How to make tree Plantation Program in Bangladesh A Success
Tree plantation is extremely important for our survival on Earth. In Bangladesh, there is vast potential for tree plantation due to its plain and riverine landscape. The elevated lands beside rivers, unused lands along sea-beaches, low-lying areas, and roadsides offer excellent opportunities for planting trees. Additionally, the hilly regions of the Chittagong Hill Tracts and Sylhet also have many areas that remain uncultivated and can be utilized for growing various types of trees.
To make the tree plantation program successful in Bangladesh, a massive and effective awareness campaign should be launched nationwide. Both the government and private sectors must work together and adopt an active and coordinated approach.
Many villagers are still unaware of the importance of trees. They should be educated about the benefits of planting and preserving trees, such as improving the environment, preventing soil erosion, and providing food and shelter. At the same time, they need to understand the harm caused by the indiscriminate cutting of trees. People should be encouraged to follow a simple rule: for every tree cut down, at least two should be planted.
The rainy season, especially June and July, is the ideal time for planting trees in our country. Each year, Tree Plantation Week is observed during this period. Everyone—from students and farmers to professionals and homemakers—should participate in planting more and more trees.
Only then can we ensure a greener, healthier, and more prosperous Bangladesh. Tree plantation is not just a government task; it is a national duty that requires the sincere involvement of all citizens.
