Abstract: 
In the Global South, livelihood environmentalism of the poor contrasts with alleged absence of environmental concern in the emerging middle classes. We present survey evidence from India suggesting that individuals abandoning farming and advancing to middle income still retain influence of past farming, or nature experience. Income and trait heterogeneity of impact on environmental concern then cause "tunneling" of a preference-driven Environmental Kuznets Curve.
