Success of billion tree tsunami led to 10 bn tree initiative: PM
 

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Sunday that the success of the billion tree tsunami gave the government confidence to take the 10 billion trees initiative.The PM in a tweet said: “From nurseries to full forest areas, the success of Billion Tree Tsunami has been unprecedented with public & pvt involvement. Has given us confidence to take the initiative to 10 bn trees. KP's forest cover has increased by 4%, contributing to the fight against climate change.” Under PM Imran, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), which came to power this year, pledged to plant billions of trees to tackle the effects of climate change. In 2013, the PTI-led KP government introduced a green-growth initiative to tackle deforestation, build more small-scale hydroelectric projects and overhaul national parks.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/com/cwEr/~4/6kAz6hO-0JU
