Dr. Navtej Kohli Blog

Navtej Kohli personal blog shows concern about some bird species standing on the verge of extinction. Adobe of some of the most endangered species of birds, Indian subcontinent has observed a massive influx of migratory birds. In fact, over the last one year some of these birds are living on the verge of extinction. Citing some apparent reasons for this alarming fall in the number of these already rare species are deforestation, global warming, poaching and other human interferences in the nature’s normal course.

Facts state that from a whole of 1, 228 species found in India, almost 82 species have been tagged endangered in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Animals. Mentioned below are some the bird’s species that possess maximum threat of extinction:
• Pink-headed Duck (Rhodonessa caryophyllacea)
• Himalayan Quail (Ophrysia superciliosa)
• Siberian Crane (Grus leucogeranus)
• Sarus Crane (Grus antigone)
• Jerdon’s Courser (Rhinoptilus bitorquatus)
• Forest Owlet (Athene blewitti)
• White-bellied Heron (Ardea insignis)
• Oriental Stork (Ciconia boyciana)
• Greater Adjutant (Leptoptilos dubius)
• White-headed Duck (Oxyura leucocephala)
• White-winged Duck (Cairina scutulata)
• Great Indian Bustard (Ardeotis nigriceps)
• Bengal Florican (Houbaropsis bengalensis)
• Lesser Florican (Sypheotides indica)
• Nordmann’s Greenshank (Tringa guttifer)
• Rufous-breasted Laughingthr (Garrulax cachinnans)
• Cinereous Vulture (Aegypius monachus)
• White-rumped Vulture (Gyps bengalensis)
• Long-billed Vulture (Gyps indicus)

There is an immediate need of spreading mass-awareness for encouraging people to come forward and take part in this cause. Also, stringent rules shall be enforced to put a check on all the activities posing threat on the existence of these already dying out species.

Once gain on Navtej Kohli Personal Blog, I bring a very interesting piece of humor.  

While browsing the Internet I came across a very Interesting joke. While reading it you might think that what’s in this joke. The fact is that in 2002 this joke was awarded as world’s funniest joke.

Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn’t seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy takes out his phone and calls the emergency services.

He gasps: “My friend is dead! What can I do?” The operator says: “Calm down, I can help. First, let’s make sure he’s dead.” There is a silence, then a gunshot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says: “OK, now what?”

It was later on researched that this joke while looks good to read but is not that effective when told. Let me know how you feel about this!
