A cottonwood tree estimated at around 200 years old has been cut down in the United States to clear the way for an expansion of the border wall with Mexico. The wall project, spanning roughly 44 kilometres, required the tree's removal, drawing criticism from people who saw it as the needless destruction of a natural landmark nearly as old as the nation itself.
Why now: The destruction of an iconic centuries-old tree for border wall construction has sparked public outrage and debate over environmental costs.
