If (another) tree falls.... tens of thousands have and will notice. Yes, another laurel, this one opposite the cathedral, has succumbed to long-standing problems. It is quite sad to see these trees go, because they are such a part of the atmosphere of the zocalo, but Mother Nature can be tough. When it time to go.... Note: the photo is from an earlier tree. I have the one in the story, but I can't find it.
Here's a rough translation from
Noticiasmex
One of the laurel of india which was returned to planting last May 19, 2011, in the Alameda de Leon then of being knocked down by heavy rains and winds that whipped the Oaxacan capital that year; It has died.
In complete abandonment, dry and with mushrooms in your trunk luce laurel 100 years, in which the direction of ecology of the municipality of Oaxaca de Juarez invested more than 200 thousand pesos for their rescue.
Despite the warning from environmentalists about the poor state of the tree and the few possibilities that existed for their rescue, the stage manager and the direction of city ecology decided to continue with the work of replanting.
Two years of the fact, in the eyes of thousands of visitors and Oaxacan, majestic tree has dried and so far no federal, State or municipal authority has pointed out what will be done with the copy which is still subject to several steel cables.
It should be noted that at that time, the Coordinator of the Group of environmental organizations of Oaxaca (COAO), Nazario García Ramírez warned that 86 trees planted in the socket and the Alameda de Leon may be infected with fungi, due to the constant change of flowers in the planters, which are pests.
So it rejected the replanting and pointed out that that resource could have used in the purchase of another tree and in the implementation of preventive actions towards other individuals that are at risk of falling.
