In his message on International Day of Forests, he said the government will ensure that the country’s crucial forest ecosystems are protected as they are the lifeline of livelihood and environmental well-being of the nation.
The Prime Minister called upon the provincial governments, civil society and the people to become partners in the quest for Green Pakistan.

onserve our indigenous forests. This has become critical to our survival as a nation.
