DAVAO CITY —A drainage improvement project of the Department of Public Works and Highways is destroying the trees lining along the drainage canal in Dacudao Avenue here, the environment group Interfacing Development Interventions for Sustainability said.
He said the IDIS estimated around 600 trees—which included gmelina, neem, and mahogany—along Dacudao Avenue in 2014 when the group started to campaign to protect the trees along that area. The group said the project, implemented in 2020 to “strengthen waterway embankment,” has left a significant impact on the trees.
Although the local government of Davao instructed DPWH “to break the concrete choking the trunk and roots of the trees,” the IDIS said it might not do much to ensure long-term health of the trees.
