Dr Dhrubajyoti Ghosh noted stalwart and wetlands warrior of East Kolkata Wetlands (EKWs), as well as Regional Chair South Asia for International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Commission on Ecosystems Management (CEM), passed away on 16 February 2018. Indeed, it is a great loss for many working in conserving urban green and blue spaces and using nature-based solutions to address various environmental challenges and emerging threats. Ghosh, a UN Global 500 laureate and the first Indian recipient of the prestigious Luc Hoffmann Award during World Conservation Congress at Hawaii in 2016, was an ardent follower of nature-based solutions and ecosystem-based approaches.
