The development of Tesla's gigafactory near Berlin has sparked controversy, involving the loss of approximately 500,000 trees and igniting protests over environmental impacts.
Analysts noted that while the factory's operations significantly harmed local ecology, they must also be weighed against the potential benefits of electric vehicle production.
Protests have escalated against the planned expansion of the factory, with activists arguing that further destruction of forests could endanger essential protected drinking water sources.
The satellite analysis reveals that 329 hectares of forest have been cut down, with climate activists responding by occupying tree houses and clashing with police.
