Sisters Cycle 300km to Save Jaipur Forest, Appeal to PM Modi
Two young sisters in Jaipur, India, are trying to save a forest called Dol Ka Badh.
They rode their bikes 300 km to Delhi to ask the Prime Minister for help.
The forest is being cut down to build businesses and buildings.
The sisters and other activists are worried because the forest is home to many birds and trees.
They want the Prime Minister to stop the tree cutting and make the forest a protected area.
They are concerned about the impact of the development on the environment and are seeking a solution that protects nature while allowing for development.
The government says they will plant new trees to replace the ones being cut.
