The best way to secure Bahuguna’s vision would be for India’s youth to embrace the challenge of protecting the endangered flora and fauna that remain. Their awareness about the scale of the environmental crisis would be predicated on two critical factors. As always, education would play an important role in the transition of young citizens into eco-warriors. Research has found that rising ‘climate literacy’ has brought children out on the streets. Therefore, uniform and universal amendments to the curriculum to sensitize young minds are of paramount importance. The other necessity is politics. Here too, Bahuguna’s spirit can light the path. Between 1981 and 1983, Bahuguna had led a march across the Himalayas that ended with a meeting with the then prime minister, Indira Gandhi, who passed legislation to protect some areas of the Himalayan forests from tree-felling. Throughout his life, Bahuguna showed that linking the well-being of the community and the environment would not be possible unless it is turned into political capital, the only language policymakers seem to understand. There is yet another valuable lesson in this for India’s conservation and climate fraternity.
