@peppea happens in germany too. it's absolutely insane and a racket.
@bonifartius Near where I lived a "Green" organisation chopped down 5.000 trees near a small lake and the government even subsidised it with millions of euros. They planted reed to attract a rare little bird. A year later it all got destroyed by flood rains. Absolutely insane.
@peppea that at least has had a sane purpose, maybe the implementation was just shit. cutting down tree mono culture to build back a habitat at least really is about helping nature and not for profits. it's just not as easy as people think to restore that what was destroyed.
cutting down trees for fucking wind energy when atomic power exists is hating nature and replacing it with death for profit.
@bonifartius Well is was interspersed with grasland and heather, it there were rabbits and deer living there. The trees also blocked the view on an industrial area. Now this industry is visible in plain sight. There is a rest stop where walkers and cyclists can have a drink and a snack. Their view is now totally destroyed. Same goes for the locals who all opposed the chopping down of the trees.
