Prof TV Ramachandra from the Centre for Ecological Sciences, IISc speaks to Let’s Talk Water podcast host Nolan Pinto.

He details his vision for Bengaluru on the way forward, how lakes can be saved, how many trees a person requires to breathe well, and the work done by his team to revive dying lakes.

He focuses on the land, builders and bureaucracy mafia holding them responsible for many ills facing the city and state.
