Parisians up in arms over plan to fell trees near Eiffel Tower

Paris is aiming to redevelop the area around the Eiffel Tower in time for the 2024 Olympic Games, but the city's residents are beginning to rebel over a plan that would see 22 trees ripped up.

The Paris mayor's office wants to build tourist facilities and offices at the foot of the world-famous landmark.

Workers make living 40 meters high up

Pruning workers in the Aegean province of Balıkesir's Edremit district challenge the height on the top of trees that are 40 meters tall so that young saplings can receive the sun.

Workers, also known as 'squirrel man' among the people, started to work in line with the rejuvenation of the vegetation project in the world-famous Kaz Mountains conducted by authorities.
