Among the trees, around 2,230 will be cut down, including 1,990 acacias. The rest include royal palms, chinaberry, golden shower, longan, guava, dracontomelon, and others. These are non-urban species or urban trees deemed deformed, decayed, old or dead.
Meanwhile, roughly 780 trees will be relocated to be grown along roads, at schools, sports centres and commune headquarters.
