    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)
