REDA is looking for participants, donors, volunteers, advisers for their proposed project of GREEN REVOLUTION 2012. 

Details of the proposal are;

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.
Situation Analysis
Peshawar has 92 union councils with an estimated population of 2,038,629 (1998 Census). According to KPK Bureau of Statistics 2009 report Distt. Peshawar has a total of 1328 Government Schools. See below Tables for different statistical details.

Green Revolution 2012 - REDA

I have recently joined a Peshawar based NGO: "Research, Education and integrated Development Agency" (REDA) as Liaison Manager. We are working on its website, I will share it with my readers when it is launched. We are working on different socio-economic issues. In 2012, the first project that we want to take up is "Green Revolution 2012". This is a campaign for afforestation in Khyber PukhtunKhwa. The basic plan we have is to mobilize Government Schools students of KPK to actively participate in plantation. The idea is to get "every student plant a tree" and thus will get a fair amount of newly planted trees. We are looking for donors and volunteers who wish to contribute in this step towards a greener Pakistan. Donations could be in terms of money or saplings. We will highly appreciate if someone can share any social contacts that will be helpful in this regard. I will update regularly on the progress of this and other forthcoming campaigns.
