A signature campaign is underway in Kolkata to protect a 70-year-old tamarind tree planted by freedom fighter Parul Mukherjee. Residents and activists fear the tree, a significant landmark and biodiversity hotspot, may be felled without official protected status. A documentary highlighting the tree's ecological importance was recently featured at the Kolkata International Film Festival. The movement to save the tree intensified after builders acquired the adjacent property, prompting community efforts like concerts and bird-watching events to draw attention to its vulnerability.
