Nagaland CAWD & Taxes Advisor Kudecho Khamo today called upon the people to give efforts to conserve environment. This will help build a resilient climate and well-being of the people, Khamo said while addressing the launching programme of tree plantation drive by Chakhesang Public Organisation (CPO) in commemoration of World Environment Day at Sanzho Bridge, Sedzü River, Thenyizu village under Phek district.
Similar tree plantation drive was carried out in all the Chakhesang villages under CPO jurisdiction.
The Advisor regretted that human activities have disrupted the environment, yet he commended the community for their efforts to restore nature through tree plantation.
Khamo emphasized the need for ecological balance in line with this year’s WED theme.
He stressed the importance of protecting and conserving nature, which he referred to as God's gift to mankind.
He added that these actions would not only help people progress and develop but also protect them from diseases, sickness, and natural calamities.
Khamo observed that there are still significant areas of protected forests within the jurisdiction of the Chakhesang tribe.
He asserted the need to strengthen measures for the conservation of biodiversity rather than exploiting it and urged CPO, area/range public organizations, and village leaderships to pay attention to this issue.
Furthermore, he called for efforts to strengthen the resolutions adopted by CPO for nature's conservation and the imposition of a ban on the import of pigs/pork into its jurisdiction.
CPO vice president Vecito Dozo pointed out that the trees planted today will be beneficial for future generations and reiterated the objectives of the CPO for tree plantation.
He emphasized the importance of tree plantation, noting that it not only beautifies the environment but also benefits nature.
