Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Sunday that the success of the Billion Tree Tsunami was unprecedented and it was made possible with the help of public-private partnerships. The PM tweeted: “From nurseries to full forest areas, the success of Billion Tree Tsunami has been unprecedented with public & pvt involvement. KP’s forest cover has increased by 4%, contributing to the fight against climate change.”From nurseries to full forest areas, the success of Billion Tree Tsunami has been unprecedented with public & pvt involvement. Under PM Imran, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, which came to power this year, pledged to plant billions of trees to tackle the effects of climate change. In 2013, the PTI-led KP government introduced a green-growth initiative to tackle deforestation, build more small-scale hydroelectric projects and overhaul national parks.
