That is just the relationship we have with trees and that is what makes this relationship so good.

The Aarey forest is the catchment area for important rivers - Mithi and Oshiwara.

As Mumbai reels from the impact of COVID-19, this was an occasion where one could forget about all that and celebrate nature in its true form. Without trees, we cannot survive, and it is up to us to keep them alive as well.

This is a great initiative to show the way for the rest of the country and the world as well. Deforestation threatens our very existence and it's time we took a stand. Such gestures go a long way in the long run.
