On April 22 the green movement activist Mariam Sukhudyan posted an alarm signal on Facebook, trees were fallen down in the territory of “Drakht” restaurant. “At this very moment healthy poplar trees are being fallen down in Botany Garden, next to Drakht Restaurant. Whether the administration of Botany garden is aware of this tree felling?” asks Mariam Sukhudyan and adds, “there were no administration representatives, or guards in the garden, the door was closed, nobody was seen in the territory.”
The workers of the Botanical Garden commented EcoLur that the machinery was brought to the garden for planned pruning of poplars under the guidance of Deputy Head Gagik Movsisyan. “These are planned works,” said Zhirayr Vardanyan, Botany Institute Director, and outlined that Botany Institute is the most important stakeholder in preserving its collection. For our part, we would like to not that “green” signals should be welcomes by those institutions, which supervise large territories difficult to guard. The Botanical Garden is open for visits. People come here in groups, leave garbage after them and cause fires. Moreover, indifferent people give a helping hand, for whom it doesn’t matter whether or not an additional tree will be cut down.
