BSS, Rajshahi :
Massive tree plantations can help reduce carbon emission at a substantial level, making it a key factor in facing the adverse impact of climate change in the vast Barind tract.
Optimum forestation could help stop degradation of environment and biodiversity making the country a safe habitat for everyone. Expanding the country’s forest area by up to 25% of the total landscape will protect Bangladesh from the possible and alarming consequences of the ongoing climate changes.
The observations came at a tree plantation campaign in Herbal Horticulture field of the Department of Pharmacy in Rajshahi University yesterday.
Bandhan Society for Community Development (BSCD), a volunteer organisation, organized the campaign with the main theme of “Give back our forest for us”. BSCD has a plan for plantation over one lakh saplings of herbal, forest and fruit trees in Rajshahi city in the current season.
Prof Chowdhury Sarwar Jahan, Pro-VC of RU, inaugurated the event by which large numbers of tree saplings planted. Prof Meer Imam Ibne Wahed, Prof Anwarul Islam, Prof Ilias Hossain, Prof Ashique Mosaddique, Prof Golam Sadique and BSCD President Shamsher Ali and General Secretary Erphan Ali were present on the occasion.
Prof Sarwar Jahan told that there was no alternative to creating more forest areas for which adequate financial support from both national and international donor agencies was required.
Stressing the need for formulating time-befitting policies, he also pointed out that the present impacts of climate change have adversely affected the region’s agriculture, irrigation, navigation, ecology, bio-diversity, weather, environment and underground water levels.
Massive tree plantation can help reduce carbon emission at a substantial level and that is very important to face the adverse impact of climate change in the dried area, he added.
Teachers’ role to ensure adolescent-friendly health services stressed
Responsive role of teachers, parents and leaders of influence has become an urgent need to ensure adolescent-friendly reproductive health services to all the target people for substantial and sustainable reduction of child marriage and child pregnancy, speakers at a discussion here said.
