PTI file photo BENGALURU: Isro’s Space Applications Centre (SAC) has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment (ATREE) to combine satellite data with ecological field research.“The collaboration will focus on mapping India’s grasslands and other open natural ecosystems, which have often remained under-represented in policy and planning. It will also assess the impact of restoration efforts on degraded lands and develop improved methods to estimate both above- and below-ground carbon,” a statement issued Thursday, read.The partnership will bring together SAC’s capabilities in large-scale geospatial mapping with Atree’s interdisciplinary ecological research and on-ground experience. The aim is to generate reliable, policy-ready datasets that can support decision-making at both national and state levels.“The two institutions will also work on creating standardised and scalable approaches to identify and monitor ecosystems such as grasslands, savannas and deserts. These landscapes, though ecologically significant, have received limited attention compared to forests,” the statement read.The initiative is expected to feed into land use planning, climate action strategies, conservation efforts and rural livelihood programmes. By improving how ecosystems are mapped and assessed, the collaboration seeks to provide a clearer picture of changes on the ground.The partnership aligns with India’s commitment to achieve land degradation neutrality by 2030 and contributes to broader sustainable development goals.About the AuthorChethan KumarChethan Kumar is a Senior Assistant Editor with the Times of India.

The ruins of Honiak Music Academy after the strike. NEW DELHI: In the shattered remains of his 15-year-old music school, Iranian musician Hamidreza Afarideh sat on a debris-laden floor, drew his bow and played with a kamancheh, what he called “the last sound” of a life’s work reduced to dust.Weeks after a strike destroyed Honiak Music Academy, Afarideh walked back into the hazardous ruins on April 7, 2026, and recorded a haunting video that quickly travelled far beyond Tehran, capturing his moments of deep grief after an airstrike on March 23 left the academy razed and severely damaged. Once a classroom, Honiak Music Academy is now a field of rubble.“Today was the last day to say goodbye to my school. I wanted the last sound that remains in this place to be the sound of music…not explosions and missiles,” Afarideh wrote the same day, in a now viral post. Within days, his images and clips had racked up millions of views across Instagram, X , Youtube and TikTok, prompting a flood of multilingual reactions online, with many seeing it as a stark reminder of the human cost beyond military headlines, triggering widespread calls to “stop war.” Honiak Music Academy before the strike.Speaking to TOI from Tehran, Afarideh recalled the day of the attack. “I felt that a very important part of our memories, and sounds that could have continued in that space—sounds that many artists could hear, see, and live with for years—were suddenly destroyed by a missile and a drone.” The academy, built over a decade and a half by Afarideh and his wife, Sheida Ebadatdoust, was what he calls “their shared life project.”“We worked with very limited resources, relying only on our dreams and dedication to build this academy. Losing it suddenly is extremely hard. All our hard work, efforts, continuous actions to bring people closer to music and instruments was lost in a single night. It is very difficult to accept. Everything we built over so many years… This loss will take years to process.” Once a classroom, Honiak Music Academy is now a field of rubble.Despite the risk of collapse, he returned to the damaged building. “I knew it was very dangerous… but I felt that if I didn’t record this sound, it would stay in my heart forever. I might not stay (alive) afterwards… I felt I had to go there and make this the last image and the last sound remaining from the safe space we had created.”For years, the academy buzzed with the laughter of children, warm chatters of parents, and the layered sounds of Persian classical music. Since the attack, says the teacher, “That sound disappeared.” For Afarideh, the viral moment has brought global attention—but also underscored, he says, “the reality of war and destruction” faced by his 250 students—ranging from toddlers to the elderly—and 22 teachers. His video has become a global plea for recognition of the cost of war not just in bodies and infrastructure, but in art, memory, and the fragile ecosystems of creativity that take decades to build and minutes to erase.Shaped over a decade, he calls the place a “second home” where students came not just to learn music but to feel seen and held—for them, too, the loss has been personal. “Students, who were to return someday, are now scattered, shell‑shocked, and struggling to process what happened. One child crossed the building with his mother and didn’t speak for hours afterwards. All students are going through similar feelings.”Yet even in devastation, Afarideh insists on the universal power of art. “Music… is a symbol of freedom,” he said. “In times of war, it can heal—even if only a little—the pain of those who have lost everything.”About the AuthorIsmat AraAt The Times of India, Ismat Ara covers politics, people, and societies, with a focus on accountability, justice, and lived experience.
