Save Wetlands, Save the Planet

Wetlands are among our most critical yet threatened ecosystems, protecting us from floods, storing carbon, and sustaining local livelihoods. Safeguarding them begins with building strong public understanding and community stewardship. This video highlights the step-by-step process of creating wetland awareness through culturally rooted education, school engagement, and community-driven action.

Awareness programme on importance of wetlands

CAG, in collaboration with the Tamil Nadu Wetlands Mission, implemented a dynamic awareness programme across communities and schools near Ennore Creek, Pallikaranai Marsh, and Pulicat Lake, using folk arts, puppet shows, competitions, and IEC tools to make wetland knowledge engaging and accessible. The initiative reached over 1,170 students and 300 community members, raising overall wetland awareness from 40.1% to 74.1% and demonstrating the power of participatory communication in strengthening environmental stewardship.

Climate Denial

Thu, 27/11/2025 - 09:57

Political climate denial isn’t just about rejecting science, it’s about refusing responsibility. For years, leaders have downplayed the crisis while being quick to blame others for its consequences. This refusal to own the problem has stalled action and shifted the burden onto communities already facing the impacts. When no one in power steps up, the crisis deepens. Political climate denial is ultimately a failure of accountability: no one wants to take responsibility, but everyone is happy to point fingers.
