Amol Anand Buddhe, and his ‘The Tree Lovers Welfare Organisation’, have planted and nurtured more than 30,000 trees in and around Kolhapur city, replanted trees uprooted during storms, constructed tree guards, installed thousands of bird nests and water containers and removed nails and billboards from many trees under the FREE TREE CAMPAIGN. ‘Oxygen Aplya Dari’ is an initiative by the organization in which plants in pots are placed in narrow spaces. Their rescue team helps animals in distress. The organization runs forest tours, rare tree species seed collection drives, weekly plastic waste collection, and many more activities that have made a lasting impact on Kolhapur’s environment.
