Two days after Nepal released its last captive vultures, I was in Dubai airport when I received a WhatsApp message from the conservationists. At least ten vultures had been found dead not far from the release site, and others were sick. None of the recent releases were among the dead, but one was a captive that had been tagged and released in 2019. Another tagged bird, which was wild, was found dead in the area a few days later.

Todas las mañanas, en el distrito de Tumakuru, en Karnataka, un estado del sur de la India, el sol se asoma por el horizonte e ilumina las colinas verdes y marrones de los Ghats orientales. Sus rayos caen sobre las praderas que las rodean y alguna que otra aldea adormecida; el cielo cambia de color, del naranja sorbete al azul empolvado. Finalmente, la luz solar llega a un mar de cristal y silicio conocido como Pavagada Ultra Mega Solar Park.

As the planet turns and the sun climbs, electricity streams from the panels to eight nearby substations, and, in one of them, a computer monitor decorated with a red hibiscus flower registers their collective power in megawatts. In the predawn hours, the solar park consumes a small amount of electricity for lights and computers, so the monitor may show a negative number.
