MP News: State Achieves 60% Plantation Target, Bhopal Hills To Bloom By 2026

**Madhya Pradesh Progresses Towards Amrit Harit Maha Abhiyan Targets, Plans New Initiatives for 2026**

*Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh)* – Madhya Pradesh has achieved approximately 60% of its target under the Amrit Harit Maha Abhiyan, a campaign aiming to plant over one crore saplings by the end of 2025. The Urban Administration Department (UAD) is already looking ahead, preparing proposals for 2026 with a focus on securing land and introducing innovative plantation concepts across the state.

### Transforming Bhopal’s Seven Hills into Seasonal Floral Landscapes

One of the highlight projects for 2026 is the beautification of Bhopal’s seven hills — Arera Hills, Shyamala Hills, Idgah Hills, Katara Hills, Danish Hills, Neori Hills, and Kaliyasot Hills. The UAD plans to transform these hills with seasonal flower beds, planting between 25,000 to 30,000 flowering plants to ensure year-round bloom cycles.

Six varieties of seasonal plants will be used to keep the hills vibrant throughout the year, aiming to turn Bhopal into a natural floral destination. A senior UAD official stated, “The goal is to make the hills come alive with blossoms season after season, creating a unique natural floral attraction in Bhopal.”

### Addressing Land Challenges for 2026 Plantation Drive

Securing land within municipal limits continues to be a major challenge for expanding plantation activities. While smaller Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) have exceeded their targets — such as Chand in Chhindwara at 227%, Dhanpuri in Shahdol at 160%, and Bhedaghat in Jabalpur at 142% — larger cities are lagging behind.

Bhopal, notably, has achieved just 17% of its plantation target, with issues including encroachments in several patches. Of five key plantation patches in Bhopal, three face encroachments: a 19-acre area in Damkheda and two 13-acre patches. However, patches in Jahgariya Kurd measuring 15 and 23 acres remain encroachment-free.

Following directives from the UAD on September 2, ten municipal corporations have collectively marked nearly 500 acres for the 2026 plantation drive. This figure is expected to rise to 700–800 acres by the end of the year.

### Land Identified So Far for 2026 Plantation Drive

– Satna: 100 acres (11 patches)
– Gwalior: 84.79 acres (4 patches)
– Bhopal: 84 acres (5 patches)
– Rewa: 64 acres
– Chhindwara: 61 acres
– Jabalpur: 55 acres
– Ratlam: 25.50 acres
– Burhanpur: 11 acres
– Dewas: 3 acres
– Khandwa: 2.99 acres

Satna currently leads in total land identified for plantation activities.

### Innovative Concept Plantation Drives Across Madhya Pradesh

For 2026, the UAD plans to roll out innovative concept plantations across 416 ULBs. These will include unique models such as Nagar Vans (urban forests), Herbal Forests, Oxygen Parks, and Botanical Gardens. The final designs and plantation types will depend on local conditions and available land resources.

These concept plantations aim not only to increase green cover but also to enhance biodiversity, improve air quality, and offer recreational and educational spaces for citizens.

Philippines set to benefit as IFC invests $25M in infra fund

MANILA, Philippines — The Philippines is set to benefit from a $25-million investment from the International Finance Corp. (IFC).

This investment is earmarked for an infrastructure fund launched by Singapore-based Seraya, focusing on projects related to digital networks and renewable energy.

The private-sector focused unit of the World Bank Group disclosed this development on October 2.

Overtourism: Arashiyama Launches Night Event To Ease Daytime Crowds

Organized jointly by local shopping street associations, transport operators, and residents, the project is designed not simply to attract more people but to disperse daytime congestion by creating a photogenic experience at night when visitor numbers are typically low.

The paid area is intended to generate steady revenue that can be reinvested locally. Proceeds will prioritize practical measures such as adding trash bins and toilets, preserving the bamboo forest, repairing damaged stalks, and purchasing a community bus reserved for residents. The bus would improve mobility during peak tourist seasons when traffic restrictions are imposed and some neighborhoods face fewer regular bus services than before.

Residents have long participated in discussions with merchants to address overtourism. During last year’s autumn foliage season, Arashiyama operated a trial ride-share taxi for residents affected by traffic controls to secure daily transportation.

