Abstract

This case study, documents the trials, tribulations and victories of a citizen’s movement to protect the environment — in this case the Chevella banyans. These banyans that are of ecological, historical and cultural importance were under threat of being axed for a road widening project. This case study can be used as a teaching resource in undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, and by civil society organisations and citizens as a guiding document to understand how they can contribute to protecting the environment, the strategies they can apply and the challenges they might face.
