Discussing Coastal Erosion and Indigenous Communities of Southwest India | In Conversation with Anagh

Interviewed by: Neha Tripathi and Madhumita Suresh The podcast conversation with Anagh explores the initiatives of Bring Back Green Foundation and their recent book on "Coastal Erosion and Indigenous Community of Southwest India”. We began by delving into the broad environmental challenges that India faces and the initiatives undertaken by the Bring Back Green Foundation to mitigate these challenges. Shifting our focus to Anagh's recent book on "Coastal Erosion and Indigenous Community of Southwest India," we explored the key idea behind its conception. The book aims to shed light on the issue of coastal erosion and its impact on indigenous communities. Anagh outlined some of the proposed solutions presented in the book, emphasizing the need for sustainable coastal management practices and community involvement in finding effective solutions. We also discussed briefly on the effectiveness of community participation in natural hazard adaptation and mitigation in the face of climate change. Finally, we delved into how the Bring Back Green Foundation mobilizes and engages young adults to raise awareness and take action on climate change. The foundation utilizes various platforms, campaigns, and educational initiatives to empower young adults, create awareness, and inspire action towards sustainable practices. Anagh is a passionate researcher and has been persistently working on human rights and environmental conservation. His organisation Bring Back Green Foundation has been actively trying to empower and collaborate with individuals to create a sustainable future. He believes that activism is a way of life and we all must stand up for what’s right, whenever possible. Being apolitical is never a choice. We welcome him on our podcast here and hope to exchange some valuable ideas.
