Petition to save Aarey Forest often termed as Lungs of Mumbai

Aarey Forest is home to 76 species of #birds,80 species of #butterflies, 16 species of #mammals, 9 #Leopards and Tree Authority is planning to demolish a part of this forest just for developing a Metro Car shed.
Isn't the nature already giving us a wake-up call with its changing climate in the form of Rain and extreme weather anomalies ?
Aren't we supposed to fix the damage we have already done to your nature instead of aggravating the same ?
Just one tree of this forest absorbs 20 Kg of CO2 that our car emits after travelling about 80 Kms. Just imagine how much 2700 of these can take.
Still it seems it isnt enough for the government to stop this irresponsible act of cutting down trees even after having alternate viable options. They need us to remind them of their responsibilities towards the present and the future.
Lets sign this petition and keep the fight on till the better sense prevails and the authorities take the step back on this disastrous decision.
