Urban Tree Lobby. Green heroes
Trees don't have a voice. You and I have one
ABOUT THE PROJECT
Tell us about the role of green spaces in shaping the microclimate of Central Asian cities and the impact of "living" trees on the economy and health. We discover how heated and polluted areas where trees are cut down become and how this affects people's quality of life. Activists, experts and volunteers help us to investigate the problems and find solutions.
Let's get to know each other

Did you know that each of us has environmental rights? We'd love to share the experiences of citizens who have been able to assert them, as well as what trees should be used in urban landscaping to reduce anthropogenic pollution and create a favourable microclimate.
Thanks to civil society, the situation in our countries has recently improved: new parks are being built and green spaces are being created. But at the same time, large amounts of money are still being spent on ornamental gardening; tiered plant groups are hardly ever planted, and the trees are often pruned incorrectly, causing them to die.
