Fun Fact: The idea of “protected areas” in India owes much to forest policies made during the British colonial era—long before modern ideas of community rights entered the picture.

Fun Fact: Globally, air-conditioning (AC) and cooling appliances use about 7% of the world’s electricity and account for roughly 3.2% of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
