Pakistan’s Prime Minister has been an advocate for environmental conservation for a long time. Before becoming Prime Minister, he oversaw the planting of a billion trees in the province where he was in power. Now he has launched an even more ambitious project dubbed the “10 Billion Tree Tsunami” in which the government aims to reclaim land currently held by the “timber mafia” and transform it into forests and wildlife parks. Pakistan has one of the highest rates of deforestation in Asia, but with this new initiative, it looks as if some of that damage can be reversed. The end goal is to plant at least 10 billion new trees in Pakistan within the next five years.
