Anil Agarwal on Ecological Literacy

"Environmental literature being generated for school children is, with some exceptions, in the genre of nature education. It is very important to expose young children to the beauties and wonders of nature. But as they grow older, it is important they begin to understand how human beings and human societies interact with their environment for their survival and their growth, how these human interactions become a part of a society's culture, and why it is important to rationalise our relationship with our environment."
