Islamabad, February 20, 2022 (PPI-OT):Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Climate Change Malik Amin Aslam says an overarching strategy for launching nation-wide spring tree plantation campaign has been formulated in consultation with all provincial forest departments. According to a press release, Amin Aslam said Prime Minister Imran Khan is expected to kick-start spring tree plantation campaign-2022 on Tuesday.

He said we have set a whopping target of planting over 540 million plants all over the country during the spring season under PM Imran Khan’s Ten Billion Tree Tsunami Programme. Amin Aslam said all-out efforts should be taken to take full benefit from the ongoing spring season by planting saplings on a large-scale in the country. Highlighting the importance of forests, Malik Amin Aslam stressed that highly climate-vulnerable Pakistan cannot cope with climate risks which have become increasingly frequent due to global warming impacts without increasing tree cover.
