Declaration to Protect Large Trees in Urban Settings
Large trees provide much greater services and amenities in Urban settings than do smaller trees
​
They are especially important in providing mitigation, adaptation and resilience in a changing climate
​
The high mortality rate of urban trees has lead to urban settings that have relatively few large trees to provide these essential services
​
It is more carbon intensive and costly to continuously replace urban trees that do not survive in current urban settings
Declaration to Protect Large Trees in Urban Settings
It is essential to recognize time urgency to Protect Large Trees in Urban Settings to accumulate and store more carbon out of the atmosphere as climate changes
​
The default needs to be proactive care rather than tree removal
​
Prioritize care of current trees in appropriate urban settings over planting new ones
​
Address safety considerations by altering the infrastructure of concern rather than replacing large older trees with younger smaller trees

An interesting insight of what is going on in planting activities which are now taking place are opinions of a person, who stands at the beginning of tree planting all over the world: Prof. Dr. Thomas Crowther. Now he admits, although he and his team never intended, the communication mistakes of their work from 2016 resulted damages, because planting trees became a simple solution to beat the climate change. I recommend listening to the TED video from 2020
A follow up podcast of Prof. Dr. Thomas Crowther from 2021 on the same topic.
