The PM asked the people to fully participate in the tree plantation campaign to enhance the country’s forest cover.

He noted it unfortunate that our forest cover remains very less when compared with other regional countries.

However, he blamed authorities concerned who neglected this matter in the past.

The Prime Minister said we have to turn Pakistan green to fight global warming and offset the impact of pollution.

He further said it will bring a big revolution if each person plants at least one sapling during the next three weeks.

Imran Khan said he has also directed the commissioners and deputy commissioners to ensure plantation at empty spaces in cities.

Moreover, he said our aim is to leave behind a better Pakistan for future generations.

Imran Khan said the government’s ten billion tree Tsunami project as well as plantation of one billion trees in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is widely acknowledged across the world.

Furthermore, he also referred to the worldwide recognition of Pakistan as a leading country which is taking steps to reverse carbon emissions.
