Mithi (June 06, 2026): Speakers at the seminar “Thar at Crossroads: Climate, Culture and Survival” emphasized the critical and urgent need to protect Thar’s fragile ecosystem, biodiversity, and centuries-old traditions of social harmony. They warned that rising temperatures and climate-induced disasters could make several areas of Sindh, including Thar, increasingly uninhabitable in the coming decades.
The speakers stressed the importance of planting and protecting native trees, promoting biodiversity, preventing and rehabilitating soil erosion by establishing green fencing, conserving grazing lands, and reviving traditional methods of water conservation. They cautioned that growing water scarcity, depletion of aquifers, and migration from villages to towns are disturbing the delicate balance between people, wildlife, and nature.They called for a lead role of local communities in safeguarding Thar’s future.