Crowding and etiquette remain pressing issues beyond central Kyoto. In Ine, the picturesque waterfront lined with boathouses, an hourly 60-seat route bus has struggled when visitors fill seats, leaving local riders behind. Meanwhile, narrow roads have suffered frequent congestion as more travelers arrive by car.

Authorities and local groups are promoting park-and-bus-ride and park-and-cruise schemes that shift cars to free parking areas and move visitors by shuttle bus or boat. Alongside this, a sightseeing express bus that stops only at major attractions aims to reduce pressure on regular routes.

Manners problems such as trespassing into boathouses and littering have become more visible since last year, which local observers partly attribute to the rise of group tours by overseas visitors. Countermeasures include distributing multilingual leaflets on buses to explain rules and cultural norms.

The Moonlit Path organizers stress that dispersing crowds and encouraging better behavior must be paired with a tangible give-back to those who live with tourism year-round. By visibly reinvesting admission income in services residents can feel—cleaner streets, maintained scenery, and dedicated transport—the initiative aims to build a model that other destinations can adopt if it proves effective this month.

Kelowna business pleads for action on social issues after being forced to temporarily shut down

Restoration crews have begun a major cleanup effort at Flashpoint Tattoo Company, located in the Rutland shopping plaza in Kelowna, B.C. The tattoo shop sustained significant smoke and water damage following a fire on Tuesday, causing a major disruption to business.

“It’s a major disruption to business,” said Mark Beaulieu, the shop’s owner. The fire started outside the shop and is believed to have been caused by people experiencing homelessness. “From what I hear, it was to warm some spaghetti,” Beaulieu explained.

Beaulieu, who has owned and operated the tattoo shop for 10 years, noted that problems such as fires and crime have become far more common in recent years as the unhoused population grows, along with the associated social issues. “We have had multiple fires here, just people keeping warm,” he said. “Things have gotten really extreme around here. As a matter of fact, my door has a lockout on it now. Some of my staff, they don’t feel safe.”

The Kelowna Fire Department told Global News it is aware of reports that a group of people experiencing homelessness may have been cooking food prior to the flames erupting. However, they added that at this point, the exact cause of the fire remains undetermined.

With the weather quickly turning colder, there are fears that fires started to keep warm will increase. Beaulieu is pleading for more to be done to help those on the streets and, in turn, the many businesses negatively affected by these incidents.

“I would like to see multiple levels of government, you know, address these issues,” Beaulieu said. “Make it a priority. How is this continuing to go on at this level?”

Last week, the city of Kelowna sent a 14-page letter to both the provincial and federal governments urging for action. The letter calls on the federal government to reform the bail system and for the province to hire more Crown prosecutors and implement mandatory compassionate care.

“There’s a group of individuals who need more care, and it is not compassionate to leave them on our streets,” Kelowna Mayor Tom Dyas told Global News on Wednesday.

Beaulieu hopes to see changes implemented soon. “It’s frustrating that I feel like going to Ottawa myself and saying my piece,” he said. “I just feel like we are not being heard.”

For now, Beaulieu is focusing on the insurance and cleanup process to get his business back up and running as soon as possible.

Prince William pays tribute to Dame Jane Goodall

Prince William has paid tribute to Dame Jane Goodall and her “pioneering spirit.”

The Prince of Wales shared a personal message on his and wife Catherine, Princess of Wales’ Instagram account to honour the world-renowned primatologist after she died at the age of 91 on Wednesday (01.10.25) during a speaking tour in California.

William wrote:
“The world has lost an extraordinary voice with the passing of Dame Jane Goodall. Her boundless curiosity, compassion, and pioneering spirit transformed our understanding of the natural world. She challenged us all to make a difference and inspired me and countless others to work to protect our planet. Jane Goodall made a difference.”

The message was signed off with the letter “W,” indicating a personal message from the prince.

William’s tribute came shortly after his estranged brother, Prince Harry, and his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, paid tribute to their “friend.”

A statement from Harry and Meghan, who have Prince Archie, six, and four-year-old Princess Lilibet together, shared with People magazine read:
“Dr. Jane Goodall DBE was a visionary humanitarian, scientist, friend to the planet, and friend to us. Her commitment to changing lives extends beyond what the world saw, and also to what we personally felt. She held our son, Archie, when he was first born, and showered love and care to those who were privileged to know her. She will be deeply missed.”

