"The big trees that grow along the Central Vista are a special kind of jamun, not any jamun. Don’t you think that if you’re planting up a grand, ceremonial avenue, you need to know exactly what you’re doing?" Pradip Krishen on Central Vista 'redevelopment' indianexpress.com/article/expres…

"..Fully grown trees, removed en-masse, cannot be replaced by saplings of any size whatsoever. Ecosystems cannot be transplanted, rather they take several decades to grow & mature. Once destroyed, they never regain their former functioning." -Vallari Sheel #SaveCentralVista
