Spantik Pakistan will plant five trees for every foreign tourist who visits Pakistan for a tour to Hunza Valley. The trees will be planted in the northern areas of Pakistan starting from 2019 as part of our CSR initiative.
We aim to contribute to “Goal 13: Climate Action” of UN’s Sustainable Development Goals by taking part in the massive government campaign to plant 10 billion trees during the next five years to tackle climate change.
Pakistan’s adverse climate impacts are very much visible through changing temperatures, prolonged droughts, increased floods and extreme weather conditions especially in Pakistan’s mountain regions.
Pakistan stands 7th on the list of countries that are mostly likely to be affected by global warming and has one of the highest deforestation rates in Asia. Decades of tree felling have reduced the country’s forests to less than 3 percent of its total land area.
How planting trees will make a difference?
Planting trees will help save energy and money, cool our cities, reduce carbon emissions, reduce soil erosion, provide habitat for species of many kinds, provide clean water and add to the beauty of Pakistan’s mountain region by simply being there.
Our participants can also donate separately. Details on this initiative can be requested.
