Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar on Saturday inaugurated the monsoon tree plantation campaign by planting a sapling at China Park near Sagian Interchange. He offered prayers to make this campaign successful. Speaking on the occasion, the chief minister said this is the responsibility of every Pakistani to make the tree plantation campaign successful. As many 50 crore trees will be planted in Punjab in five years, while 90 lakhs trees will be planted during the current year.
The 10 billion Trees Tsunami Program of Prime Minister Imran Khan will be the game changer. Currently there are 21 trees per acre in Punjab and we have set the target to increase this percentage to 28 trees per acre by 2025. The forest area in Pakistan is 5.1 percent while it is 3.27 percent in Punjab. Only planting trees should not be our target but looking after trees is also our responsibility.
He said the Forest Department will give 70% subsidy on the tree plantation at 3950 acre area under the Social Forestry Project. The chief minister appealed to the people to plant trees to make the country green. The chief minister also inspected the stall set up by the Forest Department. He was also brief on the tree plantation campaign.
