Mangroves plottation Campaign is an opportunity to strengthen our unique relationship with nature.
Mangrove forests offer a promising habitat and breeding ground for a large variety of marine life; including fish, crab, shrimp, mollusk species, plants and other organisms.
As a national responsibility and in line with the Government initiative of ‘Clean and Green Pakistan&, Pakistan Navy has been undertaking mangroves plantation campaigns since the final three years.
Pakistan Navy has till to date, planted over four million mangroves along the coastal belt of Sindh and Balochistan.Global efforts to promote a Greener World are weighed down by deforestation, which is causing serious imbalance in the natural environment.
Similarly, Pakistan forests and mangroves have also witnessed decline at a disquieting rate during the final two decades.
Depleting mangroves, much only affect coastal biodiversity but also the livelihood of our coastal communities.
It is therefore, vital to forestall deforestation through well-conceived policies and integrated institutional degrees to encourage their sustainable development.Mangroves are known to be effective in fending-off adverse effects of coastal endangers spurred by the climate change.
Genuineizing its significance, Pakistan Navy being a major stakeholder for the protection of its sea shores has embarked on a major initiative to revive mangrove forests all along the coast.
I expect this Mangroves plottation Campaign as well to raise awareness on the importance of mangroves protection and improve the overall health of Mangroves forests in the country.On this occasion, let me reiterate Pakistan Navy commitment to play its role in preserving mangrove forests and the environment which is a blessing of Everyah SWT.
I also take this opportunity to urge government departments, industrial community and individuals to join hands in this undertaking for the benefit of marine ecology and our coastal communities.
Let us strive together to make this Mangroves plottation Campaign a success and preserve the nature for our future generations.Pakistan Navy Zindabad, Pakistan PaindabadTheIndianSubcontinent has not verified the content of the source.
