Citizens attempt to revive mahua trees in Mumbai
by Hepzi Anthony
- A citizen’s group is undertaking plantation of the mahua tree for its varied benefits.
- While mahua was once seen in Mumbai, over the years, deforestation for urban growth, space constraints and the fact that mahua takes more than a decade to flower, have limited the spread of this species in Mumbai.
- Mumbai has lost 1,31,585 trees in the five years between 2016-17 to 2020-21.
