While many arecaceae are notable for their impres­sive height, characterised by a solitary, unbranched stem surmounted by a crown of fronds, and often producing massive seeds – the coco de mer has seed pods weighing up to 30 kilograms – oth­er palms are neat and shrub-like, often denizens of the understory and able to survive with limited access to sunlight. In fact, their diversity is highest in tropical rainforests.

Just a few decades ago, plastic was touted as a miracle material. It’s strong, waterproof, lightweight and easy to mould. But exactly 150 years since its creation it has become a scourge on the planet and is responsible for the deaths of an estimated one million birds and 100,000 marine mammals annually.

A number of foliage plants are characterised by long, narrow, usually stiff leaves which are serrated and/or spiky.

In 2012, Saurabh Gupta was caught up in the corporate rat race of Mumbai, the beating heart of India’s finance and commerce sector. He was working hard, drinking harder and living for the weekend.

Saving the elephant
Saving the elephant
Sunday 11 August 2019, 10:00AM
When talking about wild animal welfare in Thailand, elephants are often the first animal that comes to mind. In Phuket, this year has seen officials investigate concerns about a number of baby elephants working across Phuket, one of which, three-year-old Jumbo, died despite an international campaign calling for him to be taken out of Phuket Zoo and into care for better protection. But is change in the air for these gentle giants? Here Dr Patrapol Maneeorn, wildlife veterinarian of the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP), talks about the Thai people’s centuries-old bond with animals and how he is always hopefully optimistic about the future conservation and welfare of animals, national parks and wildlife in Thailand.

Politics is cyclic. History advises us that a stretch of stable, middle-ground government gives way to an era of discontent and unrest. From a status quo of sociopolitical com­promise and less dominant leadership comes the emergence of more extreme factions and outsiders from both the far left and right, creating a wider and more divided political landscape. It all makes for a bumpy ride.
