Another ecological good news story, this one from Kashmir India.
Ahmad, whose four brothers also depend on the lake for their livelihood, says that seeing the lotus bloom again feels like a dream come true. “We had lost all hope that it would ever return. Some in our community even took up other work, like labouring, to survive. But we waited,” he says.
“Our elders used to collect lotus stems from the lake and sell them in various markets across the valley, especially during special occasions,” he says.
“After the lotus disappeared, they turned to fishing, but that didn’t prove as sustainable. The return of the lotus has brought back hope.”
