methane monitoring map of the world looks like angry blotches of red paint sprayed on the canvas. Unfortunately, that is not an artist's imagination. The red is methane emissions. Methane, which is the second most abundant greenhouse gas (GHG) found in the atmosphere after carbon dioxide (CO2) and is more than 25 times as potent in trapping heat.

Abstract: If a man's face is his autobiography and a woman's face is her work of fiction, as oscar Wide wrote, then a country's face is nothing but its map. Cartography-or the science of map-making-is among the earliest human endeavors to chart out the world and understand it. The spirit of human ingenuity, unquenchable zeal, and the desire to make sense of the broader world and connect with it led to this. Maps have accompanied the rise and fall of empires, the discovery of new lands, and the drawing of boundaries, along with vanishing of the old, and forging of the new. They have been central to the human story, in its sublime beauty as well as dismaying horror.

Abstract: SIR, In the recent issue of the Indian Forester, for May 1923, in an article entitled"A Visit to the Forest Research Institute, Dehra Dun,"Mr. R.P Dalley makes the following statement: - "Another important discovery which will bring in lakhs of revenue to Government is the discovery, by Dr. Simonsen, the Forest Chemist, the catalytic action of pyrogallol in preventing the oxidation of Indian turpentine. As a result of this discovery it will now be possible to advertise Indian Turpentine, Grade I, as equal in quality to the best American. The discovery will cost practically nothing to put into operation but will make a marked difference to the revenue budgets of the Resin factories.

Abstract: Marayoor is a small-town Idukki district of Kerala. It is located between Annamalai's, Kannan Devan Hills and Palan Hills. The forests of this area are well known for Sandalwood resources. The two tribal groups found in Marayoor are Muduvans and Hill Pulayas. These tribal communities are located in Marayoor and Kanthalloor Grama Panchayaths. Muduvans are living here inside the forest for many generations and are practicing shifting cultivation, rearing of cattle and collection of Minor Forest Produce (MFP).Hill Pulayas were basically hunter-gatherer community possessing rich folklore on landscape, vegetation and animals. Muduvans cultivate ragi, tuber crops, vegetables and lemon grass, by means of organic farming.

Abstract: A forest comprises of different layers, where herbs and shrubs are the major community belong to understory layer. The herb layer of the forest is dominated by herbaceous (or soft-stemmed) plants such as grasses, ferns, windflowers, and other ground covers. Vegetation in the herb layer often gets little light and in forests with thick canopies, shade tolerant species are predominant in the herb layer. The shrub layer is characterized by woody vegetation that grows relatively close to the ground.
