\u201c#Pakistan @ImranKhanPTI vision of #10BillionTreeTsunami is once again termed by @UNEP as a global #Leader initiative at the Ministerial dialogue on #EcosystemRestoration at #UNEA yesterday,\u201d Amin said.
\nThe SAPM added that the country had gone totally into restoring and investing in nature. \u201cIt has been an interesting journey that paid billions of rupees worth dividends all along.\u201d<\/p>\n
The SAPM also extended his gratitude to the UNEP for allowing Pakistan to host World Environment Day during such an important year. \u201cAnd it was a very important year that kicked off the world ecosystem restoration decade that we are all living in,\u201d he underlined.<\/p>\n
He elaborated that Pakistan\u2019s journey started three years back in 2014 when it started investing in planting trees in one of the province of the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe province in the north of Pakistan (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) that set a target of one billion trees achieved it in 2018. After assuming power at the federal level we started TBTTP,\u201d the SAPM said.<\/p>\n
He informed that the TBTTP initiative was going all over the country and it helped restore over one million hectares of degraded land all across Pakistan so far.<\/p>\n
He highlighted that this journey of ecosystem restoration taught Pakistan one important message that when someone invests in nature; it always pays back more in response.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
