I am speaking with two plant and tree lovers, basically tree experts with extraordinary insights, botanical facts, myths, history, current issues and personal stories relating to four florae of their choice. My guest Mallika Ravikumar is a lawyer-turned-writer. She writes about history, culture and nature has authored over six books mostly for children. Nishanth Srinivas is based out of Shillong, and is working with an NGO called Conservation Initiatives. He specializes in satellite mapping and is interested in human–elephant interactions and landscape ecology. Show notes coming soon on my blog EarthyMatters
