Today, trees are being cut indiscriminately and people are craving greenery. Forests are slowly getting destroyed, and in big cities, the situation is such that one has to find a place to plant trees. During such times, Anop Bhambu, a resident of Jodhpur, Rajasthan, has a unique commitment to their love for nature. They are so attached to the environment and greenery that they decided to plant wherever they find a place for trees to grow.
Till now, he has planted hundreds of plants of different species — shady, flowering, medicinal — in schools, villages, temples, houses etc.
Bhambu tells that he has planted saplings at many places in the villages that are now fully grown. He said how he feels pleasure in seeing his plants grow.
One can take good care of plants and take responsibility for the conservation and advocacy of tree planting only if one becomes friends with them. Even if you want to go somewhere as a guest, take your plants along and get them planted. This will also inspire others around you to become more aware of environmental protection.
Environment lover Bhambu says that environmentalists Shyam Sundar Jyani and Padma Shree awardee Himmata Ram Bhambu are his sources of inspiration. The work of environmental protection he is doing is only possible because of the inspiration of both. Bhambu has been awarded many awards for his work. Being a nature lover, he is recognised among the people as an environment lover and tree friend.
