The founding of the Global Climate Association was deeply influenced by the profound connection to nature my father fostered in me from a young age. His compassionate acts of rescuing injured wildlife—ranging from kites and turtles to dogs and koels—and his dedication to nurturing plants, wildlife photography and painting skills, instilled in me a profound sense of unity with the natural world. His meticulous bird-watching logs, extensive library on flora and fauna, and his involvement with the organization of Salim Ali, India's renowned ornithologist, enriched my knowledge and shaped my career path as an environmental and climate educator and researcher.
The passing of my father on April 29th, 2021, amid the Covid-19 pandemic, profoundly deepened my commitment to his legacy. This pivotal moment strengthened my resolve to guide the next generation towards fostering a deep, loving bond with nature, ecosystems, and our planet's climate. It has become my purpose to continue his work, inspiring others to cherish and protect our environment just as he taught me.
Terra Confluence 2024 an initiative by the Global Climate Association in collaboration with organizations across the world is dedicated to people like my father who with their gestures, action and kindness have created a hopeful world where change is possible even in the face of challenges such as climate change.
Your loving daughter
Poulomi
