Authorities are attempting to manage pests on a Chinese pistache tree (Pistacia chinensis) overlooking the Leshan Giant Buddha in Leshan City, Southwest China’s Sichuan Province, March 2, 2016. The tree, which is 287 years old, has come under threat from pests in recent years and is in danger of falling down, said local authorities. The Leshan Giant Buddha is a 71-metre tall stone statue, built during the Tang Dynasty, and carved into a cliff face that lies at the confluence of rivers. (Photo/CFP)
