I’m heartbroken to find out daily more news about how cruel, irresponsible and unaware we are when it comes to nature, animals, beings of any kind. The world is our home, that we have to take care of, protect and value. I do my part as much as I can. I hope u do it too, I hope we will be more aware of our actions. Happy world environment day! #iuliavantur #worldenvironmentday #nature #world #clean #love #care #protect #plants #trees #nourish #idomypart #lockdown #isolation #friday #work

World Environment Day: Centre launches programme to increase forest cover in urban areas

There is a need to increase forest cover in urban areas to create and enhance their lung capacities, Union Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar said on Friday at an event to mark World Environment Day virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the virtual celebration of World Environment Day 2020, themed as 'Nature and Biodiversity', Javadekar launched the Nagar Van or Urban Forests with 200 corporations and cities across India while urging people to actively participate and increase the tree cover in their areas. He also said these trying times can be overcome if everyone understood their responsibility towards nature. World Environment Day (WED) is celebrated on June 5 every year.
