MUZAFFARABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 11th Aug, 2025) The wildlife has launched a plantation Drive at large-scale tree jointly organized with the Forest Department at Patika suburban area of Muzaffarabad here on Monday.

The Organic Growers Parscha and the Wildlife Department have been launched in Pattika. The campaign kicked off at the Wildlife Park and Zoo Patika, in wich residents, schoolchildren and environmental specialists and activists took part.

District Information Officer Sohail Khan, along with environmental activists including Raja Shakeel Khan and Daniyal Khan, planted saplings to mark the occasion.“Our region is among the most vulnerable to climate hazards,” participants said, adding that tree plantation is one of the most effective ways to improve the environment and fight climate change.

The campaign seeks to ensure maximum sapling survival by taking advantage of favourable rainy-season conditions. Priority is being given to indigenous tree species that support local biodiversity.
