In a remarkable environmental initiative, over 1,000 students planted 40,000 Hijol and Koroch trees in a single day at Tanguar Haor, Bangladesh’s second-largest Ramsar site. The tree plantation drive aims to protect 83 villages surrounding the 10,000-hectare wetland in Tahirpur and Madhyanagar upazilas from seasonal floods, according to the Deputy Commissioner of Sunamganj. Students from five secondary schools and one higher secondary institution participated in the event, which also included a clean-up campaign. To create a sense of ownership and long-term commitment, each tree will be tagged with the name of the student who planted it—allowing them to track its growth in the future.
