Swami Prem Parivartan, famously known as ‘Peepal Baba,’ is an environmentalist. He has a postgraduate degree in English Literature and a master's degree in Mass Communications. He teaches college students for a living and spends the rest of his day traveling and teaching people the art of planting trees. He promotes natural farming techniques and gives talks on organic farming. He founded the Give Me Trees Trust in 2010 after years of independently planting trees on his own. Now, along with his team, Peepal Baba has planted and conserved over 1.25 crore Peepal trees.
