Ash dieback: 100,000 trees destroyed to halt spread

A ban on the import of ash trees came into force on Monday and an expert tree disease taskforce (группа специалистов) has been established.

But Labour accused the government of being "asleep on the job" and failing to to act quickly enough.

Ministers said they acted as soon as the disease was confirmed and had taken the threat "extremely seriously".

The Chalara fraxinea fungus, which causes Chalara dieback - also known as ash dieback - has already killed 90% of ash trees in Denmark.

The disease was first spotted in the UK in February, at a nursery in Buckinghamshire, and was subsequently (впоследствии) identified in other nurseries and newly planted areas.

But it has now been found in the wider countryside in East Anglia, sparking concerns the disease, which has the potential to devastate (опустошать) the UK's ash tree population, has spread to mature старый trees.

'Dither'
Environment minister David Heath told MPs that 100,000 ash trees had already been destroyed to try to prevent (предотвращать) the spread of the disease - this is 42,000 more than the environment secretary had previously ранее disclosed.

Mr Heath said: "On discovering Chalara in the UK, plant health authorities took immediate action to rapidly assess ash trees for signs of infection at over 1,000 sites where ash plants from Europe had been grown or planted in the last five years."

A voluntary moratorium on imports had been imposed (налагать) before the government announced its temporary ban, he said.

I consider that trees can't be destroyed. it is possible to cure trees somehow

questions:
What do you think, whether people correctly made?
Can people destroy trees?
What is your opinion about it?

Trees give us air and wood. We must value and protect them. Tree resourses are not endless and some day we will lose them. It will be our fault.

People must protect the environment around them. In my opinion, the government doesn't think about this issue at all. Emergence of new viruses directly depends on humanity. I think that Chalara dieback is not an exception.

The condition of nature is increasingly deteriorating. We both kill and try to save nature. facepalm I believe that all troubles in nature are our fault. And such disasters lead to negative consequences. dry

It is sad that nature is in danger.I think trees are a very important thing in human life.People should care about trees, because they breathe fresh air that is produced by trees. Moreover,people can build furniture of wood. But the main reason why people should care about trees is that trees are living things.
