In Mumbai, the Goregaon-Mulund Link Road project is expected to have a drastic effect on 1,524 trees.
A BMC official said, “While there are 1,524 trees that fall in the alignment, the project is likely to impact 695 that will need felling and 666 which will be required to be transplanted.
NGO Watchdog foundation has said that the proposed destruction and transplantation of such a large number of trees is deeply concerning and could have irreversible consequences for Mumbai’s environment and ecological balance. The loss of hundreds of trees will adversely affect biodiversity, air quality, urban temperatures, and the overall quality of life of Mumbaikars,” said the NGO in a letter sent to the BMC. There are also many trees which come only in the influence zone and may not impacted but as a precautionary measure we have still accounted for them. “Development cannot come at the cost of destroying the very environment that sustains us.
