Residents in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan say a whole alley of healthy trees has been cut down beside a kindergarten, 24.kg reports.
The trees stood by Balastan kindergarten on Razzakov Street, giving shade and shielding children from dust and exhaust fumes. Now, residents say, there is bare asphalt. They suspect the cutting is linked to plans to widen the road.
Why it matters: it is a small story with a big feeling behind it. A kindergarten lost its green buffer in a day, and the residents' question is simple: who decided a wider road was worth more than the trees?
