GUWAHATI: Assamese culture and conservation efforts took centre stage at the Natural History Museum in London, where intricately woven Mekhela Sador adorned with hargila motifs are on display.

The garment not only celebrate Assam’s traditional attire but also convey a powerful message about hargila (greater adjutant stork) conservation efforts led by Dr Purnima Devi Barman, a renowned biologist and UNEP Champion of the Earth.

The teal-coloured Mekhela Sador, intricately designed by Dr. Barman in collaboration with the Hargila Army women members, showcases the unique blend of traditional Assamese weaving and wildlife conservation.

This initiative was spurred by Jess Simpson from the Natural History Museum, who sought to highlight Assam’s conservation success story through textiles.

“This display allows visitors from London and around the world to learn about our conservation efforts in Assam through our cultural heritage,” remarked Dr. Barman, expressing her delight at the global recognition of their work.

Last year, a similar exhibition at the Design Museum in London garnered significant attention and is now set to travel to the Wereldmuseusum Museum in the Netherlands.

Dr. Barman highlighted the broader impact of these initiatives, stating, “This is not just about showcasing textiles; it’s about environmental education and community empowerment. It demonstrates how local communities can integrate conservation messages into their traditional crafts, preserving our biodiversity and culture.”

As the Director of Women in Nature Network, India chapter, and associated biologist with Aaranyak, Dr. Barman urged youth to initiate small steps towards conservation, stressing on the transformative power of grassroots efforts.

“I started this small initiative, which has now touched everyone’s heart. I urge all our youth to start with a small initiative for conservation, which can become something bigger one day,” she encouraged.

The display at the Natural History Museum highlights the rich biodiversity and cultural heritage of Assam, resonating with audiences worldwide and inspiring future generations to embrace sustainability and environmental stewardship.
