  “ The future of the Indian people hinges on biodiversity. Without considering  it and harnessing it, we just cannot survive - says  Uma Ramakrishnan  (National Centre for Biological Sciences)   Biodiversity is an element of human well being, like social cohesion, happiness, and connection to nature. The current level of poverty, hunger, increase in the frequency of calamities, disaster, pandemic, water scarcity call for an urgent action to improve human well being. Following the approach of achieving a robust state of human well being that leads to the preservation of biodiversity is needed instead of the immediate pursuit of minimal human well being that allows for further losses in biodiversity, that in turn, leads to a further decline in human well being. Biodiversity must be a central feature of sustainable development as there appears to be circularity in biodiversity conservation to improve human well being and finding a solution for pandemics.

The primordial reason for the environmental crisis is the loss of Emotional Attachment of Man towards Nature .   In the never-ending cycle of atrocities on nature and resource exploitation, from decades, by the growing human population, the Wounds of Nature are getting deeper and deeper .

Amidst COVID-19 pandemic , the whole world is isolated and threatened by half-a-million demises, the need for prolonging and effective methods to prevent the footprints of any such holocaust has come to our minds.   While several intellectual and scientists have concentrated on the need for improved healthcare infrastructures, environmentalists have suggested focusing on a grandiose step – " Healing The Nature" We have deceived Nature In 2019, Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services told: “about a million plant and animal species are at risk of extinction , along with 40% of insects”. A 2017 study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , displayed biological eradication representing fearsome assault on nature at the foundations of civilizations, indicated our inhuman arrogance towards nature – pushing towards vulnerability to unfavorable cues. The Pandemics – Causes     T his is not the first time; human...
