why planted tree in July in Pakistan and India

 

 

 

In general, July falls during the monsoon season in Pakistan, which brings increased rainfall and cooler temperatures compared to the hot summer months. This combination of factors can create favorable conditions for plant growth.

During this time, crops like rice, maize, cotton, and vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and okra tend to thrive due to the availability of moisture and moderate temperatures. These crops require a significant amount of water for growth, and the monsoon season provides adequate rainfall to support their development.

However, the growth of plants can vary depending on the specific region within Pakistan. For example, in the northern parts of the country, where the climate is relatively cooler, July may be a favorable month for various fruits, including apples, apricots, and cherries.

why Pakistan need more growth plant

Environmental Benefits: Plants play a crucial role in mitigating climate change and maintaining a healthy environment. They absorb carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) through photosynthesis and release oxygen, helping to reduce the impact of greenhouse gas emissions. More plants can contribute to carbon sequestration, improving air quality and combating global warming.

Biodiversity Conservation: Increasing the number of plants helps preserve biodiversity. Pakistan is home to diverse ecosystems and unique plant species. By promoting plant growth and conservation efforts, Pakistan can protect its native plants, maintain ecosystem balance, and preserve habitats for wildlife.

Soil Conservation:

 Planting more vegetation helps prevent soil erosion. Plants stabilize the soil with their root systems, preventing it from being washed away by water or blown away by wind. This is particularly important in regions of Pakistan that are prone to erosion and desertification.

Food Security: Pakistan faces food security challenges due to a growing population and climate variability. Increasing the number of plants, particularly food crops, can enhance food production and improve food security. This includes promoting agricultural practices, such as crop diversification, sustainable farming techniques, and the cultivation of drought-resistant and high-yield crop varieties.

Economic Opportunities: Plant-based industries, such as forestry, agriculture, and horticulture, offer economic opportunities and contribute to the country's GDP. By promoting more plant growth, Pakistan can create employment opportunities, generate income for rural communities, and stimulate economic growth.

 

Health and Well-being: Plants provide numerous health benefits. They improve air quality by filtering pollutants and releasing oxygen. Green spaces with plants also promote mental and physical well-being, providing spaces for relaxation, exercise, and recreation. Increasing the number of plants in urban areas can help create healthier and more livable cities.

 

To address these needs, Pakistan has initiatives in place to promote afforestation, reforestation, sustainable agriculture, and conservation efforts. These efforts aim to increase the number of plants, protect existing vegetation, and raise awareness about the importance of plants for a sustainable future.

Present government working on growth plant in Pakistan

Billion Tree Tsunami:

 The Billion Tree Tsunami project was launched by the provincial government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in 2014 and expanded under the federal government. The aim is to plant billions of trees to combat deforestation, restore degraded forest areas, and address climate change. This project has gained international recognition for its success in increasing forest cover.

Ten Billion Tree Tsunami Programmed:

 Building upon the success of the Billion Tree Tsunami, the federal government launched the Ten Billion Tree Tsunami Programme in 2018. It aims to plant ten billion trees across Pakistan to enhance forest cover, conserve biodiversity, combat climate change, and promote green jobs.

Rangelands Development Project: The government has also initiated the Rangelands Development Project, which focuses on improving rangeland management, rehabilitating degraded areas, and promoting sustainable livestock grazing practices.
