Abstract
The world is facing a climate emergency, and on July 31, the people of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve woke up to the stark reality that they may be inhabiting a dangerously vulnerable landscape. Maladaptation – development that is blind to climate change – is converging with heavy monsoonal activity to trigger landslides. On July 30, landslides in Wayanad flattened an entire valley and claimed over 400 lives (as per NDTV on August 7).
