Invite to Urban Ecotourism Bus Tour Exploring the Lifelines of Delhi
Have you ever touched the Yamuna? Have you ever entered the Ridge? Are you aware that not only are these two landscape features the life-lines of Delhi, they also provide critical ecosystem services to each one of us without which life would not be the same in the city. If you are, we invite you to come on board the urban ecotourism bus tour this Earth Day, to do a status check of the lifelines of Delhi. If you aren’t, hop on still and get introduced to the natural heritage around you. This Earth Day 2011, all of us must take out time to say a BIG THANK YOU to Mother Earth and all that it provides without asking for anything in return.
The ‘Earth Day’ urban ecotour will be an attempt to explore the political ecology of Delhi, and bring the citizens closer to the two lifelines of the city: River Yamuna and the Delhi Ridge! Delhi Greens, in partnership with Jamghat – a group of street children and with support from the Earth Day International, invites all those who have ever been fascinated by Delhi, or are interested in urban environments and even those who are simply amazed by cities! This Earth Day 2011, come participate in the urban eco-tour! Its time to think global and act local!
