Ten years ago, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed this holiday to honor and raise awareness of the importance of all types of forests. You can celebrate by taking a walk in your favorite forest or taking action to protect the forests you love.
This United Nations holiday is used to advocate for the sustainable management of freshwater resources, as well as raise awareness for the two billion people living without access to clean drinking water.
World Aquatic Animal Day raises global awareness of the importance of aquatic animals such as mollusks, aquatic mammals, amphibians, birds, and insects. The creators at Lewis & Clark Law School hope it inspires people from all over the world to create policies, laws, education, and collaborations that will help to protect these valuable creatures.

Characteristics
Paperwhites, a type of Narcissus, bring a delightful fragrance to the Winter season.
These dainty, white flowers with golden-yellow centers emerge in clusters atop slender green stems.
Paperwhites are cherished for their sweet and intoxicating scent, making them a favourite for indoor forcing during the Winter.
Care Tips
Planting: Plant bulbs in well-draining soil, leaving the tips exposed.
Sunlight: Provide ample sunlight for robust growth, placing them near a sunny window.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogged conditions to prevent bulb rot.

You'll love the early burst of color from winter jasmine (Jasminum nudiflorum), a fast-growing evergreen shrubby plant that's native to Tibet and China. This cold-weather perennial offers an abundance of creamy-yellow flowers that bloom on bare stems in January or February. While it is the hardiest member of the jasmine family, it is not fragrant.
জরায়ু (Uterus):
এটি একটি মাংসল অঙ্গ। পেটের হাইপোকন্ডিয়াক অঞ্চলে, মূত্রাশয়ের পিছে ও রেক্টামের সম্মুখে অবস্থিত। গর্ভধারণের পর জরায়ু বিশাল আকার ধারণ করে ও পাতলা হয়। স্বাভাবিক অবস্থায় এর আয়তন ৩ * ২ * ১ ইঞ্চি।
এর তিনটি অংশ:
১) ফান্ডাস (Fundus),
২) বডি (Body),
৩) সার্ভিক্স (Cervix )
জরায়ুর ভিতরের আবরণী কলাকে এন্ডোমেট্রিয়াম (Endometrium) বলে, যা মাসিকের সময় ধ্বংস হয় ও পরে পুনরুজ্জীবিত হয়।
কাজ:
১) বাচ্চা ধারণ করে,
২) মাসিকের সময় এন্ডোমেট্রিয়াম ধ্বংস করে রক্তের সাথে বের করে দেয়।
যোনী (Vegina):
এটি একটি মাংসল অঙ্গ যা প্রসারিত হতে পারে। এর গায়ে অনেক গ্রন্থি আছে যা থেকে রস নিঃসরণ হয়। সঙ্গমের সময় এতে পুরুষাঙ্গ প্রবিষ্ট হয়। এটি যোনিমুখ থেকে সার্ভিক্রা পর্যন্ত বিস্তৃত। এর পিছনে পায়ুপথ ও মলাশয় থাকে।

The South American Orinoco crocodile, a notable inhabitant of Venezuela's and Colombia's river basins, is a titan among reptiles. Male counterparts stretch up to 14 feet long, ranking them among the earth's biggest crocodile species.
Their sandy hues, aptly designed for the riverine backdrop, assist in maintaining an element of surprise when hunting prey. Their physical attribute of a long, slender snout is crafted for capturing fish. However, as opportunistic feeders, they can also occasionally consume small mammals, reptiles, and even caimans.
Over-hunting in the early to mid-1900s led to an alarming reduction of over 80% in the Orinoco Crocodile population. Today, trade is blocked, and over-exploitation isn't a significant threat. However, illegal harvest, habitat fragmentation, pollution, and riverside development still pose considerable threats.
Sadly, with approximately 250 mature individuals remaining, Orinoco Crocodiles are endangered.
International Orangutan Day highlights the direct effects of our actions on the gentle giants of the treetops. Their actual populations have dwindled over the past 60 years, with over half being lost largely due to the encroachment of the palm oil industry in their native habitats like Borneo and Sumatra.
Worrying still, we have to consider that their numbers might be lower than what we know, with the rapid clearing of forests for palm oil plantations. This day serves as a call to action - to individuals, communities, and policymakers - to seriously address the dire situation these forest dwellers face in their homes.
By observing this day, we're reminded of the interplay of different life forms on our planet and why biodiversity matters for the health of our Earth.
Fun Facts about Orangutans
Orangutans are the world's largest arboreal mammals. They spend 90% of their time in trees, using their long arms to swing from branch to branch.
These red apes can use tools in the wild, such as sticks, to extract honey or insects from trees and learn sign language.
Female orangutans have the longest interbirth interval of any land mammal. Female orangutans give birth to one baby at a time and wait up to eight years between pregnancies.
Winter season is when most root vegetables and oranges are in season. Some other fruits and veggies, like onions, parsnips, cabbage, carrots, and Florida-grown tomatoes, can survive the winter season.
Despite existing protective laws, hunters often target zebras for their skins and meat. Climate change further exacerbates the challenges for zebras, who struggle with drought and extreme heat waves, jeopardizing their food and water sources.
Moreover, urbanization, agriculture, and deforestation affect zebra habitats, increasing conflicts between humans and zebras.
International Zebra Day aims to raise awareness about what these creatures face, and by doing so, it calls everyone to action. Learn more about facts, the latest data, and global initiatives that can help you with the cause below.
