Erach Bharucha gets ‘Earth Hero’ award

• A pioneer of environment education in India, Erach Bharucha, has been named for the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) ‘Earth Hero’ award for this year.

• “All of you need to work with conservation, whichever profession you are in. The significance of these awards are that it brings recognition for hotspots of biodiversity and the need for conservation... For conservation to be successful, we need the number of conservation conscious individuals to reach a tipping point and the press and schools are the two mediums which can make this happen,” he said.

• Mr. Bharucha is currently the Director of Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University in Pune.
