KEEP PLANTING TREES
Keep Planting Trees (KPT), An Initiative that aims to encourage tree planting as an on-going activity for people of all ages. Caring for the environment is our responsibility and working towards conserving our Forest Biodiversity is an initiative towards Global Cooling.
This initiative is the result of the UNEP 2006 TUNZA International Children’s Conference on the Environment, Putrajaya, themed ‘Save A Tree, Save Our Lungs’, organized in partnership between UNEP and YAWA. Rimba Tunza Wetlands Putrajaya was then created by the children, dedicated to children whereupon 70 trees were planted with the message to keep planting trees. (Please visit website: www.yawa.org/tunza).
YAWA made its official announcement on KEEP PLANTING TREES campaign on 5th June 2007, on WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY.
