A big fight about nature has started. It is in Nicosia. The Ecologists party wants building to stop. Builders are making new homes. They are building on land.
The party says old trees were hurt. Some trees were taken away. This made people sad. Nature lovers are also worried.
This has been happening for some time. This week, it got worse. The Ecologists party wants building stopped. They say cutting big trees is bad. It hurts the city's green spaces. People agree. They saw trees cut. This happened without a good reason.
The Forest Department cannot always stop cutting. This is true if building is allowed. The Ecologists party thinks rules are not good. The rules do not help old trees.
The party has ideas to help. They want the Forest Department to have more power. This department could stop building that hurts trees. They want to protect special trees.
This shows a problem. We need homes. We also need nature. The Ecologists party wants building to stop. They want new rules. They want promises to protect trees. Many people agree. The government must help.
