KARACHI: No plantation campaign can increase green cover of the city unless the government enacts a Karachi-specific law for tree protection and plantation and imposes a strict ban on cutting of tree/s, unless it is authorised by an expert committee representing all stakeholders, including the academia. This body should also serve as a legal authority on granting permission for tree plantation at public spaces.
This was shared by experts in a conversation with Dawn on Sunday.
They were expressing their opinion about the recently launched tree plantation campaigns in terms of their significance in improving green cover of Karachi.
