Homeless


The trees are home to various species, right from creepers to animals to birds, the role they play in our ecosystem and food chain is extremely critical. There are several species that will be rendered homeless if the tress slaughter does not end. Look at this chameleon or woodpecker perched on a tree, this is the way nature has designed a system of co-existance and interdependence. Uprooting these giants will cause an imbalance that cannot be reversed. Can you picture this chameleon perched on an electric post or a concrete building instead of a tree?? It will be as pseudo as the various 'modern' scenes we witness on television and in society around us.

Much like global warming effect, the felling of tress is an important issue that is least tended to. In fact, tree felling adds to an existing and looming problem of global warming. Inline with our malignant monetary system, which has the rich getting richer and the poor becoming poorer, the way we treat trees is very similar. The slaughter keeps getting higher and higher, the conservation efforts is minimal. Rehabilitation is not a necessity anymore, it is an emergency action required.
