Climate disaster is one of the biggest problems in Bangladesh. As part of the prevention of this problem, among the solutions, plantation or afforestation is an effective method. Hence the plantation program is conducted by PATHWAY. This afforestation is done by planting saplings on fallow land and roadsides. This will make nature greener and increase awareness.
With about 160 million people in a country of 144,000 square kilometers, tree coverage is now only 8% compared to 25% desirable amount. Likewise, the number of landless rural families is increasing rapidly with a rise in extreme poverty, lack of employment opportunities and economic assets. Besides, various natural disasters including climate change have increased.
Creating afforestation by planting tree saplings in barren, fallen and roadside areas. Spontaneous participation of volunteers and students will be ensured in this activity. Which will work to increase awareness on tree planting. The trees to be planted will be owned by poor and socially backward people.
Help restore local areas, prevent erosion and stabilize weather patterns. Also, wood is produced for furniture, housing construction and firewood. Some people will get employment, and after a certain period the trees will make the helpless and poor people economically self-sufficient.