Many stars have also paid tribute to the animal welfare advocate, including Leonardo DiCaprio. The “One Battle After Another” actor urged people to donate to conservation charities in honour of the zoologist.

He wrote on Instagram:
“Today we have lost a true hero for the planet, an inspiration to millions, and a dear friend. For decades, Jane traveled the world with tireless energy, awakening generations to the wonder of the natural world. She spoke directly to the next generation, instilling hope, responsibility, and the belief that every individual can make a difference. She inspired millions to care, to act, and to hope. She never stopped.

My deepest condolences to her family. Please join me in honoring her legacy by supporting @janegoodallinst and other conservation groups which she cared about.

My last message to Jane was simple: ‘You are my hero.’ Now, we all must carry the torch for her in protecting our one shared home.”

Actress Jane Fonda also expressed her sorrow, declaring her “heart breaks at the news” while celebrating the work of the activist. Jane Goodall was widely regarded as the world’s leading expert on chimpanzees, known for her 65-year study of the creatures in Tanzania.

She wrote on her Instagram account:
“My heart breaks at the news that the brave, heartful, history-making Jane Goodall has passed. Through her work with chimps, she did more than any human being has, to let us understand the richness of animal lives: their intelligence, skills, unique personalities, use of tools, empathy, suffering when one of theirs was killed.

I loved her very much. I think the best way we can honor her life is to treat the earth and all its beings like our family, with love and respect. ❤️”

Georgia’s highest court sides with slave descendants fighting to protect threatened island community

**ATLANTA —** Georgia’s highest court on Tuesday sided with Black landowners in a fight over zoning changes that weakened long-standing protections for one of the South’s last Gullah-Geechee communities founded by freed slaves.

The state Supreme Court unanimously reversed a lower court ruling that had stopped a referendum to consider repealing a revised zoning ordinance passed by McIntosh County officials two years ago.

Residents of Sapelo Island opposed the zoning amendments that doubled the size of homes allowed in a tiny enclave called Hog Hammock. Homeowners feared the change would result in one of the nation’s most historically and culturally unique Black communities facing unaffordable tax increases.

Last year, residents and their supporters submitted a petition with more than 2,300 signatures from registered voters seeking a referendum in the coastal county, which lies 60 miles (96 kilometers) south of Savannah.

However, McIntosh County commissioners sued to stop the referendum, and a lower court ruled that it would be illegal, halting the vote with less than a week to go before Election Day. Hundreds of people had already cast early ballots in the referendum.

On Tuesday, the high court found that the lower court was wrong to conclude that the zoning ordinance was not subject to referendum procedures provided for in the Georgia Constitution’s Home Rule Provision.

“Nothing in the text of the Zoning Provision in any way restricts a county electorate’s authority to seek repeal of a zoning ordinance,” Supreme Court Justice John Ellington wrote in the opinion.

“We feel vindicated,” said Jazz Watts, a Hog Hammock homeowner who helped organize the referendum effort. “The election should not have been stopped. It was stopping the voice of the people.”

It is not immediately clear when the referendum might be rescheduled. But attorney Dana Braun, who represents the Hog Hammock residents, said the ruling will give county residents “some real say” in whether they support the zoning change.

McIntosh County attorney Ken Jarrard expressed that the county commissioners are “obviously disappointed” by the order but respect the high court’s ruling. Jarrard had asserted during oral arguments at the Supreme Court in April that zoning powers are different from others entrusted to county governments by the state Constitution and, therefore, cannot be challenged by referendum.

Philip Thompson, an attorney representing the Hog Hammock residents, argued that they have a constitutional right to a referendum on the zoning changes so that they can defend a place that’s “a cultural and historical treasure.”

Approximately 30 to 50 Black residents live in Hog Hammock, a community of dirt roads and modest homes founded by their enslaved ancestors who worked the cotton plantation of Thomas Spalding. The community is among a dwindling number of small settlements started by emancipated island slaves—known collectively as Gullah, or Geechee, in Georgia—scattered along the coast from North Carolina to Florida.

