Youth Eco Care
What the field teaches us.
Lessons and observations drawn from documented earlier conservation projects and field experience. Attribution matters: earlier activities are not presented as Youth Eco Care projects.
Conservation is also about relationships.
The Sanctuary Nature Foundation-supported Mud on Boots report, submitted by project leaders Shashank Ladekar and Kanhaiyalal Udapure, describes field experience in wetlands, waterbird monitoring, environmental education and engagement with village biodiversity committees.
The report reflects on a core challenge: wetlands matter to farmers, fishers, grazers and wildlife alike. Conservation planning must acknowledge those different relationships rather than treating the waterbody in isolation.
The work described in the report was conducted through that earlier project, not through Youth Eco Care.
