Punjab's Green Corridors: Nature's Defense Against Climate Change
13 Apr
Summary
- Biodiversity corridors are being established to protect climate and natural habitats.
- Native trees like sheesham and bargad will be planted to increase green cover.
- New regulations protect 'Heritage Trees' older than 30 years or with wide trunks.
Horticulture agencies throughout Punjab have been directed to implement the Climate Resilient Punjab Programme by creating biodiversity corridors. These corridors, defined as strips of vegetation connecting natural habitats, aim to protect the climate and natural environments. This initiative is a significant step in combating environmental degradation and addressing air pollution challenges like smog across the province.
