'Plant trees to create a balanced environment'
Unb, Dhaka
President Iajuddin Ahmed asked all to plant more and more trees and nurture those for enhancing forest resources and creating a balanced environment, as ecological imbalance poses a threat to human existence.The president made the call while inaugurating tree-planting programme at Bangabhaban as part of the three-month-long countrywide tree-planting programme in the country. "Tree is friend to nature and humans. Oxygen, the most important component of living, comes from trees. We get some basic elements like food, cloths, home, treatment and employment from trees," he said. He cited researchers' opinion that the ice of polar areas is melting increasingly, prompting sea-level rise. " Low-lying areas of the world, including Bangladesh, would be flooded due to rise of sea level. Rise of sea level with global warming is a great challenge to Bangladesh. We should plant more trees for checking global warming and reduce use of harmful gases, including CFC," he said.
