THE TREE IS SAVED!... for now

Amazing! All those neighbors waited until the last two trees before deciding saving them was actually more important than a video game or a TV program. The office of the Director de Ecología has contacted the engineers of the road construction and it was agreed to alter the plans to save the 80-year old ceiba. The nearby ficus tree was not mentioned, but seeing as it is also of considerable size perhaps it also will remain. Of the 280 or so trees already removed, a large number of them were coconut palm trees, and some were relocated to the airport highway where they can be seen dried up and dead or dying, much to the despair of locals who treasured their majesty.

Slowly but surely it appears parts of the population are waking up from their slumber!

I'm certainly proud of those folks for what they achieved! :like:
