How do they die?
- burkaman 9y agoI've heard of environmentalists being murdered while trying to stop loggers from cutting down protected trees. Not sure if that's what they mean.
- nonamechicken 9y agoWikipedia page of Brazil Nuts tree says this: In Brazil, it is illegal to cut down a Brazil nut tree. As a result, they can be found outside production areas, in the backyards of homes and near roads and streets. The fruit containing nuts are very heavy and rigid, and they pose a serious threat to vehicles and people passing under the tree. Brazil nuts sink in fresh water, which can cause clogging of waterways in riparian areas.

- scott_karana 9y agoCan't you still prune branches and the like?
- marcosdumay 9y agoAfter you follow some bureaucracy you get your answer. It's almost always "no", but the government can decide to prune (but not cut) them by themselves. My city has many trees, and tree related deaths got within an order of magnitude of the big killers (transit, violence) a few years ago. The local government got a special case permission to cut the most dangerous trees, but some stupid greens made some vocal protests, so it lasted only for about two months. Anyway that was enough to improve things for a while.
