Bansuri partnered with the Pune Tree Watch, a support group for citizens wishing to take action against tree felling. They became a pressure group that compelled the relevant authorities in Pune to make tree felling illegal. Their biggest achievement was to actively involve civil society in their endeavour. We also supported the publication of a booklet “The Green Vein” – a citizen’s guide to help and conserve the city’s green cover.
