Trees are not just an integral part of our ecosystem; they are life-givers. Their significance extends beyond aesthetics, as they purify our air, offer shade, combat pollution, and sustain a rich tapestry of wildlife.

Pune faces a crisis: worsening air pollution, increased urban heat, and unmanageable congestion due to a lack of good public transport. Cutting trees worsens these issues. While development is essential, we stand committed in our conviction that such advancement should not come at the cost of our environment. Our government authorities should explore alternatives for harmonious coexistence, including well-designed roads that retain and enhance tree cover and world-class public transport. Authorities must promote eco-friendly building practices and integrate trees into architectural designs. Our city’s livability and health depend on innovative, sustainable solutions.

Most recently, trees were chopped along Aundh-Wakad road and have been replaced with metal trees that serve only aesthetic purposes! We’re advocating for a balance between development and ecological preservation and we need your help. To help us continue the work we do consider donating.
