The over exploitation and unsustainable harvesting have posed an alarming threat to the existence of this important species, and its population has declined drastically.

The taxonomic importance of the specimens preserved in any museum has been established. The genetic study of the genes preserved in the muscles and tissues of the taxidermy skin of the museum specimens has led to the hypothesis of evolutionary theories in the field of biology. In the museum collection some of the species have been preserved for long and have a scope of reidentification, because such species have been wrongly identified. The Natural History section of the State Museum, Lucknow has a rich collection of avian diversity.

Terminalia arjuna, commonly known as arjuna, belongs to the family of Combretaceae.

Peanut, a crucial legume crop in tropical and semiarid regions, serves as a significant source of edible oil and vegetable protein. This study, conducted at the Savannah Agricultural Research Institute (SARI) during the 2021 cropping season, aimed to assess the impact of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium on groundnut yield and its components. Employing a 3 x 3 x 2 factorial experiment design, the trial was arranged in a randomized complete block with three replications.

Humans have always transformed the genomes of both plants and animals, which is basic knowledge. Originally, this intrusive processwhich has persisted for millions of years despite numerous errors and setbacks, was accomplished by crossing species that possessed advantageous traits. The purpose of this endeavor was to generate and nurture novel plants that would give advantages to humankind, such as improved food quality, increased productivity, immunity to diseases, and so on. However, the process of developing genetically modified organisms is achallenging task.

Due to long-term sun exposure, concerns about skin tanning have resulted in the development of various tan removal solutions. In recent years, there has been a lot of interest in herbal tan removal products due to their alleged benefits. This review will focus on the ingredients, mechanisms, and potential adverse effects of these new-age herbal tan removal products. Our goal is to provide an in-depth look at the market for herbal tan removal products by looking at recent research findings.

The study delves into the identification and analysis of constraints faced by workers across diverse enterprises and farmers engaged in agricultural cultivation. Through extensive discussions, a plethora of constraints were discerned, each unique to its respective enterprise. Utilizing a comprehensive methodology, constraints were categorized and evaluated through both Total Scoring Method and Principal Component Analysis (PCA).The Total Scoring Method facilitated the systematic ranking of constraints based on respondents' situational perceptions.
