Similipal Biosphere Reserve in Mayurbhanj district is moving towards becoming forest-fire free through modern technology and community awareness. After devastating fires in 2021 that saw over 2,800 fire points, the forest department has implemented a blueprint involving AI-enabled drones, satellites, and specialized ODRAF teams. Currently, 14 to 60 drones are monitoring the 2,750 sq km area, allowing fire detection within 2-3 minutes. This proactive approach, combined with local awareness programs, has significantly reduced the frequency of human-induced forest fires in Asia's largest biosphere. https://sambad.in/special/biosphere-shimilipal-towards-fire-free-environment-11870638 #creator program

The Pakidi forest area in Ganjam district, Odisha, has become a natural habitat for thousands of peacocks across 1970 hectares. While residents of 12 surrounding villages and forest committees actively protect these birds from hunters, the government is criticized for its lack of initiative in eco-tourism development and infrastructure. There is no official census of the peacock population, and previous incidents of poisoning highlight the need for better conservation efforts and administrative focus on this potential tourist destination. https://sambad.in/special/pakidi-the-peacocks-open-space-11870627 #creator program
