A tree to stop the traffic road
It is an oak tree and has between 700 and 800 years. It had recently gained the status of monumental tree, entitled to protection granted by an official commission. To achieve this, the inhabitants of a Turkey Aegean village took to the streets to protest against the felling of the tree.
Kadkikoy citizens and environmentalists began to stand guard around the oak tree to keep it from being chopped down as part of the construction of the Salihil Denizli highway.
Salih Atlamaz Budan head of the Budan Association for the Protection of Natural Life and Culture made the question that justifies protest’s success:
The road can go through anywhere, but how many trees are there around that are 800 years old?
And so, road construction should pass by for another location and Kadikoy’s residents will continue to have their oak shadow.
