    Toulouse: Action Against The Cutting Of A London Plane Tree

    Vincent is climbing a tree wearing a vest with the logo of the NGO GNSA in Toulouse, France, on May 2, 2024. Residents of a small neighborhood have called upon the NGO GNSA (National Group of Trees Observation) to assist in protecting an at least 80-year-old London plane tree from being cut down. Vincent, a GNSA member, is placing a banner that highlights a French constitutional law stating, ''Everybody has the duty to do their part to the preservation and the 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 known to be effective in combating the urban heat island effect through their shade and evapotranspiration. The inhabitants express their appreciation for the birdsong in the morning and emphasize the tree's importance in cooling the area during the summer and its increasingly frequent heatwaves. They also mention that the tree's shade reduces the temperature by nearly 4?C. (Photo by Alain Pitt
