Korowai tribe

Korowai tribe of Papua, Indonesia, has engineered and survived in towering tree homes as high as 114 feet above the ground.

They live up in the trees to protect themselves from swarming mosquitoes, evil spirits, and of course, troublesome neighbours. The tribe uses labour-intensive measures to create each of their high-rise wooden homes atop trees.

Each house is sturdy enough to accommodate up to a dozen people. This also includes the towering ladder constructed to reach the tree house. The home itself boasts floors and walls made of tree bark and a roof lined with leaves.

If Delhi wants cleaner winters, it needs more green cover, not just temporary interventions. Clouds may not cooperate, but trees always will.
