Recently I was invited to an event that promised to be productive. Young Cuban environmentalists and representatives of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), met to try to coordinate actions in support of nature in our country.

It’s now certain: my Ceiba has died. The tree that they pruned almost four years ago in my neighborhood was not able to survive that act of aggression. San Agustin, suburb of Havana, has been left without one of its principal cultural symbols.
