FRWO Launches Green National Initiative in Iran



Green National Initiative in Iran with the slogan of "Each Iranian Should
Plant a Tree" is launched by FRWO.

Green National Initiative with the slogan of "Each
Iranian Should Plant a Tree" is launched by FRWO in Iran.

According to FRWO’s website, Maximum participation of
people and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) as a manifestation of national
solidarity and harmony aimed at creating more green space, developing
vegetation cover, promoting natural resources' culture and expanding pathways
to self-sufficiency is one the goals pursued in the green national initiative
in Iran.

In 2011, according to Article 15 of the Law on Increasing
Productivity based on the Supreme Leader's order, FRWO was obliged to increase
the country's per capita forest from 1,700 square meters to 2,500 square meters.

FRWO has planted 150 million saplings in the country so far
as part of this initiative.

Based on this report, Supreme Leader plants tree
symbolically on Arbor Day to mark the vital importance of tree planting
annually.

In one of his statements on Arbor Day in 2014, after
planting a sapling, Supreme Leader reiterated: "I ask the people to
respect trees and attach great significance to the environment. The slogan,
"Each Iranian Should Plant a Tree" which is common among the people
is a good slogan.

The people should do their best to plant more trees on such
days. Both the people and officials in particular should prevent the hands
which try to destroy the environment. They should not allow our forests,
rangelands and the environment in cities and suburban areas to be
destroyed".
