WHO ARE THESE ENEMIES OF NATURE?

In this age and time when the world is agog with shouts about climate change, this period when many individuals and government institutions are seriously preaching the gospel of the environment that trees should be planted, in OAU, the life spans of trees are being sporadically shortened by enemies of the environment. Is it that OAU has too many trees than it is supposed to have? Or are we just unlucky that we have many people who are haters of nature in positions of authority?
This is not the first time that the environment will be denigrated by the authorities. However, the rate at which trees are being cut now cannot but make one ask questions. One wonder why these tree-cutters are all snatching the best spaces of birds from them. Is it that the bed spaces of innocent students that were pilfered are so inadequate to the extent that they feel it is imperative that they extend their subjugating tentacles to nature? OAU is noted to the second place in the world that houses highest the highest bat population in the world. So, why does the authority want to disintegrate the family of bats?
It has come to our notice that the most of the trees have been turned into planks. This may just underline the fact that the sole reason why nature is been betrayed in such dastardly way is in order to make the pocket of the authority smile monetarily.
SOCIOSCOPE hereby requests that the authorities come out plan about why they have chosen to deface nature. Let all those that betray nature remember no one backstabs nature and goes without been punished.
