A day well spent planting some mango saplings which we grew from the seeds we had collected & sowed in coconut shells & upcycled cardboard boxes.
When you dig into the soil you remember," I am of the Earth".

MMRCL clearing so called shrubs & bushes in Aarey with JCBs & earthmovers..
These shrubs may look like trees..
#MMRCLDontLie#JusticeForAareyForest
Ongoing destruction at Aarey will not only destroy the biodiversity found here but will also destroy the lives and livelihoods of the tribals who have been living here for more than a 100 years
#JusticeForAareyForest#MMRCLDontLie
Species thought to have been extinct have been rediscovered in Aarey, like the Tarantula found after 110 years, the Trapdoor Spider found after 110 years and another Tarantula rediscovered after 100 years

Science is telling us that as we invade forests, destroy biodiversity & homes of species, we create conditions for new diseases.
Covid,monkeypox, how many more pandemics do we need to get these facts into our barisn?

The tree felling being done inside the Aarey forest is in violation of the 2019 stay order on tree cut in Aarey by the hon'ble Supreme court.

Amid all the heavy tree felling & construction activities in Aarey,
A leopard shows up at a tribal hamlet in Aarey today..
Any more destruction of their habitat may lead to increased human wild conflicts & tribals are the most vulnerable here..

Huh you Save Aarey protestors,
You were protesting for those 62 hectares of Aarey forest for a metro shed,
Now we'll run the #BulletTrain through Sanjay Gandhi National park & Tungareshwar wildlife sanctuary also cut 50,000 mangroves.

World Environment Day for the rest of the rest of the world but for us just another day at the forests..
Planted few native trees,
Sowed the mango seeds collected,
Watered the previously planted saplings..
#ForestRestoration#WorldEnvironmentDay#Mumbai
My annual ritual to secure seeds & plant as many mango trees I can..
This year i've collected around 50 mango seeds left from the mangoes i ate.
Used coconut shells left after having water,to plant these seeds.

Celebrating Mothers day with mother nature 💚
Doing our bit to relieve these plants from scorching heat..
Watering activity at Sanjay gandhi National park for recently planted saplings..
As summers & heatwaves peak
these tiny plants struggle to survive..
Do join in.
10 sharp shooters to hunt a tiger in Chandrapur,Maharashtra..
While the state stayed mum on 40+ tiger deaths mostly due to poaching..
With coal mines,highways & encroachments in their habitats,
Where do they go?

Look at the humidity levels in Mumbai,
Its nothing about the future,
As warned by the scientists,
Mumbai & other coastal regions are turning unhabitable.
This humidity will then lead to manufacturing of extreme weather events into the Arabian sea.

A 16 year old class 10th student from Faridabad ended his life journey,
In his suicide note mentioned sexuall harassment & inferior treatment for being dyslexic.
Homophobia & ableism claimed one more innocent life today.
