Situation on the Ground — Tesla Gigafactory Berlin Grünheide

Tesla‘s factory & construction area is surrounded by:

The Protests

They are protesting various issues, mainly:

With this article, I mainly refer to the following points of criticism:

Forest Clearing at the Tesla Gigafactory Berlin Grünheide

 The area of Giga Berlin consisted and consists mostly of pine plantations. Conifer plantations are harvested at regular intervals. They are dry, prone to forest fires, and offer little value to wildlife. For many years the state of Brandenburg has been trying to replace this kind of pine monocultures with deciduous forests which are more resiliant to a changing climate, bind more water & CO2. Spruce and Pine also are not natural in most areas in Germany and spruce should by nature actually majorly be growing in swamps or higher vacinities. Naturally most of the country should instead be covered by beech trees. I have also never seen a clear cut of decidous forests but many cases of clear cut spruce and pine plantations during my hikes across Germany.

 Why did the protestors not equally fight the construction of the Trading-Logicistics-Center Freienbrink, or are now also protesting the companies located there?
