This is really alarming for a developing country like Pakistan which lacks resources, strategic planning and a broad vision. Exponentially , our population is multiplying every year. Despite with meager resources ; it looks that we are heading towards more dependency on other nations, their financial institutions for more debts, interests and so on. Our agriculture sector is not equipped with to meet up with the nation's needs. Our farmers are less aware of the modern techniques of farming.

Thats why, we still import wheat, refined petroleum, Petroleum gas, Palm Oil, Raw Cotton, Oil seeds, fruits etc. In fact, our soil is rich in natural resources like, gas...

Pakistan is facing drastic changes due to climate severity in recent years, in spite that we do not contribute in carbon emission largely, compared to other developed nations. We are getting unbearable punishment for climate change every year in shape of fire on forests, floods, heatwave, increased temperature etc. Although we are responsible for deforestation, construction on river sides and our negligence as a whole.  Recent floods in this decade exposed our real administrative, governance structure as well as our social psyche. Since march 2022 we experienced intensive heat wave in the country. We also observed massive fire on forests at different locations.

As we know the survival of life on the green planet is now conditioned with, how we protect, consume our natural assets, preserve and conserve our biodiversity. Now is need of the time to expedite our speed of growing greenery. Otherwise we have left with no second option. Every resident of the earth has the obligation of planting a tree once a year if convenient so. I would suggests, every individual or elder of a house should plant a tree within the house premises or outside. Further it is appealed to the community elders, religious scholars, or preachers, who use load speakers frequently, should highlight the importance of plantation on priority basis.      Survival on green belt is immensely endangered by Climatic Changes in the last few decades. If the toughest challenges and environmental hazards are not perceived in real time; indeed it would be a great loss to the humanity. The teachings of our religion "Islam" says, Tree plantation is a (Sadqa Jaarai), The person...

This is to acknowledge SAMA TV Channel for reporting about the New Glacier formed in Gilgit Baltistaan in northern areas of Pakistan. Although we know that climate change is affecting our frozen areas but a new glacier is formed, for which the scientists are keen to carry out research about this new phenomenon. It is reported that this area has more than seven thousands Glaciers, but most of the glaciers are melting due to climate change or global warming. It is observed that some of the glaciers have been melted upto 4 kms around, but this new Glacier named as PARI GOOSH in the area of PASU in Gilgit Baltistaan is in expansion position. The scientists are deeply thinking about its formation and location. We have heard about the frozen lands like Antarctica and Siberian glaciers are also melting but this new occurrences may lead to new path in Climatic studies in the days ahead.   Written by: Painda Mand (PM)

In the month of May 2022. we saw massive fire on Koh-e-Suleman, mountain located at the Sherani District, north west of Balochistan Province to the Southern parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

As it is observed that wildfire ...
