 Experts
say that we will soon run out of coal, diesel, petrol,
and natural gas reserves will get exhausted. How will
we run our machines then? Do not worry. Scientists are

| Preservation
of freshwater ecosystems in Navi Mumbai for sustainable
resource utilization |
 |
Navi
Mumbai, the satellite township of Mumbai, is bestowed
with numerous freshwater bodies. However, there is a
general lack of awareness about the significance and
resource potential of these ecosystems. Realizing the
vulnerability of these wetlands and their resource potential,
TERI plans to develop a framework for sustainable use
of these resources with the active support and funding
of CIDCO (City and Industrial Development Corporation).
As a first step, a 200 year old Khandeshwar Lake complex
at Panvel is being developed as a comprehensive model
to demonstrate feasibility of a 'sustainable wetland',
which would be replicated elsewhere with appropriate
modifications. |

| Lighting
a billion lives |
 |
A total of 1.6 billion people in the world lack access
to electricity, and 25% of them live in India. TERI
commits to brightening the lives of one billion people
by replacing kerosene and paraffin lanterns with solar
lighting devices, providing better illumination and
a smoke-free indoor environment, and by providing livelihood
opportunities both at the individual and village levels. |
