Kamble has been experiencing solastalgia, a form of emotional distress faced when the environment undergoes significant changes. It caused by climate change, deforestation, and rapid urbanization.
In his paper, Albrecht describes solastalgia as the pain experienced when the place one resides in and loves is under immediate assault.
Over the years, research on solastalgia has increased. However, studies remain limited, particularly in lower- and middle-income countries, which are severely impacted by the climate crisis.
Kamble finds it difficult to share his experiences. "Sometimes, I feel anxious, nervous, and then I feel like I miss something, although I live in the same place."
