 "Tree Ambulance")
Delhi has millions of trees. Many are several decades old. “Just like human beings, they need nurturing and looking after. When they are old, they need injections and pruning. When they fall over, they need to be treated with respect. Trees give us so much. So we need to care for them” says Jitender Kumar, the operator of Delhi’s only Tree Ambulance. In Delhi alone, every year, close to 200 trees are felled by storms or simply dry up. Many more are cut to make way for roads and bridges.
Launched in 2010 by the New Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC)
