“I must congratulate The Greener Side for engaging with the younger generation and carving out a niche for collaborative thinking and action. Societal engagement is a must for biodiversity and habitat conservation. My best wishes to the team.”
“The Greener Side was a great chance to witness the diversity of voices advocating for wildlife. People will only fight to conserve what they truly connect with—and this fusion of art, music, storytelling, and photography, along with the opportunity to build a nature-loving community, is incredibly effective.”
“Hosting a panel discussion for The Greener Side made me see Mumbai through a new lens. The interconnectedness between humans and nature came alive in these conversations. I’m confident this initiative will inspire not just the next generation—but all generations—to grow, give, and get greener together.”
“We often travel to forests or beaches in search of nature. Initiatives like The Greener Side remind city-dwellers that their own neighborhoods are vibrant ecosystems—where humans and non-humans coexist and play equally vital roles.”
“The Greener Side is a thoughtful initiative by Echoes of Earth, one of the most sustainable music festivals committed to promoting wildlife conservation and coexistence. At a time when our planet faces unprecedented environmental challenges, we need movements like this to inspire collective action. Being part of this journey—one that deeply resonates with my values—has been meaningful. I’m honored to collaborate with The Greener Side and look forward to creating lasting change and spreading hope for a greener, more harmonious world.”
"The Greener Side gave me an opportunity to engage with a cross section of nature enthusiasts as well as fellow conservationists on the walks and the discussions. Such initiatives are important and essential as they help build bridges between conservation scientists like myself and nature enthusiasts. These initiatives help create awe and curiosity, bring about a sense of ownership and awareness for nature and our immediate environments. All these are key ingredients for inspiring our current and future generations to take proactive steps to live consciously and conserve nature."
