Why OneHealth approaches are important

With laws broken, discarded, Western Ghats denuded for plantations & highways, a virus once limited to monkeys in these old-growth forests has jumped to humans via ticks on livestock & rodents. From 5 districts, cases now in 5 states, reports @deepa_padma article-14.com/post/kyasanur-…



Kyasanur Forest Disease also known as Monkey Fever, once endemic to 5 districts of Karnataka, is now spreading through the Western Ghats. My report:

Against a backdrop of deforestation/land use change, KFD or "money fever" is spreading through the Western Ghats, debilitating marginalised communities bereft of a vaccine, disease surveillance & healthcare, pushing them into poverty. @deepa_padma reports article-14.com/post/kyasanur-…

I’ve always wanted to do more sensor journalism, and have used air pollution monitors before, but this @restofworld report on gig workers in Lahore, New Delhi, and Dhaka really delivers, so to speak. We all know it’s deadly; but the data can’t be denied. restofworld.org/2024/riders-in…

Looking back at how Rukhmabai Initiatives started small but grew big in showing Indian women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). If you relate to the cause, apply for the 2024 Rukhmabai Grants and be part of what we're doing. Link in Bio. #RukhmabaiInitiatives
