Don't know if you've noticed, but trees have no voice
I'll just start with a few links I have found while pondering this subject. http://kunjmann.blogspot.com/2010/08/tree-rights-versus-human-rights.html - the beginning of an idea from one guy in India http://savingourtrees.wordpress.com/tag/energy-australia/ - the "community" view http://www.zazzle.com.au/when_you_top_your_trees_the_terrorists_win_bumper_sticker-128638921744841070 - An American perspective? http://saveourfigs.wordpress.com/tag/arboriculture/ - vigilantes make noise http://www.integral.com.au/wps/wcm/connect/a5fbc080405ac1fbb4d1bcdccb7f5ab5/Tree+Management+Plan.pdf?MOD=AJPERES - Nice policy, but it seems like a lot of sound and fury.... http://moreland-leader.whereilive.com.au/news/story/moreland-seeks-tree-clip-exemption/ - An example of the kerfuffle going on around the country over the horrific hack jobs energy companies are inflicting on trees.... and the obligatory council-bashing comments from readers I'll be posting photos of examples of energy companies' "pruning" as I get them. Submissions welcome. http://www.habitatadvocate.com.au/?page_id=123 - thought-provoking blog

Thank you for citing my link and advocating for the cause. The argument against trees is that there is an opportunity cost with their existence which has to be paid by the humanity. Furthermore, people believe that this cost is way too high vis-à-vis their material pursuits. Alas, I have seen trunks of reasonably grown trees sold by our tribal fellows for as low as INR 75 (US$ 1.5)!
