The first of the ⚡️talks is almost complete. Young researchers from @TezpurUniv @JorhatRfri @UnivofDelhi speak about the impact of IAS on soil, impact of canopy density on IAS spread, and influence of elevation gradients. @Khuroo_Kashmir and other experts offer then feedback.

How were grasslands successfully restored in Manas Wildlife Sanctuary? @LahkarBibhuti traces the journey of @aaranyak in controlling the invasion of plants. Manual uprooting of Chromolaena, girdling of Bombax ceiba, working with local villagers & building partnerships. #ifib2025

P. juliflora was intro’d to Banni, Kutch, in 1961 to check soil salinity but it rapidly took over 50% of the grasslands. Today it has a complicated r’ship with local communities. @sahanaghosh8 wrote for @MongabayIndia about Ankila Hiremath’s work here: india.mongabay.com/2021/08/l…

🐗"Lantana takeover has made the forest a more dangerous space for dependent communities - there is a higher chance encounters of wildlife now, so ppl cannot access to sacred groves, younger generations dont venture as much, traditional knowledge being lost..."

Ankila Hiremath has been visiting BR Hills, Karnataka, since the 1990s and she has seen the change firsthand. This data depicting the spread of lantana in BR Hills, Karnataka, really brings home the scale of the problem #IFIB2025

👥Lively & incisive audience debates on the need for making data open access (esp for scientists), categorising a species as 'alien', getting permissions from officials to study controlled fires, etc.

🪵So what do we do with all the eradicated lantana, prosopis biomass?
Aseem Shrivastava mentions how @IWSTBangalore has been using these to develop products such as particle boards, acoustic panels, wood polymer composites, reconstituted wood, etc.

🦋Shocking visuals of the spread of the top 3 invasive plants in Madhya Pradesh. Aseem Shrivastava also opens up about having to confront the fact that these species are devastating for the ecology, despite being attractive to his fave insect group - butterflies. #IFIB2025
