PAKISTAN CDA
Submitted by ipsita on Sat, 1995-04-15 00:00
Pakistani environmentalists in Islamabad are seeing red as the Capital Development Authority (CDA) recklessly strips away tree and vegetation cover. The reason for the ruthless deforestation: the prevalence of respiratory diseases triggered off by an exotic plant in Islamabad.
Experts, however, don't buy this explanation. They point out the CDA itself has introduced trees and shrubs of foreign origin -- without a comprehensive study of their impact on the local ecology.
