How Can Wayanad Prevent Future Disasters? | Uma Sudhir in Conversation with C K Vishnudas | DeKoder

Описание: Can Wayanad become more resilient without sacrificing its unique ecology?

In this conversation with Uma Sudhir, ecologist C K Vishnudas argues that resilience begins with better planning, not bigger projects.

He says development in fragile hill regions should be guided by rigorous impact assessments, local geography, and climate realities, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Instead of prioritising large infrastructure projects alone, he calls for greater investment in healthcare, agriculture, and essential public services that directly improve people's lives.

Vishnudas also stresses that local communities must have a meaningful voice in shaping development. As climate risks intensify, he believes sustainable planning and public participation will be key to protecting both people and the environment.
