Begonias are known around the world as a plant of beauty and diversity. What can they teach us about the world around us? Through his work on Begonias and other flowering plants found in Northeast India, Professor Dipankar Borah sees the world differently. It's not just for his own benefit though.“Much of my time is spent making students aware of their surroundings,” He says. “We trek to forests, cook food from the wilderness, and then find joy in the simple yet profound experiences. Through these moments of exploration and laughter, I hope to rekindle their sense of wonder and then help them build the lasting bond with nature.”In this episode, let Dr. Borah invite you with joy and wonder into the world of Begonias. Dipankar Borah's paper “A new species Begonia ziroensis and a new record of Begonia siamensis from Arunachal Pradesh, Northeast India” is in volume 63 issue 1 of the New Zealand Journal of Botany.It can be found here: https://doi.org/10.1080/0028825X.2023.2295439A transcript of this episode can be found here: Dipankar Borah - TranscriptNew Species: Begonia ziroensisEpisode image credit: Dipankar Borah Read more on Dipankar's Researchgate: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Dipankar-BorahAnd Follow him on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dipu.borah2/Be sure to follow New Species on Bluesky (@newspeciespodcast.bsky.social) and Instagram (@NewSpeciesPodcast) and like the podcast page on Facebook (www.facebook.com/NewSpeciesPodcast).Music in this podcast is "No More (Instrumental)," by HaTom (https://fanlink.to/HaTom)If you have questions or feedback about this podcast, please e-mail us at NewSpeciesPodcast@gmail.comIf you would like to support this podcast and enjoy bonus episodes, please consider doing so at https://www.patreon.com/NewSpeciesPod

de los árboles se mecían suavemente con la brisa cálida.En: The green leaves of the trees swayed gently with the warm breeze.Es: El aire estaba impregnado del aroma dulce de las flores que florecían en todo su esplendor.En: The air was filled with the sweet aroma of the flowers blooming in all their splendor.Es: Carmela, Diego y Esteban caminaban por los senderos de grava, listos para una nueva aventura.En: Carmela, Diego, and Esteban walked along the gravel paths, ready for a new adventure.Es: Carmela, con su bloc de notas en mano, observaba atentamente cada planta.En: Carmela, with her notebook in hand, attentively observed each plant.Es: "Mira, Diego, esta es una Begonia rara," dijo, emocionada.En: "Look, Diego, this is a rare Begonia," she said excitedly.Es: Diego, con su cámara colgada al cuello, ya estaba buscando el ángulo perfecto para capturar la belleza de la flor.En: Diego, with his camera hanging around his neck, was already searching for the perfect angle to capture the flower's beauty.Es: "¡Una foto perfecta ganará el concurso este año!En: "A perfect photo will win the contest this year!"Es: ", pensó con entusiasmo.En: he thought enthusiastically.Es: A pocos pasos detrás, Esteban notaba algo peculiar.En: A few steps behind, Esteban noticed something peculiar.Es: "Ah, esos capibaras," murmuró para sí mismo cuando vio un pequeño grupo de ellos correteando cerca de un lago artificial.En: "Ah, those capybaras," he murmured to himself when he saw a small group of them scampering near an artificial lake.Es: Desde que habían invadido el jardín, no habían dejado de causar travesuras.En: Since they had invaded the garden, they hadn't stopped causing mischief.Es: Los capibaras eran traviesos pero adorables.En: The capybaras were mischievous but adorable.Es: Sus ojos redondos y pelaje marrón claro los hacían irresistibles, pero también eran un quebradero de cabeza.En: Their round eyes and light brown fur made them irresistible, but they were also a headache.Es: En poco tiempo, empezaron a hacer de las suyas, corriendo entre las plantas y comiéndose algunas hojas que Carmela tanto anhelaba estudiar.En: In no time, they started causing trouble, running among the plants and eating some leaves that Carmela longed to study.Es: Diego se frustró cuando uno de ellos saltó justo cuando tomó una foto.En: Diego was frustrated when one of them jumped just as he took a photo.Es: "¡Se metió en la mejor toma del día!En: "It got into the best shot of the day!"Es: ", exclamó.En: he exclaimed.Es: Pero de repente, tuvo una idea.En: But suddenly, he had an idea.Es: "¿Por qué no usar a los capibaras como compañeros en mis fotos?En: "Why not use the capybaras as companions in my photos?Es: Podría ser algo diferente," pensó mientras enfocaba de nuevo.En: It could be something different," he thought as he refocused.Es: Carmela, no dispuesta a rendirse, decidió que necesitaba concentración.En: Carmela, not willing to give up, decided she needed concentration.Es: Le pidió a Diego que ayudara a distraer a los capibaras, mientras ella se acercaba a las raras plantas.En: She asked Diego to help distract the capybaras while she approached the rare plants.Es: Diego, entusiasmado con su nuevo enfoque, comenzó a seguir a los capibaras, capturando su comportamiento juguetón.En: Diego, excited about his new approach, began following the capybaras, capturing their playful behavior.Es: De repente, uno de los capibaras saltó y le arrebató la cámara de las manos a Diego.En: Suddenly, one of the capybaras jumped and snatched the camera from Diego's hands.Es: "¡No puede ser!"En: "It can't be!"Es: gritó, mientras el animalito corría ágilmente entre los arbustos.En: he shouted as the little animal ran nimbly through the bushes.Es: Comenzó una persecución cómica, con Esteban tratando de ayudar a Diego a recuperar su preciada herramienta.En: A comical chase ensued, with Esteban trying to help Diego recover his precious tool.Es: Finalmente, Esteban tuvo una idea brillante.En: Finally, Esteban had a brilliant idea.Es: "Si creamos una pequeña reserva para ellos, podemos mantenerlos felices y lejos de las plantas," propuso al personal del jardín.En: "If we create a small reserve for them, we can keep them happy and away from the plants," he proposed to the garden staff.Es: Su plan fue aceptado, y pronto los capibaras tuvieron un lugar seguro para jugar sin causar más problemas.En: His plan was accepted, and soon the capybaras had a safe place to play without causing further problems.Es: Los días pasaron,

There are fears big Wellington City Council budget cuts don't go far enough. The council yesterday voted in a mammoth meeting to make hundreds of millions of dollars of savings by slashing projects like cycleway spending, and demolishing Begonia House in the Botanic Gardens. Councillor Tony Randle told Mike Hosking the projects Mayor Tory Whanau managed to save, like the Golden Mile redevelopment and climate initiatives, should have been cut too. He claims they add more spending to the budget and says they now won't be able to make enough savings. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
