Nature at your service

On 5th June, the World Environment Day was observed all over the world. This year's theme “Forests: Nature at Your Service” calls for collaborative global efforts for increased investment in forest management and forest resources to increase employment, reduce deforestation and help tackle climate change. The government of Bangladesh along with NGOs and different socio-political organisations arranged various programmes on the day to make people aware who are directly involved in the act of deforestation. They stressed the importance of tree plantation, reducing felling of trees, etc., because trees trim down floods and droughts. It is not possible to eradicate all the problems overnight as we have limited manpower and logistic support. Awareness is the main way to come out of this problem.
