Why It's Important?
The initiative underscores the critical role of tree planting in combating climate change and maintaining ecological balance. Trees act as carbon sinks, absorbing CO2 and helping to mitigate global warming. By encouraging widespread participation in tree planting, the campaign seeks to foster a culture of environmental stewardship and responsibility. This effort is particularly significant in regions facing deforestation and environmental degradation, as it promotes sustainable practices and community involvement in preserving natural resources.
