During Cyclone Tauktae, over 800 trees got uprooted in Mumbai. More trees will fall during the monsoon. Mumbai's fallen trees could survive if replanted.
Steps to save a fallen tree:
1) Identify the fallen tree
2) Assess the possibility of successful transplantation
3) Decide the location for transplantation/ replantation
4) Engage with stakeholders, vendors
5) Financing the operation
6) Tree removal and replantation/ transplantation
7) Post Plantation care. Ensure that roots aren't once again surrounded by cement
