One Billion Trees Planted in KPK!

[Finer]

You do realise most of water comes from Kashmir which is being finished! Mian ji didn't even release a fart on the issue! Kalabagh dam if built in the next five years. will have how much storage of water and generate how much electricity?

Because it is Indian internal matter? How can Pakistan government get involved in the matter of Indian funded dam which is approved by UN?

until mian bradaz the fat tooi walas plant a billion tree's in punjab only then it will become halal!!!

It is infuriating to see some members undermine the project of Kaala Baag dam. Sometimes i wonder if Azad Kashmir made the right decision for Mangla dam for the sake of thankless Pakistanis.

I think people are missing out the main point which is water crisis, and in the nearest future, it will lead to water war between Pakistan and India over Kashmir due to water crisis.

Unfortunately, i am busy explaining the need of Kaala Baag dam to the sensitive Imranistan who can't think beyond PMLN-PTI.

You are right Sir. However it is a welknown fact that afforestation increases precipitation. Thus more tree means more rainfall. Who knows if we plant enough trees, say a a couple of billion in each province, increased rainfall could also help in resolving water shortage.

so it is ok to have an end put to the indus water treaty? not a single thing was done by the fat tooi. he ain't gonna live in Pakistan so f#ck everyone. Because of the nalaiki like the same nalaikhi and sabotage in kulbhushan case is a clear parallel in sabotaging to please his darling moohdhi.

So are you gonna go on the same line as that c#nt president of azad kashmir that they made a mistake on mangla dam? they should what join india as well?

I think it should be replicated in Gilgit Baltistan where there is an acute shortage of forest cover and the Baluchistan side bordering KP or near it.

Since now KPK government has the experience and the first hand knowledge about it.

I often go on long country walks in Berkhamstead in Hertfordshire and the Epping Forrest in Essex in summer time. Nearly all UK forests are managed and over the years I have come to a know a few hikers who are well versed in forestry. Since I have the irritating habit of never accepting any number without checking, let us do some arithmetic.

In the UK normal tree spacing for reforestation is between 8 x8 and 10 x 10 feet; that is 8 feet between each tree and 8 feet between each row. This gives roughly 400 to 600 trees per acre; let us say about 500 per acre. For wild life spacing is more and the number of trees could be as low as 200 per acre. Remember that despite being looked after, not all the saplings survive to mature trees. Survival rate is different for reach species, however an average of 90% is good.

In simple terms, 1-million trees need about 2000 acres. 350,000 hectares are equal 864, 850 acres therefore number of trees planted comes to about 432-million. Understand that maximum number of saplings planted for reforestation is about 700 per acre; even then total number of trees should be about 600-million. I would say actual figure is probably 500-million trees.

The figure of 1-billion is obviously an exaggeration but even if KPK gov’t successfully managed to grow 500-million trees in 2 –years; it is a fantastic achievement.

Hats off to PTI & KPK gov’t. Keep up the good work.

40% of the trees are actually planted as saplings in nurseries, and the other 60% comes from forest regeneration and planting seeds in protected areas.

So not all the trees are planted, but I guess "400 million tree tsunami" wouldn't be as catchy

Judging by your mindset and in the tone of ungrateful manner, Azad Kashmir paid heavy price for nothing.

Meanwhile, carry on the pointless debate [which you brought] which is between India and UN that appears to fly over your head.

That you don't need water and electricity to live to conform the pointless existence of Mangla Dam at the expense of million homes of displacement?

Anyone who thinks we don't is a moron of highest order. Even the idea that planting billion trees would use up all the water is an absured idea and pushed out by someone who lacks the basic understanding of cycle of life on the planet.

has that resolved the issue of why we need trees? or until punjab does a copy & paste only then it will righteous?

Pakistan is becoming arid fast and one reason is because there is not sufficient enough forests or woodland. In UK they take their trees extremely seriously despite having rainfall all year around! Even the Amazon forest is being reversed all countries with the jungle are now seeing the adverse impact of deforestation. I still dont understand the moronic idea that planting tree's will consume all the water came from.

height of stupidity!

Not use but maintain. You don't get rain everyday. For billion trees to live and survive, they need waters like human beings. And water is huge crisis in Pakistan where people are literally dying from not having access to the water. On the top of it, the gazillion tanks of waters have been allocated to Elite clubs/Bahria-Town development projects depriving common people right to free water.

Kaala baag dam serves as contingency plan to address water crisis and boost energy sector. Unfortunately, Imran Khan is coward who is always eager to appease Khattak all the times.

depriving common people right to free water.

When did people get this right to "free" water? It is a resource like any other, whose safe and adequate distribution takes a lot of effort, time and money to ensure.
