ISLAMABAD: UN-HABITAT has launched a tree plantation campaign for the benefit of communities in the areas affected by devastating floods during 2010 and 2011. The UN agency aims at planting 200,000 saplings in 400 villages in view of the massive tree cutting in the affected areas for the purpose of reconstruction and rehabilitation. It also aims to reach out to as many as 30,000 families across the country.

Although the news did not attract as many readers as a "spicy hot" news would but it's the most heart warming news I have read since the 2010 floods. We needed such steps action plus a scheme for public awareness at primary & higher school levels about land erosion and the benefits of trees. Another subject need attention is; strategic agricultural planning.
