I’m worried about human beings. I was trying to understand what India is all about, what India’s people are all about. And that is how I stumbled upon the Earth. I realised that they have a deep relationship with the Earth, and that is why Earth became important to me." *[Source](https://cdn.cseindia.org/userfiles/anil-agarwal.pdf)* Contributions: - *Beyond Pretty Trees and Tigers in India* in [The Future of the Environment (1988)](https://openlibrary.org/books/OL10186280M/)
