In the city of Melbourne, Australia, a reforestation plan is being carried out to stop the drought. The plan is linked to the authorities who have created an interactive map with information on each of the seventy thousand trees that make up Melbourne's urban forest. Each tree has been assigned an identification number and email so that people can report something. The main intention of creating this program is to raise awareness of the importance of nature in this place. Some Melburnians have taken the opportunity to write directly to the trees. They have done it through greetings, love letters. “An incredible thing. They write to us from Russia, Germany, Hungary, Singapore to talk to our trees…People are talking to these trees literally as if they were people, telling them how much they love them, thanking them for protecting them from the sun or apologizing when their dog pees in them.
them in the morning,” explains Arron Wood, head of the city's Environment Department. The authorities have had to respond to every message that arrives in the mail, since many people contact them to find out about the status of their trees. They respond as if it were the tree that gives thanks. “Dear Oliver, thank you for your lovely Iceland Mobile Number List words. I'm very well. Enjoy your day. Sincerely, Tree 1441724. With this reforestation program, it has been possible to increase the bond between people and the city's trees and it is easier to draw citizens' attention to the problem of drought and the negative effects that the forest could have. Some messages received “Dear green-leaved elm, I hope you like living in Sant Mary. I like it too, most of the time. This season I have to take an exam and I should study. You don't have to take exams because, well, you're a tree. I don't think we have much more to talk about, since we don't have many things in common, since, after all, you are a tree. But I am happy about this our bond. Kisses". “Dear Golden Elm, you deserve to be known for more than just a number.
I love you. Always and Forever". The drought that is destroying the trees The city's goal is to double the area covered by tree canopies by 2040 and thus absorb carbon dioxide to reduce the "heat island" effect, common in cities. Eucalyptus trees are the trees found in Melbourne, followed by plane trees and elms. Other common species are ficus and acacias. It is estimated that in the coming years, four out of every ten trees will be lost, so around 3,000 plants will have to be planted to replace them.
