Excerpt from the Petition:
The pernicious proposed amendment to denotify 50 species of trees will ensure any and all of our trees can be cut down by ANY civic agency BBMP BSNL BWSSB BESCOM Et al.
We have enough green issues in our depeleting, denuded city The rule on cutting 50 trees plus needing public consultation is at best at is more followed as the exception than rule.
This move is anti environment, anti citizen & anti city -it will affect our city natural heritage, the air we breathe, climate charge, water conservation and and sheer beauty & aesthetics. In addition it will lead to rampant green carnage and complete disregard for the environment by corrupt builders and/or bureaucrats. Kings of yore lined paths with trees to offer shade & respitevtonits citizens, butvyoday our democratically elected leaders seem to dismiss all such basic goodness as luxuries, while they sit in air conditioned offices and spew pollution in their taxpayer funded cars .
What is doubly worrying is not just that they are trying to slime this amendment through, but despite citizen might on protecting green , they seem still brazenly committed to the destruction of the city. What does it say about our lawmakers ? What trust can we have in them ? They have tried this before with the steel flyover and the timber mafia had to back off.
MLAs, please vote AGAINST the amendment if you care for this city and it’s future, and if you care for the air we breathe & the water we drink. We said Beda before to protect our beloved Bengaluru and we are saying it again.
#EnoughAlready.

As Harini Nagendra Eco expert says : How to fell trees and destroy the environment
1) Amend tree act to exclude most common species from protection
2) Chop, chop, build, build
3) Complain about #airpollution and lack of water #Bangalore #Sustainability
