Welcome to Pipal Tree
Action and reflection on social and environmental initiatives

Pipal Tree attempts to create a symbiosis of the personal, the social and the ecological that leads to sustainable development practices. In the past sustainable development was concerned with inclusive approaches that underscored social justice. Today we have the added challenge of climate change. Things have come to such a pass that we realise that the survival of the human species demands that we immediately adopt a nurturing and respectful attitude to our planet. This calls for a new vision of sustainable development.
