We are aware that environmental concerns such as ozone depletion, air and water pollution, global warming, desertification, and deforestation are causing serious damage to the planet. To drive home this existential point themed around World Environment Day, Dr Bhau Daji Lad City Museum, along with STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) Academy, has organised a walk through the museum plaza to look at the variety of trees, from mango, coconut and whistling pine, to jackfruit. It will be curated by Dr AP Jayaraman along with Abhishek Arekar, a biotechnologist, and will stress on the value of planting trees to mitigate climate change.
