The recent natural disaster in Wayanad, Kerala, resulted in the tragic loss of around 160 lives, with approximately 600 workers reported missing. This catastrophic event has prompted questions about the underlying causes of such intense natural fury. Experts highlight climate change as a major contributing factor.

According to scientists, the landslides in Wayanad can be attributed to a combination of factors including excessive mining activities, the depletion of forest cover in the region, and the broader impacts of climate change. These elements collectively contribute to the increased susceptibility of the area to such devastating natural events.
