"Tree cover in urban spaces has a major effect on health and well-being, as trees can lower extreme temperatures and boost the mental and physical health of residents."
"We don't have a lot of greenery where we live... It makes our city very hot," said Fatima Irfan Shaikh from Karachi, highlighting the lack of tree coverage.
"Developing patches won't help ... we need to focus on the entire area," said ecologist Mayuresh Ghash, stressing the need for a comprehensive approach to tree coverage.
