More than 200 students of PHALS Bani Academy and PHALS Tayma Integrated School in Cox’s Bazar were encouraged to plant trees by highlighting the importance of World Environment Day, causes of environmental disasters, things to do to protect the environment and planting trees. Fruit and forest saplings are planted in the bypass area at this time.
Three hundred fruit, forest and medicinal plants were planted and distributed at different places of the host community in Pekua and Ukhia upazilas. Discussions were also held with the local people on the causes of environmental disasters, actions to be taken to protect the environment and the benefits of tree planting.
Abu Morshed Chowdhury, executive director of the organization, said: As a result, thousands of people are losing their lives every year due to landslides. The temperature is rising. Different species of fish are floating in the sea, including dead dolphin sharks. Which resembles our terrible threat. So from now on we have to be aware. Future generations need to be made aware. We have to protect the environment by planting more and more trees. This is also a part of our work. We are working on raising awareness about environmental balance in our various projects. ”