Scholars say the island’s separation from the mainland allowed the communities to retain much of their African heritage, from their unique dialect to skills and crafts such as cast-net fishing and weaving baskets.

In 1996, Hog Hammock earned a place on the National Register of Historic Places, the official list of treasured U.S. historic sites.

Residents depend on the local government in McIntosh County, where 65% of the 11,100 residents are white, to maintain protections that preserve the community.

The state Supreme Court was not weighing whether Hog Hammock deserves special protections. Instead, the justices considered technical questions about whether local zoning laws can be challenged by referendum and whether McIntosh County commissioners had a right to sue to stop the vote last October.

Famous Primatologist Jane Goodall Dead at 91 — The ‘Voice for Animals’ Is Remembered for ‘Protecting the Natural World’

**Jane Goodall, Renowned Primatologist and Conservationist, Dies at 91**

*October 1, 2025, 2:26 p.m. ET* — Jane Goodall, best known for her groundbreaking research and tireless work to protect chimpanzees, has passed away at the age of 91, RadarOnline.com can reveal. The celebrated animal welfare activist remained active well into her 90s and was recently in California as part of her ongoing speaking tour.

**Institute Confirms Passing**

The Jane Goodall Institute issued a statement confirming the news: “The Jane Goodall Institute has learned this morning, Wednesday, October 1, 2025, that Dr. Jane Goodall DBE, UN Messenger of Peace and Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute, has passed away due to natural causes. She was in California as part of her speaking tour in the United States.”

The statement continued, “Dr. Goodall’s discoveries as an ethologist revolutionized science, and she was a tireless advocate for the protection and restoration of our natural world.”

**Public Remembrances and Tributes**

Social media quickly filled with tributes and messages mourning Goodall’s passing. One user expressed, “Rest in peace, Jane Goodall. You taught us that kindness is a form of strength and that respect for life in all its forms is the truest measure of humanity. You will be dearly missed.”

Another wrote, “It is impossible to sum up the impact she has had on our world and on science in a social media post. She lived a long and incredible life, but I am devastated.”

“A pioneer, a dreamer, a voice for animals and the planet,” praised another admirer. “She taught us to see ourselves in chimpanzees and hope in nature, and the world feels less friendly without her.”

**A Life Dedicated to Chimpanzees and Conservation**

Goodall founded the Jane Goodall Institute in 1977 to support ongoing research on great apes. She also established Roots & Shoots, a global youth program aimed at environmental and humanitarian efforts, along with TACARE, which focuses on sustainable development in African villages.

She began her research at just 26 years old, studying chimpanzees in the wild in Tanzania. Through her pioneering work, she revealed that primates exhibit a wide range of behaviors similar to humans, such as communication, use of tools, and complex social interactions.

During a 2020 interview with ABC News, Goodall reflected on primate behavior: “Their behavior, with their gestures, kissing, embracing, holding hands, and patting on the back… The fact that they can actually be violent and brutal and have a kind of war, but also loving and altruistic.”

**Inspiration for Women in STEM**

Goodall’s dedication also inspired countless women to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). According to The Jane Goodall Institute, the proportion of women in STEM fields has risen from 7% to 26% in the past 60 years, a testament to her influence and outreach.

**Advocate for Environmental Action**

Beyond her work with animals, Goodall was a passionate advocate for addressing the climate crisis. She often emphasized humanity’s urgent need to act. “We are definitely at a point where we need to make something happen. We are imperiled. We have a window of time. I’m fairly sure we do. But, we’ve got to take action,” she stated.

**Guided by Her Mother’s Wisdom**

Throughout her life, Goodall credited her mother’s encouragement as a driving force behind her success. In an interview on the *Call Her Daddy* podcast with host Alex Cooper, she shared, “She said, if you really want to do something like this, you’re going to have to work really hard. Take advantage of every opportunity. And if you don’t give up, hopefully you find a way.”

Reflecting on the love and support she received, Goodall added, “I wish mom was alive, and maybe she’s listening. The number of people who said, ‘Jane, I want to thank you. You’ve taught me because you did it. I can do it too.’”

Jane Goodall’s legacy will continue to inspire conservation efforts and the pursuit of knowledge for generations to come.

