Honouring "Forest Queens"
International Women's Day has occurred for well over a century with the first gathering held in 1911. On the occasion of international women day, TERRE Policy Centre is going to felicitate the Six Dasing Women's working in the field of Environment & Forest and continuously taking tirelessly efforts to protect the natural forest for a sustainable future. The event will be followed with an interactive session on experiences and challenges faced by these "Forest Queens" while working on difficult sites and extreme conditions.
Here is the month of June and the onset of the rain god.
The trees and plants will bloom with rain showers.
However, we see depletion of groundwater storage. The heavy development around us like the cement roads, tiles and construction activities does not help water to percolate in the ground.
We desperately need to plan the storage of water in the ground with help of tanks and seepage.
This will increase the level of groundwater reserves. The rivers, wells and small water reservoirs will have adequate supply.
Harvest water! Conserve life on Earth!
