As part of a road widening scheme, hundreds of trees, including ancient and sacred ones, are being cut down in Kathmandu and Patan.
The once green cities are turning into concrete jungles. As trees decrease temperatures and pollution and absorb water, city dwellers and animals increasingly are unable to cope. The tree felling arguably is driven by corruption through the sales of the wood.
We, the undersigned, call on the Department of Roads and the Kathmandu Valley Town Development Authority to:
1) immediately stop the felling of trees,
2) to come up with an intelligent road design which includes existing and new trees and,
3) to launch an investigation into corruption involving the sales of the wood.
