Introduction
According to 1998 census, Peshawar is the highest populated district of Khyber Pukhtunkhwa. It is also an industrial hub of the province. These industries and millions of vehicles used by the locals’ emit toxic gases that have a negative impact on the environment. A steep loss in the number of trees and plants is also noticed in Peshawar and its peripheries due to new roads. To attain the environmental equilibrium, a highly proactive plantation campaign is needed; in which communities/students/businessmen and locals are mobilized and encouraged to actively participate.
Objective:
1. To plant 100,000 saplings of different species in District Peshawar and FATA through plantation campaign “Green Revolution 2012”.
2. Awareness campaigns among locals regarding environmental issues; causes, effects and actions.
