Do you know where your food comes from? Do you relish those meaty meals every day? Do you know how it affects our environment? Try and take a closer look at what you’re eating and the impact of your food on climate change.
Modern consumption patterns are resulting in wastage of natural resources across theworld. Deforestation has risen to extreme levels to support our diets and this is now beginning to alter our climate and exacerbate global warming. It has been scientifically proven by the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization that our global livestock is responsible for 18 percent of green house gas emissions.
We need to take action on climate change, now! Make some noise. Brush up those creative skills. Be a part of this National Video Competition conducted by Indian Youth Climate Network (IYCN) with the support of Humane Society International (HSI) .Don’t bother about those high definition cameras. It’s not about the technique and craft of the film making, but THE CONTENT. A simple camera phone would do too, to make an amazing video. Grab this opportunity, focus on your food.
The Indian Youth Climate Network (IYCN) is a network of young people in 18 states uniting Indian youth and youth oriented organizations who are concerned about climate change and environment issues. IYCN members work to generate awareness about and establish consensus on what role India should play in the global debate of climate change, and how it should address its domestic issues.
Started in 2008, IYCN was registered as an NGO in 2009 and today IYCN has offices in 6 locations with chapters in different states having outreach to thousands of youth in colleges, schools, corporations and institutions in India.
IYCN works at three levels:
As a network of individuals enabling people to come together and work at a grassroots level, to form friendships and support each other.
As a network of partner and supporter groups who bring together their strengths and passion for environment and sustainable development.
As an organization that runs its own programs/ projects as well as participates in & supports programs/ campaigns of other organizations.
Using the 3 platforms of awareness campaigns, policy advocacy and result-oriented projects, IYCN organizes following activities:
1. Youth summits on environment issues & climate change and Environmental Audit for corporations
2. Campaigns for clean energy and water as well as waste management & awareness projects
3. Knowledge partner for projects/ campaigns/ events of schools, colleges and institutions
4. Solutions fairs for environment issues & climate change
5. Policy tracking and youth delegation to UNFCCC COPs
The Indian Youth Climate Network is a registered society under Section XI of the Societies Registration Act of 1860.

The fieldwork provides occupational therapy to the fieldworkers, amateurs, professionals and nature lovers, which impart the opportunity to integrate academic knowledge with application skills at progressively higher levels of performance and responsibility. The unique contributions of fieldwork include the opportunity to test firsthand theories and facts learned in academic study and to refine skills through interaction under the supervision of qualified personnel. Fieldwork also provides the naturalist with situations in which to practice interpersonal skills to develop characteristics essential to productive working relationships. Keeping in mind such facts, the present book on ‘Biodiversity and Birds: A Field Records’ is written in articulate manner citing innovative and inventive sightings of some unique species in the forested pockets of Gujarat, India. The book encompasses archetypal records of plants, animals, and birds along with their distinctive occurrence, feeding patterns, conservation, and management of threatened biodiversity, and many more. It also describes some remarkable, noteworthy, and astonishing sightings of species inhabiting in potential niches, habitats, and ecosystems of Western India. Here, the author has shared his incidental as well as subsisting experiences in amazing habitats amidst the nature trails of forested patches and thickets. This book will undoubtedly enrich and enhance the knowledge and awareness of naturalists in the field.
