The worldwide coronavirus pandemic gives us cause to reflect deeply on how we live. Even question the meaning of modern civilisation itself. One reason for the pandemic, which experts have flagged, is our relentless violation and exploitation of habitats, which brings man and animal in uncomfortable, sometimes, fatal proximity.
How? Because many of the most dangerous viruses and bacteria that infect us are zoonotic. That is they jump from animals, who are more resistant to them, to humans who are not.
The coronavirus, too, is believed to have jumped from bats to humans, possibly through an intermediary such as the pangolin, in the wet markets of Wuhan, China.
Sunderlal Bahuguna Obituary: A messiah of forests who taught us how to hug
Chipko movement founder Sunderlal Bahuguna
His name may be synonymous with the Chipko movement â the practice of hugging trees to prevent their felling â but Sunderlal Bahuguna, a practising Gandhian, was passionate about many other social issues as well, including womenâs empowerment, the anti-liquor movement, removal of caste discrimination, promotion of nonviolence and the agitation against large dams.
The 94-year-old activist died of Covid-related complications in the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rishikesh, where he was admitted on May 8 after testing positive for Covid-19. The end came around noon on May 21; but as he departed, he left behind a valuable legacy of social activism based on Gandhian and humanitarian principles, fired with compassion and a strong sense of responsibility.
