Ms. Shradda Reddy, a 10th-grade student, delivered a thought-provoking TEDx talk advocating for afforestation. She highlighted that environmental protection is an ancient concept, referencing the Bhagavad Gita's wisdom on man's relationship with nature and Wangari Maathai's Nobel-winning Green Belt movement.

Reddy issued a call to action to "regreen the earth," announcing her plan to form a team with schoolmates. They will appeal to Karimnagar District residents to plant at least five trees each. An inspiring orator and active student, Ms. Reddy studies at Paramita High School. Learn more about TEDx events here.

The U.S. House of Representatives has passed bipartisan legislation to ban the domestic shark fin trade. This action addresses shark finning, a cruel practice where fins are removed at sea and the shark's body is discarded. While finning is illegal in U.S. waters, fins are still traded, often imported from countries with inadequate protections.

The global shark fin trade is a primary driver of declining shark populations worldwide, impacting an estimated 73 million sharks annually. This unsustainable demand has led to over 90% declines in some populations, threatening one-third of species in major trade hubs with extinction. The U.S. ban aims to mitigate this devastating impact.
