Pro-monarchists Continue To Hit The Streets Of Nepal
Gyan Bahadur Shahi (Bijay Shahi), a lawmaker from Nepal's right-wing Pro-monarchist Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) in the House of Representatives of Nepal, addresses a mass gathering in Kathmandu, Nepal, on April 8, 2025, demanding the reinstatement of the monarchy. Formed in the 1990s after the lift of the ban on the formation of political parties by the then-monarchical system, the Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) serves as a force always supporting kingship. It also takes part in periodic elections and presents its demands. In 2008, right after the overthrow of monarchical rule in Nepal, the Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) secures 8 seats in the then Constituent Assembly out of the 575-seat strong parliament. In the 2013 election, it secures 13 seats, while in 2017, it falls to 1 seat, and it bounces back in the election of 2022 with 14 seats. Since its inception, the party supports the Hindu State and kingship as interdependent in the tiny nation buffered between the giants India and China. The Himalayan nation of Nepal has a population of 30.55 million, with a Hindu population of 81.19% as per the census of 2022. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto) -

July 13, 2015 - Sterling, Virginia, United States: Cythina Hauser, an Endangered Species Biologist and Project Environmental Specialist with GAI Consultants, puts on her safety goggles, during a bat census to make sure the planned Silver Line train yard near Dulles Airport doesn't impact the bats living in the woods near the site. Fine 'mist nets' are hung from polls to capture bats and determine whether there is a threatened bat species in the area. The bats are then released.

Bats invade the Botanic Gardens, Sydney, Australia - 29 Feb 2008

It is census time in Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens.But it is not humans who are being counted. It is the furry winged invaders that occupied the green sanctuary during the drought and have turned it into their inner-city squat. A year ago, said Tim Entwisle, the executive director of the Botanic Gardens Trust, it was thought the gardens were home to about 11,000 grey-headed flying foxes. Now, he suspects, there could be twice that many. "They are slowly trashing the place," he said. Branches have been breaking under their weight and their urine and droppings have been poisoning plants. "They are destroying the palm grove," said Dr Entwisle. "They are killing the trees. We have had 12 trees die and 45 are on the critical list. A couple on the critical list were planted in the 1820s."Although the new count, being undertaken by volunteers, will not be completed for several weeks, Dr Entwisle expects it will confirm that previous estimates of the flying fox population have been wildly underestimated. Among trees under threat is a flowering ash that was almost killed by the drought.In the 1990s, flying fox numbers were dramatically reduced by staff bashing metal lids, frightening the animals away. Now the gardens trust is seeking government permission to resume the evictions, possibly using mobile loud speakers on buggies to disturb them. Dr Entwisle said the evictions, if approved, would probably not begin until autumn next year, after the next breeding season. "The welfare of the flying foxes is important to us."
