Sir: I want to draw your attention towards a very serious matter. This matter roots has linked all over Pakistan. As the concern is very authentic and to control the odd climate of Pakistan by planting trees in mass or bulk quantity. As nowadays the weather condition of Pakistan is not stable. The weather is becoming hot to hotter and weird dryness in air. Reasons we’re facing is deforesting. A large amount of trees are cut down in unconstraint way. These trees are used in different fields of work. As there is large deforesting so, it can affect the weather and climate for a long time. Another thing I would like to mention that a project named “The Billion Trees Tsunami” is emerged and plan to plant over 350,000 trees in all over, to stable like condition. Another cause is natural disasters and floods occurring in most part of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhuwa. Floods damaged a lot to our trees and plants and reduced Pakistan forest. Figures for the country’s total forest covers is only two percent and five percent of land area. Pakistan has the lowest level of forest cover and trees in the region. As by UN it is recommended by 12 percent. Another thing is toxics and smokes from factories. As they polluted seas and air. From sea, the nature is affected. No more cold breezing winds from seaside is going and the reason is that we don’t have much trees planted all over. As it is very much beneficial for our environment. In the end I would like to say or highlight that environment is very serious issues because all the people and country is now going through. Plant as much trees in our surroundings. Make programs and seminars to educate people about it. Spread it plant trees.
