How social media is being used to build bridges between people and urban biodiversity

The Hindu  

In 2019, the viral #50trees on Twitter got people across India to begin documenting trees in their cities. “This sudden realisation sparked a curiosity to learn not just about that particular tree but the trees all over Delhi,” Krishen says. “When you observe trees closely, you recognise the changes they are undergoing because of the rising effects of climate change,” says Jerome. “We have neglected native trees and I wanted to bring focus to it through the page,” says Onkar. Krishen also says that while it is good to see social media being used to promote awareness about trees, he worries about misinformation.
