Responsibility, not power: Advocating for native trees and sustainable forestry
  • Responsibility over power: Promoting native trees and sustainable forestry

We take over at a challenging time.

Syeda Rizwana Hasan, adviser to the interim government's Ministry of Forests, Environment and Climate Change and Water Resources at Chunarughat in Habiganj, said, "We have taken responsibility, not power, in a challenging time." The present generation wants forests. Forests cannot be destroyed. Social forestry is a good project. Eucalyptus trees cannot be planted in social forestry and forests. Now they should be cut and planted with native trees. He also said we will always work for Sushan.
