        Toulouse: Action Against The Cutting Of A London Plane Tree

        Toulouse: Action Against The Cutting Of A London Plane Tree

        Residents of a small neighborhood in Toulouse are calling on the NGO GNSA (National Group of Trees Observation) to help protect an at least 80-year-old London plane tree from being cut down. Vincent, a member of the GNSA, is placing a banner that cites a French constitutional law stating, ''Everybody has the duty to contribute to the preservation and improvement of the environment.'' The town hall argues that it is simpler to cut the tree down as its roots are starting to break through the concrete. Trees are widely recognized for their ability to combat the urban heat island effect through shade and evapotranspiration. The inhabitants express their fondness for listening to birds in the morning and emphasize the tree's importance in cooling the area during summer, especially with the increasing number of heatwaves. They also mention that the tree's shade lowers the temperature by nearly 4?C. This is happening in Toulouse, France, on May 2, 2024. (Photo by Alain Pitton/NurPhoto)

                      (240428) -- BIJIE, April 28, 2024 (Xinhua) -- In this aerial drone photo, members of a canal maintenance team check the water flow of a canal on the cliffs in Shengji Township of Bijie City, southwest China's Guizhou Province, April 24, 2024. On the precipitous cliffs, there are several canals that provide water for nearby farmlands in Shengji Township. One of the daily work for canals' maintenance team members is to clear withered branches and fallen rocks out of the canals. In Shengji Township, it is a typical karst landform. Rainwater swiftly permeates the hills and grounds after falling from the sky, little of which can be left for local people's livelihood. From the 1950s to the 1970s, with support of water conservancy departments, local villagers tirelessly carved out ten canals spanning over 130 kilometers amid the rugged mountains and constructed eight reservoirs. With the completion of these canals and reservoirs, previously barren lands were transformed into fertile ones wherever the water
