Wednesday is Thailand’s National Tree Day. The Prime Minister today invited members of the public to plant more trees to benefit the climate and the environment, as part of the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment’s campaign.
PM and Minister of Defence Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha today received iron wood tree sprouts from the Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment Varawut Silpa-archa, in a ceremony held at Government House in Bangkok, accompanied by executives of the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment (MNRE).
For National Tree Day this week, the MNRE has handed out sprouts to the Prime Minister as well as other Cabinet members to be planted, in a campaign encouraging the public to plant more trees for the environment.
The Prime Minister said today that Thailand is considering tree planting campaigns with neighboring countries along shared borders as part of the Thailand Plus One policy, as well as working towards a reduction of farmland burning which affects the environment.
He invited the public to plant more trees in order to offset environmental degradation, and hoped for the MNRE to achieve success in this campaign, as well as the campaign to plant 100 million trees to celebrate the auspicious occasion of His Majesty the King’s coronation.
Thailand’s National Tree Day falls on the same day as the Buddhist holiday Visakha Bucha. The MNRE’s campaign on this day is aimed at promoting public participation in limiting climate change and mitigating air pollution through an increase in the number of trees throughout the nation.
