A coconut tree is being felled to make the room for a construction purpose. A view from my village.

Now that's not a pretty sight. They don't cut the coconut trees expecially in Kerala and Karnataka as many people use coconut scraps and oil in cooking.

Hi Ikka.. This image will help our friends here on how people manage to get to the top of a coconut tree :) [the trick is on the rope in his leg :)];

There is no harm in cutting an old tree provided you plant two saplings before the old one is harmed [just my view point - ignore if not applicable].

Cutting a coconut tree is not so bad as cutting the trees in the jungle. Very nice "action" shot!

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?

If the coconut tree should not be cut, then this is of course not a goot thing.But if it's being done "in the name of progress" then of course, it would be very sad. Trees are beautiful, but sometimes they need to be "thinned out". I do like that you took this photo tho. Verena

Aww what a shame, as a natural resource in so many different ways, coconut trees should not be cut down. Sadly though, its all too common to see trees of all kinds being destroyed to make way for buildings.
