Trans-persons join water conservation drive

Aimed at fostering inclusivity and environmental awareness, WWF Pakistan, under its Water Resource Accountability and Protection (WRAP) project, held an enlightening and interactive awareness session with the transgender community in Haripur.

The session, titled "The Human Role in Water Conservation," was designed to highlight the critical role that every segment of society, including marginalised groups, can play in protecting natural resources and combating climate change.

The session opened with an introduction to the pressing challenges surrounding water scarcity and the degradation of natural ecosystems. WWF Pakistan's team presented insightful information on the growing need for sustainable water management practices in the face of increasing environmental pressures.

The conversation emphasised how every individual, regardless of gender identity, can contribute meaningfully to conservation efforts. A central theme of the session was the inclusion of the transgender community as active stakeholders in environmental protection.

The speakers stressed that environmental sustainability requires participation from all walks of life and that marginalised communities often bear the brunt of climate-related challenges.
