Tumkur: Tumkur University Vice-Chancellor Colonel (Prof.) YS Siddhegowda said that Environmental protection should be our daily routine. No one can survive without nature.
He was speaking at the World Environment Day celebrations held on Saturday at the National Service Planning Directorate of the University of Tumkur and the Postgraduate Department of Environmental Studies and Research.
“By shrinking the area of natural habitat for animals, we have created ideal conditions for pathogens including coronaviruses to spread. The fact remains that only with healthy ecosystems can we enhance people’s livelihoods, counteract climate change and stop the collapse of biodiversity,” he added.
Registrar K. Shivachittappa, Registrar of evaluation Nirmalaraju, Syndicate Members and others were present.
