The increasing need for
environmental conservation has become prominent in the past few years. Several
organizations have started initiatives to promote environmental welfare and for
that reason HOPE- an NGO in Pakistan has initiated the tree
plantation activity.
Planting a tree is a lifelong
investment. How well this investment grows depends on the type of tree selected
and the planting location, the care provided during planting, and the follow-up
care after planting. Getting your new tree off to a healthy start will help the
tree mature to its full size and ensures it will provide environmental,
economic, and social benefits throughout its lifetime.
Tree Plantation is poised to
effect a positive change in the world's forests growing fast growing trees on a
global scale.
The Tree plantation program has
already begun in Cities like Badin and Thatta and is now at Phase 1. Phase 1
depicts three types of plants: lemon, guava and Java Plum.
The sites have been selected and
200 plants have been decided upon for plantation. These trees will have a
tremendous impact on climate change.
Some of the very obvious benefits
that tree plantation has is: Trees provide oxygen, they cleanse the air,
prevent water pollution, conserve energy, most importantly they provide for
wood which in turn increases the timber market production and boosts the business.
Under the Leadership of Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla- a child specialist in
Karachi, HOPE- a health NGO in Pakistan is dedicated to improving
the condition in Pakistan, by way of all necessary means which also includes
tree plantation.
Once phase 1 is completed, HOPE
will move on to searching for more sites where trees can be planted, while
those which had already been planted will be well looked after. HOPE wishes to
combat climate change through such activities.
