On World's Environment Day, let's take a look at how the pandemic and restricted human movements played in favour of the flora and fauna and helped us breathe clean air.
Four months into the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pandemic in India, mother Earth has surprised us in multiple ways.
Since the imposition of a total lockdown on March 22, humans have been compelled to stay inside their houses. This has meant a small window for the environment to breathe. It involves the unexpected plummeting of air pollution or people being the Himalayas being visible after decades.
Scientists, in fact, are suggesting that such interventions may be used as a possible emergency measure to combat severe air pollution episodes like those witnessed in Delhi-NCR region during the winter months.
On World's Environment Day, let's take a look at how the pandemic and restricted human movements played in favour of the flora and fauna to breathe some clean air.
With humans confined to the houses, animals seem to be getting their much-needed space. While a Nilgai was spotted roaming free on the streets of Noida in March, a group of monkeys were filmed having a pool party in a posh society in Mumbai.
In another incident, visuals of a huge flock of flamingos migrating to Mumbai flooded social media. Forest officials attributed the event to 'less polluted water, air' and also the 'improvement in the quality of the algae', which is the primary food for the flamingos.