Global population to peak at 10.8bn before decline: UN report

**Global Population to Peak at 10.8 Billion Before Decline: UN Report**

*By Snehil Singh | Sep 30, 2025*

The global population is projected to continue increasing until around the year 2080, reaching a peak of approximately 10.8 billion people, according to a recent United Nations report. Following this peak, the population is expected to decline, with a reduction of nearly 100 million people by 2100 compared to the peak figure.

### Declining Birth Rates Drive Population Changes

This population decline is predicted to be most significant in wealthy, developed nations. Factors such as increased education and rights for women are influencing family planning decisions, contributing to falling birth rates. Sociologist Stuart Gietel-Basten from Hong Kong University told *Nature* that low fertility rates reflect “broken systems and broken institutions” that prevent people from having the families they desire. He described this situation as a “real crisis.” Economic pressures, including rising living costs, also discourage many from parenthood.

### Social Implications and Challenges

The potential decline in population raises pressing concerns about the sustainability of social support programs, especially those aimed at assisting the elderly. Some have controversially suggested imposing taxes on individuals who choose not to have children as a way to mitigate these challenges. However, experts caution against punitive approaches, emphasizing the need for systemic changes that support family planning choices and help maintain a balanced global population.

### Toward Progressive Solutions

Experts speaking with *Nature* recommend implementing progressive social policies to address the shifting demographic landscape. Suggestions include offering paid parental leave, reducing child care costs, and eliminating child poverty. Rebecca Zerzan, senior editor of the UN Population Fund’s *State of World Population* report, stated that adopting such policies would foster a society where “people are happier, healthier, and able to pursue education alongside work.”

Addressing the demographic challenges ahead requires thoughtful policy reforms that empower individuals and strengthen social systems rather than resorting to punitive measures.

Indoor gardening: 5 eco-friendly pot ideas

By Simran Jeet | Sep 30, 2025 | 10:44 am

**Indoor Gardening with Eco-Friendly Pots: Sustainable Ideas for Your Green Space**

Indoor gardening is a wonderful way to bring a touch of nature inside your home. When paired with eco-friendly pots, it becomes an even more rewarding and sustainable hobby. Using pots made from sustainable materials not only adds aesthetic value but also helps protect our environment.

Growing plants in eco-friendly pots allows you to minimize waste and reduce pollution while creating your indoor green sanctuary. Here are some innovative ideas to help you make your indoor garden more sustainable.

### Tip 1: Recycled Plastic Bottle Planters

Recycling plastic bottles into planters is an easy and cost-effective way to reduce waste. Simply cut a plastic bottle in half, use the bottom portion as a planter, and hang it on walls or place it on shelves.

This method keeps plastic out of landfills and provides a handy container for small plants or herbs. Plus, it’s a fun DIY project that lets you add a personal touch to your indoor garden.

### Tip 2: Bamboo Fiber Pots

Bamboo fiber pots are crafted from natural bamboo pulp, making them biodegradable and sustainable. These pots are both sturdy and lightweight, perfect for indoor use.

Additionally, bamboo fiber pots offer excellent drainage, preventing overwatering and supporting healthy plant growth. By choosing bamboo pots, gardeners embrace renewable resources and contribute to environmental conservation.

### Tip 3: Coconut Coir Hanging Baskets

Made from the fibrous husks of coconuts—usually discarded as waste—coconut coir hanging baskets are an eco-friendly option for indoor gardening.

Ideal for hanging plants like ferns or ivy, these baskets are naturally breathable, which promotes healthy root growth. Being biodegradable, coconut coir baskets break down over time without causing environmental harm.

### Tip 4: Terracotta Clay Pots with Saucers

Terracotta clay pots are a classic, eco-friendly choice for indoor gardening thanks to their natural, porous material. Their porous nature allows air and moisture to circulate through the soil, encouraging robust plant health.

When paired with saucers made from recycled materials, these pots also help catch excess water, keeping your surfaces clean and tidy.

### Tip 5: Upcycled Tin Can Planters

Upcycling tin cans into planters is a clever and economical way to repurpose materials that might otherwise be thrown away.

To create your own, clean out a tin can, punch drainage holes in the bottom, then paint or decorate it as you like before planting your favorite flowers or herbs. This creative approach cuts down on waste and brings unique character to your indoor garden.
