"A Year Ago There Were 5 Healthy Trees in This Area": Environmentalist

Environmental activist Levon Galstyan has posted photos on his Facebook page, accompanied by a message stating: "Many might think such matters are not important, but I believe this kind of attitude is where our decline has begun. A year ago, when I first took this picture, there were 5 healthy trees in this area."

In the second photo, taken about 10 days later, only three trees remained. Naturally, I alerted the municipality, and they responded that an illegal logging had occurred and that there would be penalties; they had reported it to the police, etc.

Today, I see that the remaining three trees are also gone (see the third photo). All of them have been cut down by our brothers for the sake of their business.

In the fourth photo, you can see the fresh cut of the tree stump.
