Saluting Bajirao's statue at Shaniwar Wada is not enough. We must protect the living legacy of Maharashtra's history. According to experts, only two trees over 200 years old remain in Pune — the historic mango tree at BHS and the peepal tree at Shukrawar Peth. These are not just trees. They are living witnesses to history. The peepal tree at Shukrawar Peth is linked to the story of Umaji Naik, the legendary Ramosi freedom fighter who was hanged by the British on 3 February 1832. To spread fear, his body was displayed on this very tree for three days. His sacrifice remains a symbol of resistance and courage. The BHS mango tree and the Shukrawar Peth peepal tree have silently witnessed generations of Pune's history. Once lost, they can never be replaced. 🌳 Protect Heritage. Protect History. Protect Trees. #SaveHeritageTrees #SavePuneTrees #PeshwaLegacy #BHSMangoTree #ShukrawarPeth #UmajiNaik #RamosiWarrior #FreedomFighter #PuneHistory #MaharashtraHistory #LivingHeritage #SaveOurTrees #TreeProtection #ClimateAction #CitizensForNature

While you remain busy, budgets are getting approved. People's representatives are planning ways to destroy #Pune's signature natural features. They claim that the ruin is for "public good". Be there to let them know there are things to avoid. Tell your friends too. 10am, 30 May

Pune ko concrete flood trap banaya ja raha hai. 🌊⚠️ Trees kaato, rivers concretize karo, phir floods pe surprise dikhao? Yeh development nahi, city destruction hai. 🌳🪚🔥 #SavePune #StopRFD

Legal notice served to Commissioner @navalMH & Mr. Ghorpade — yet silence continues. This isn’t delay, it’s a blatant insult to the Hon’ble High Court order. General Body conducted, but the mandatory Tree Committee still not formed. Clear violation. Zero accountability.

See the article below by @JasjeevGandhiok for @htTweets The Delhi Forest Department's proposal to green 10 acres of Central Ridge using Miyawaki plantations to address low survival rates of traditional methods raises the following serious ecological and economic concerns. Economic Disparity At Rs.1.25 crores per hectare, which is app 10 to 12 times the standard departmental costs of ₹8–10 lakh/hectare, this high outlay for intensive irrigation and soil enrichment is hard to justify when funds could restore far larger areas via site-specific ecology. Structural Flaws Miyawaki emphasises rapid growth over ecosystem health; ultra-high inputs of organic manure and profuse watering create high-density planting, forcing weak, pole-like trees competing for light. Central Ridge's Aravalli ecosystem thrives on natural hardiness—artificial mulching/watering risks creating intervention-dependent "forests." A true forest requires horizontal and vertical space for natural processes, including the recruitment of native grasses, shrubs, and the movement of local wildlife. Further, packing 100,000–150,000 saplings into a restricted area creates an impenetrable thicket. While this may provide high carbon sequestration metrics on paper, it suppresses the complex, multi-layered biodiversity inherent to the Delhi Ridge While the MoEFCC may support Miyawaki-style projects in small-scale urban pockets—often under Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives—the method lacks formal national policy endorsement for sensitive ecological zones. Implementing this without rigorous, zone-specific research across India’s diverse eco-climatic regions is premature Restoration Priority In the meantime lets accord priority and practice restoration by referencing native ecosystems, removing invasives like Prosopis juliflora, and using moderate-density planting to let abused ridges heal naturally. #Miyawaki #forest #trees #restoration

Moms & citizens have been raising their voices for cleaner air, safer streets & healthier cities for our children. With Pune set to introduce India’s first Low Emission Zone (LEZ) in Shivajinagar, this is more than a policy win, it’s proof that citizen led movements can shape urban futures. Less pollution. Better public transport. Walkable neighbourhoods. Healthier childhoods. @WMMaharashtra @walkingproject

अती शहाण्यांनी बाजार उठवला. विकासाचा भांग पिऊन त्यांनी डोंगर, नदीकाठ, रस्त्याच्या कडेची सगळी झाडं “अडथळा” म्हणून उपटून टाकली… जंगलं साफ केलं शहरं हीट आयलंड झाली, AQI ची पार वाट लागली AC गाडीत बसून, झाडांना वाचवण्यासाठी धावलेल्या लोकांना पाहून हे खुळे म्हणतात "वेड्यांचा बाजार"
